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.

    We had a warm welcome from our lovely hosts who throughout our stay were really friendly and helpful. Our room was lovely, beautifully decorated and the en suite bathroom was very well appointed with good quality toiletries provided. Everything was spotlessly clean. There were plentiful supplies of beverages, biscuits, fresh milk and mineral water. The breakfast was all freshly prepared and there was a lot of choice. Overall we were very happy with the Birkdale guest house, we would definitely recommend them.
