About

Stunning Cliff Top Location:

The Clifton’s privileged location on the cliff top offers an amazing sea view and makes it an ideal retreat for those in search for tranquillity. The stunning view of the bay can be enjoyed from the conservatory lounge and 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 and bistro. 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.

Breathtaking sunrises and spectacular sunsets are available on the Isle of Wight. Our garden conservatory provides continuous front row views every morning of the sunrise, weather permitting. With clear skies that lack the light pollution of many areas, the night sky is quite often wonderfully spectacular.

Our delightfully furnished en-suite bedrooms have been designed to provide a comfortable retreat where you can really relax. Single, Cosy Double, Standard Double/Twin, Bay View Double, Bay View Balcony Double/Twin, Premier Suite, Family Suite (2 bedrooms). Facilities include: flat screen television, hairdryer, hot drinks refreshment trays with mineral water and complimentary toiletries. In the Bay View rooms we also supply binoculars for you to observe not only the cruise ships and sailing boats going past, but also the birds drifting by.
