The 2-star smoke-free Harrow Lodge Hotel Shanklin is approximately 5 minutes' walk from the Small Hope Beach and entices guests with a shared lounge, various recreational opportunities, and a TV lounge. Located in proximity to Rylstone Gardens, this Shanklin hotel features luggage storage.

Location

The hotel has a prime setting 4.3 km from the medium-sized Amazon World Zoo Park, while natural sights like the Ventnor Park and Putting Green are 4.9 km away. At the Harrow Lodge Shanklin you'll be about 5 minutes' drive from Hope Beach.

Guests might as well visit Tower Cottage Gardens, which is a mere 400 metres away. One of the most important attractions in Shanklin is the wooded coastal Shanklin Chine Ravine, located within easy reach of the property.

Harrow Lodge Hotel is merely a 5-minute stroll from Hambledon Hotel bus stop and around 15 minutes on foot from Shanklin train station in Shanklin.

Rooms at the hotel feature a colourful decor. There is also an en suite bathroom.

Eat & Drink

Offering British dishes, the à la carte restaurant features ocean views. Guests can enjoy the lounge bar on premises. It also features a lounge for guests' comfort. The accommodation is right around the corner from The Waterfront Inn, serving British cuisine.

“What this hotel lacks in modernity, it more than makes up for with its stellar location near Shanklin beach and exceptionally friendly staff. Breakfast is satisfying, and while rooms can be on the smaller side, they are clean and well-equipped; plus, many offer delightful views. For travelers seeking a welcoming and convenient base in Shanklin, it's a solid choice.”

A pleasant seaside stay!

superb breakfast friendly staff
I enjoyed a superb breakfast, it had a good variety. The location was also great, near many attractions. I found the staff very friendly and nothing seemed too much trouble for them. The room was very clean also.
The room was too hot during the night. I found it very difficult to sleep. The kitchen extractor fan made a lot of noise at 7.15 am. A smell of grease came up into the open window.

The hotel provides ample free parking, very convenient. There is also a lift close to the hotel giving easy access down to the seafront. A bar offers a wide range of drinks at reasonable prices.
