Book 'Fernbank' Online - Indicative Availability for Tomorrow Night

A quiet Bed & Breakfast retreat close to the sea.

TYPE: GUEST ACCOMMODATION

Situated in a magical elevated position just above the thatched roofs of the picturesque famous old village of Shanklin. The Fernbank nestles at the foot of St Martins Down, surrounded by old stone walls and Victorian villas, overlooking its own subtropical gardens with a superb heated indoor pool and private suntrap garden. All just a stones throw from the beach and the main eateries, Shanklin Old Village has to offer one of the most beautiful locations on the Isle of Wight.

The Fernbank is an intimate bed and breakfast retreat complimented by an all day light bite menu and superbly stocked bar. We endeavour to offer the finest service value and standards to our guests within a quiet location. Breakfast is an occasion, served in our garden room, with only the finest and freshest local produce on offer.

The Fernbank has been extensively refurbished in Spring 2010 and now offers classic country house style accommodation in which to relax and unwind and discover the beautiful Isle of Wight. Whether it is a short break or a holiday make the Fernbank your second home. We offer ample off-road parking on the premises.
