The Clifton

Located on Shanklin’s clifftop, The Clifton is brimming with coastal charm and is often described as a home away from home by its guests.

Offering 14 individually-designed bedrooms, the hotel is well-known for its sea-facing conservatory and award-winning gardens, both of which come with stunning views out to the English Channel.

Relax in The Clifton’s spacious lounge during the day and enjoy refreshments, from cappuccinos to beers, from their well-stocked bar.

A VisitEngland Breakfast Award winner, make sure to make the most of their morning menu and, though they don’t offer sit down meals in the evening, you’ll find yourself only a short walk from many of the Isle of Wight’s best restaurants and eateries.

If you’re looking for something to do in the vicinity, make sure to check out Shanklin Chine.

Although it’s a natural wonder in its own right during the day time, it’s at night that the Chine comes alive, with beautiful, colourful illuminations lighting up its narrow and winding paths.

Shanklin Theatre is also nearby and plays host to everything from musicals to stand-up comedy.
