Lovely Stay

Liked: Everything, The Clifton is our favourite place to stay in Shanklin. It's situation on the cliff path means there are great views. The staff are great and very welcoming and the Bistro menu is handy as there's not many places to eat in Shanklin early in the seaon.
Disliked: Nothing

Great first trip to Isle...

Liked: The Clifton is about a 10-minute walk from the Shaknlin railway station. Very easy to locate, and a stone's throw away from the Shanklin beach and Shanklin Chine.The property is very comfortable, clean, and cosy. I liked the food (I had breakfast and dinner) - good variety, and freshly prepared. David (the proprietor) paid personal attention to every detail and ensured that there was absolutely no hitch during my stay.Bonus: They have a beautiful selection of books to borrow and read during your stay and a lovely beach view to enjoy while taking your meals.
Disliked: Personally, there was nothing that I did not like. However, I did not see an elevator at the property. Folks with access needs might want to check beforehand.

Superb

Liked: Great location, very friendly staff, and lovely breakfast! We really loved the common area and that they served light meals in the evening so we didn't have to go out for dinner after a long day exploring the island.
