Knights Rest – A Favorite for Families in Shanklin

Knights Rest occupies a building nearly 200 years old that has been sympathetically modernised while preserving its classic character. The property offers garden views and a quiet street setting just a 2-minute walk from Shanklin's beaches and town centre. Guests can relax in a west-facing garden or the conservatory, both of which are available for use.

Each of the 7 rooms comes with an en-suite bathroom, a flat-screen TV, and soundproofing for a quiet night's sleep. Common areas include a games room with board games and puzzles, a lounge with a shared TV, and a picnic area with outdoor furniture. Sun umbrellas are available for guests to use in the garden.

Shanklin Beach is a 4-minute walk from the hotel, and the cliff lift down to the esplanade is just 2 minutes away. Attractions such as the Old Village of Shanklin, Shanklin Theatre, and Dinosaur Isle are within easy walking distance. The Isle of Wight's Sunshine Trail is nearby, and the hotel provides secure bicycle storage for cycling enthusiasts.

A free English breakfast is served each morning in a cozy dining room, with a large variety of freshly prepared options and special diet menus available on request. The hosts, Vera and Martin, are car enthusiasts who welcome guests with a passion for classic cars and local knowledge. Guests consistently rate the breakfast as exceptional and the hosts as friendly and helpful.

Cycling is encouraged with secure bicycle storage and proximity to local trails. The games room offers board games and puzzles for indoor entertainment. Outdoor amenities include a garden, sun umbrellas, and a picnic area, while a shared lounge and TV area provide space to unwind.
