Lock in a great price for The Clifton – rated 9 by recent guests!

to get started.

Attention to detail, like fruit on the reception desk, umbrellas if its raining, Domino's in the lounge. The efficient way the hotel is run, service was excellent.

Richard, United Kingdom

Friendly, helpful staff, always willing to answer queries. Fabulous location. If walkers, easy walk to beach, town etc. Excellent breakfast, plenty of variety, quick, pleasant service. Quiet hotel, which is what we wanted!

Derek, United Kingdom

The room we stayed in was wonderful as we had a view of the sea. The manager was very friendly and cheerful ! The breakfast buffet was lovely especially the danish pastries :D !

Saran, United Kingdom

Everything from arriving early to leave our bags we were invited to go to our room, our bycles were locked away in a dedicated cycle shed. The receptionist was corteous and pleasant which was a fortaste of the rest of our stay. This hotel could easily be a 5 star.

Christopher, United Kingdom

cosy bar, good breakfast, fantastic location opposite sea.

Theresa, United Kingdom

Absolutely lovely stay, gorgeous view over the sea, great to eat our breakfast whilst enjoying this gorgeous outlook. The management and staff were really outstanding - so helpful and did their utmost to help us with all the planning, ferry bookings etc. The afternoon tea and cakes was quite something. Breakfasts were delicious with a really great menu to choose from. The room was light and airy and bed was lovely and comfy. We will definitely be back!

Denise, United Kingdom

We have stayed at the Clifton before and returned as we knew the welcome would be good as well as comfort and good food.

Ros, United Kingdom

The staff were all, without exception, very helpful and kind. The property was very clean and well cared for. Delightful garden and view over the sea. We had a very enjoyable short stay.

Jan, United Kingdom

Large bed, but only very heavy duvets- double - available Asked for 2 single, light weight duvets- no help Very uncomfortable in the hot weather at night

Theo, United Kingdom

Very comfortable bed, marvellous, breakfasts, friendly efficient staff, great position, ie close to old & new town an railway station, with lovely sea view.

Philip, United Kingdom

This property is 2 minutes walk from the beach. With a beautiful cliff top location, The Clifton boasts views of Sandown Bay from its lounge and garden. Leading onto Keats's Green, it has a bistro that uses local produce in its menu.

Many bedrooms have views of the Isle of Wight’s coast, and some have a balcony. Each room features free Wi-Fi, a TV, radio, a private bathroom and free tea, coffee and hot chocolate facilities.

The dining room provides home-cooked food using seasonal ingredients from the nearby farmland. Special dietary requirements can be catered for. The bar stocks beers brewed on the Isle.

The garden opens onto the Coastal Walk between Shanklin and Sandown. The picturesque Shanklin Old Village is a 5 minute walk away, and Shanklin Chine and the beach are also just a short walk from the hotel.

This is our guests' favorite part of Shanklin, according to independent reviews.

Couples in particular like the location – they rated it 9.4 for a two-person trip.

눉The bath room in the suite has NO Door. I mean nothing what so ever to block the sounds or the smell, no matter how close you are to your partner I don't think this will be comfortable. The breakfast was lovely but we ordered two smoked salmon one I had to give back immediately to the kitchen because it smells bad but they didn't bother to replace it, the other was half eaten by one of the family and he suffered stomach pain for two days, so stick to the English breakfast. No useful information at all from the reception though I tried several times. They are kind but has no information about any available transportation other than the general information sent by email in the time of reservation, which could not be applied. We couldn't reach the sightseeing buses or other buses. No bus stop of any kind is within 10 minutes of the Hotel.
눇The location was excellent for the views but you need to stroll down for 10-15 min. to the center of town for restaurants and shops but it is a very nice walk if you are not tired. The breakfast room has beautiful views. The cleaning lady is very kind and helpful.

눉When we were in our room a staff (housekeeper) just opened the door without even knocking the door asking "housekeeping?" However, when we arrived in our hotel the manager told us that if we leave the key downstair our room would be cleaned by housekeepers, but we didnt take the key downstairs meaning we didnt need housekeeping for that day.
눇The room we stayed in was wonderful as we had a view of the sea. The manager was very friendly and cheerful ! The breakfast buffet was lovely especially the danish pastries :D !
