Official Description (provided by the hotel):: The Clifton’s privileged location on the cliff top offers an amazing sea view and makes it an ideal retreat for those in search of tranquility. The Conservatory Bistro offers a stunning view of the bay which can also be enjoyed from the lovely garden offering the perfect visual tonic to relax and revitalise, perhaps with a good book and an English Cream Tea, or refreshments from the licensed bar. Local is Best……with prime farming land all around us and a host of specialist growers and producers making the most of it, we usually have access to plenty of fresh seasonal fruit and vegetables, as well as quality fish and meat. The garden opens out to Keats Green and the lovely walk between Shanklin and Sandown (part of the Isle of Wight Coastal Path) with fantastic views across Sandown Bay. This also leads to the famous Shanklin Chine with a pathway down to the sandy beaches. Within easy reach by foot are the picturesque Shanklin Old Village with its thatched roofs, and the beautiful Rylstone Gardens. ... more less

“The Clifton was excellently placed for our three day visit, with friendly staff (boss take note) and very good food.”

Reviewed 4 May 2013

The breakfasts were outstanding, as was the one deliciously fishy dinner we had there. Our room had a bay window with sweeping views over the Channel - worth... More

Stayed 2 nights at the Clifton Hotel in Shanklin for my husbands birthday. I know the IOW isn't exactly huge, but Shanklin was a good choice of location, with the hotel itself is a few mins walk from the town/village centre making it easy to get to restaurants for the evening. The hotel overlooks the sea, and the beach is... More
