Queens Road, Shanklin, Isle of Wight

Introducing this impressive guesthouse, ideally situated in the hugely popular tourist destination of Shanklin, just 400 metres from Hope beach, a golden sandy beach that's known for its traditional holiday entertainments and a variety of bars and restaurants overlooking the sea. Despite being built in the early 1800's, the grey, ashlar construction and unique design features give this property a medieval air to it. There are seven guestrooms, all of which boast ensuite facilities and soundproofed walls – a major advantage for any holiday accommodation. There's a further ensuite bedroom that's currently occupied by the owner which would easily work as an eighth guest bedroom. Additionally, there's the owner's accommodation consisting of an integrated, three bedroom annexe with its own external entrance and a kitchen and living area which, if it wasn't required by the owner, would be ideal for families wishing to stay together for a self-catering holiday. Extremely rare for this area, it comes with a dedicated car park on site affording guests the convenience and advantage of free parking for the duration of their stay. Outside at the rear is a delightful garden, mostly laid to lawn with several seating areas, which is very popular amongst guests, as well as a pretty conservatory offering a quiet place to relax and enjoy the garden all year round. The gorgeous, stone built, gable roof porch makes for an impressive entrance, immediately followed by the lovely lounge, with its stunning feature fireplace with wood burning stove and its full height, bay windows. The spacious dining room, with its lovely, exposed brick chimney and dual aspect windows is a delightful setting for guests to start their day in. Just across the hallway is a catering grade kitchen, more than capable of creating at least thirteen covers in high season. There are three guestrooms on the ground floor and five on the first floor, each with ensuite shower rooms and all tastefully designed in neutral tones. The self-contained annexe is situated towards the rear of the property and is arranged over two floors. It has its own entrance and hallway leading to an open plan kitchen living room. The modern fitted kitchen includes all the necessary accoutrements, including electric oven with integrated hob and dishwasher. To the first floor are three good sized bedrooms and a contemporary shower room.

What the Owner says:

We have owned this business since 2016 and over the years have seen it thrive, consistently scoring very highly across multiple travel review websites and seeing returning guests year upon year.

Shanklin is a huge draw for tourists with its golden beaches, the scenic Red Squirrel coastal path, Rylstone Gardens, the beautiful natural landmark Shanklin Chine and the picturesque Shanklin Old Village. The guesthouse is also favoured by locals, who visit Shanklin for the theatre or live music and decide to make a weekend of it.

This remarkable property is already an incredibly successful business and offers enormous flexibility to maintain, adapt or grow into whatever new owner's desire.
