A luxury hotel that wouldn't look out of place in a fairy tale has gone on the market for £1million.
The stunning Windcliffe Manor, dating back to 1838, is nestled in the pretty seaside resort of Niton Undercliff on the Isle of Wight and enjoys spectacular views of the coast.
It was snapped up at auction for £750,000 by current owners Ric and Maggie Hilton, who spent six months lovingly transforming it into a luxury romantic getaway.

Now a boutique hotel called Enchanted Manor, it now boasts 10 luxury bedroom suites with four-poster beds, a one bedroom self-contained separate owner's apartment, a dining room/billiard room, commercial kitchen and a conservatory.
Mr and Mrs Hilton's whimsical interior design was inspired by the artwork of English fantasy artist and sculptor Josephine Wall.
The hotel also has an additional guest room, which is currently used as an intimate venue for weddings.
The romantic theme also spills into the outside spaces with impressive fairy-tale gardens, Chinese pergolas, cosy booths, a summer house and a Cinderella-style carriage sculpture.

Current owner Mr Hilton said: 'We wanted to do something new together, and after buying a rundown restaurant and turning it into a special Victorian tearoom/restaurant and then building a luxury stone thatched B&B we had no intention at that stage of buying anything else.
'However, friends kept urging us to come and look at Windcliffe Manor as it was called then, and although it was very run down and unloved, as soon as we walked through the door we both knew it was where we should be.
'We looked at each other and said how enchanting it was and that was the beginning of the creation of our Enchanted Manor.
The property also comes with a self-contained separate owners' apartment, which has one bedroom

The current owners of the Enchanted Manor, Ric and Maggie Hilton, who have decided to sell up and put the property on the market
'At the time, we had no idea how we would be able to buy it, but because of what we had done in the past with businesses our bank manager had faith in us and lent us the money.
'We have lovingly restored the old manor and created a very special haven for couples looking for somewhere different from run-of-the-mill accommodation for a romantic break or celebration, in a friendly atmosphere with first-class facilities in luxurious but unique surroundings.
'We have recently been granted a wedding licence, which covers the next three years, and also won the best wedding venue on the Isle of Wight.
'The location has always been a big attraction too - within walking distance of the village amenities, including local shops and school, as well as two lovely local pubs.'
Natalie Miley, a senior manager at Fine & Country Isle of Wight, which is marketing the property, said: 'We are overjoyed to have the opportunity to market such a unique and romantic boutique style hotel nestled in the heart of Niton.'
