This hotel is located just by the Shanklin beach and it’s handy for the Shanklin railway station. The staff is really friendly and breakfast is pretty good. More importantly, the room is cozy and comfy with beautiful seaside views. Highly recommend.

Lovely old victorian hotel with incredible views of the sea from the front rooms. Wonderful breakfast and the staff couldn't be nicer. You can get a newspaper in the morning.....who does that anymore? You can also have dinner or lunch there. Very convienient for people who like to walk. There is a walkway along the cliff right outside the door and you can walk down to the beach and Esplanade below. But too tired to hike back up the hill......there is a "LIFT" which will take you back up. Our room was lovely, although in July the sun comes streaming in quite early. We will stay there again.

Nous venons de séjourner 4 jours dans ce petit hôtel, avec mon fils. L’hôtel est ravissant, propre, le personnel accueillant et arrangeant. Les plats sont généreux et délicieux pour les petits et grands gourmands ( petit déjeuner et formule du jour ) . Le jardin est très agréable , aménagé pour un pause lecture ou gourmande. Nous y reviendrons avec le plus grand plaisir.

Pleasant and comfortable room. The hotel is in a fantastic location overlooking the sea. The breakfast was good quality and plentiful and the service warm and friendly. This is our second stay at the Clifton and we will be back again next year.

From the pleasant warm reception we were given, to being conducted to the delightful, airy, very spacious beautifully appointed room we were very impressed by the peaceful, calm of the hotel and quality and comfort of the surroundings. The views are delightful, the garden charming this is the perfect place where one can relax. The breakfast menu is excellent and will set you up for a day of discovering many of the delights of the Isle of Wight.

This was a true Bed and Breakfast experience. The staff was pleasant and welcoming. We had two rooms and both were impeccably clean. The location was great, Isle of Wight is hilly so do be aware if you have mobility issues. We traveled with my 72 year old father, but taxis were easy to get. Otherwise the beaches, dining, town center, Shanklin chine and more are all within a 10 minute walk. The views from here were amazing. Although it was sunny when we visited, we did appreciate that there were covered areas outdoors and indoor window seating for rainy or cold days. We loved that the hosts paid attention to all the details by providing: toiletries, reading books, binoculars, breakfast, luggage storage, and more. Our only regret is that we only had one night here. We cannot wait to return for an extended stay.

The two of us enjoyed a wonderful quiet and peaceful four weeks in the suite with bedroom and sitting room plus balcony and fabulous views of the sea from mid April to mid May. David, Carys and the staff were very kind, helpful and attentive with nothing being too much trouble. Everything was spotlessly clean, breakfasts and bar meals were thoroughly enjoyable and the icing on the cake was unexpectedly glorious weather from start to finish so many meals were eaten outside in the beautiful garden. We would absolutely love to return but unfortunately one of us is suffering from mobility issues which makes it difficult to climb perfectly straightforward stairs however we would highly recommend it, we chose we’ll!
