With free WiFi, this homestay offers a satellite flat-screen TV, a washing machine and a fully equipped kitchen with an oven and microwave. Towels and bed linen are offered in the homestay. For added privacy, the accommodation features a private entrance.

The hosts (the owner and his daughter) were very friendly and helpful. The room was exquisite, much better-looking and more furnished than an average hotel room. There was a tiny, cute fridge with some water bottles inside and a bottle of milk even, for the coffee. Coffee making equipment was also available. Overall, this accommodation exceeded my expectations by far and I think the price could be much higher considering all the comfort. The only seeming disadvantage might be a shared bathroom but with such friendly and nice hosts it was absolutely no real disadvantage at all.

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.

    Wonderfully decorated apartment in a great location. Very good host. My only gripe is the parking,but a nice lady in a local shop told me I could park for free around the corner. Got a space after a few drives around the block. Aside from that perfect and highly recommended.

    We really enjoyed our stay at Seawinds, everything was perfect. It's in a great location, just a short walk from Ventnor, and minutes away from Steep hill cove. Darren is a great guy, and a lovely host. The accommodation is well equipped to a high standard, and has everything you might need. As others have said, lovely to have a welcome pack of bread, butter, serial, milk, tea, coffee, and fruit... Seawinds is a cosy retreat, and a perfect base for exploring the island. We will be back next year, thank you Darren.
