We had the please of visiting the IOW for a few days this month. Stayed in Shanklin and had a great evening meal at the Waterfront. The next day the three families (6 adults 7 children) decided to walk along the promonade. It started to pour and didn't look like letting up.. We took shelter in the Waterfront having remembered...

Lovely to be back at the Waterfront Inn. Lots of changes since last stay, new ladies loos, bedroom updated and food on the menu but friendliness and atmosphere the same! Highly recommend it. More

We didn't stay here but came for the food. Talk about huge portions. The food was very tasty, and the service was excellent despite it being very busy. The waiter was even considerate noting we were Muslim and pointing out the dishes that had alcohol in them. We were very impressed. More

My wife and I decided to take advantage of some free time whilst our son was off on a school trip and pay a long overdue visit back to the Isle of Wight. After some extensive research of hotels around the island we eventually settled on The Waterfront Inn at Shanklin. The Inn is well presented and fronted by some... More

The hotel is lovely and a good price and the rooms are large, clean, comfortable and airy with a good ensuite.The staff are friendly and make an effort to learn your name and your likes/dislikes.
