Boasting a garden and views of sea, Rylstone Manor is a guest house set in a historic building in Shanklin, 100 metres from Shanklin Beach. This beachfront property offers access to free WiFi and free private parking. The guest house features garden views and a sun terrace.

Rylstone Manor Hotel is a fabulous period hotel located in tranquil gardens in old Shanklin, near the chine. It is what I would term an "old school" hotel but I don't mean that in a disparaging way - it is a peaceful and comfortable building built in 1863, and the owners have obviously gone to great lengths to preserve the fine characteristics appropriate to the age of the building. The hall, sitting room and breakfast room areas all exude old world charm, with a wide staircase leading you upstairs to a large landing and equally well appointed rooms. The owners have decided to retain their Covid-style breakfast ordering - guests submit their choices the night before from a very extensive menu, and breakfast is ready when you come down at your requested time. It all works very efficiently and the breakfast quality is really superb. How do you get those egg yolks so orange ??!! Our room and en-suite bathroom were both very comfortable and well appointed, all in all we had a very relaxed and thoroughly enjoyable stay. We will not hesitate to book again on our next visit to the island.

    This is the nicest accommodation we have stayed in. The decor and finishing touches were amazing. Great location as well for walking into Shanklin Town and Old Village. The host was very good at communicating with us prior and during our stay. I would highly recommend this apartment to others. The boutique gift shop downstairs is lovely and worth a visit, very friendly staff in there.

    The location is in a quiet road, no sea views but only a short walk to the seafront. The hosts Simon and Jonathan are brilliant, able to give so much information, very friendly, nothing was too much trouble. The breakfasts were lovely, good choice and plenty of it, fresh fruit every morning and any variation of an English breakfast you wanted, a great start to the day.

    Location is excellent just 5 mins from the beach and the pool is a lovely addition . Owners are lovely people very welcoming , and surprised us with a complimentary cream tea! Our room was comfortable and quiet. If u looking for boutique modern interiors then this homely but charming hotel may not be to your taste , but if simple and clean and cosy is our vibe then u will have a very pleasant stay.

    Stayed here for two nights, last week. Beautiful guest house in a very quiet location, but near the beach and restaurants etc.Hosts were very attentive and couldn't do enough for us. The room was lovely. Had everything you needed, including an small ironing board and iron. The property was very clean. Breakfast was excellent with plenty of choice. Would certainly stay here again and would recommend to friends and family.

    Claremont is a lovely guest house, maintain and cared for to an immaculate standard, in a very convenient location just minutes from the centre of Shanklin and the beach lift. it is quiet, comfortable and the hosts are very pleasant, friendly people. It is ideal for a quiet, comfortable and relaxed stay away from hustle and bustle (or what constitutes hustle and bustle on the Isle of Wight) but near enough to get there when it’s wanted.

    Alan and Sue are great host and we really enjoyed our stay. Great view of the sea from our windows . The guest house is located in a quiet cul-de-sac with the costal path right at the back of the house and it took 10mins to walk down to the esplanade of Shanklin.
