Fernbank Hotel and Restaurant

The Fernbank Hotel is a small, friendly, family-run hotel, which nestles on the border of the 'Old Village' of Shanklin and the beautiful Isle of Wight downs. It offers traditional hospitality in a friendly and relaxed atmosphere.

Only a short walk to the magnificent cliff top views of Sandown Bay, this hotel has been a regularly-frequented and popular haven since 1949. The intimate, 19 room hotel has landscaped gardens and countryside views. It nestles on the border of the picturesque old village with its street of exquisite thatched buildings, shops, theatre and tearooms. A short walk through Tower Cottage Gardens leads to the magnificent cliff top views and the six miles of Blue Flag sandy beach of Sandown Bay.

Built in 1857, originally as a luxury Victorian villa, the Fernbank (which became a hotel in 1949) enjoys one of the most beautiful positions in the town of Shanklin. It is ideally located for both the world-famous Shanklin Chine, the downs and the six miles of 'Blue Flag' sandy beach of Sandown Bay: Big Mead and the lovely Manor Walk are just across the road. Standing in half an acre of land, including a landscaped garden, The Fernbank Hotel also possess its own off-street car parking.
