With a beautiful cliff top location, The Clifton boasts views of Sandown Bay from its lounge and garden. Leading onto Keats's Green, it has a bistro that uses local produce in its menu. Many bedrooms have views of the Isle of Wight’s coast, and some have a balcony. Each room features free Wi-Fi, a TV, radio, a private bathroom and free tea, coffee and hot chocolate facilities. The dining room provides home-cooked food using seasonal ingredients from the nearby farmland. Special dietary requirements can be catered for. The bar stocks beers brewed on the Isle. The garden opens onto the Coastal Walk between Shanklin and Sandown. The picturesque Shanklin Old Village is a 5 minute walk away, and Shanklin Chine and the beach are also just a short walk from the hotel.
