Quaint Isle of Wight guesthouse by the sea

The Fig Tree Hotel, Shanklin

Time-limited

Property details

A cosy, seaside hotel on a scenic strip of Isle of Wight coast, blending classic English style with contemporary comfort - includes breakfast and welcome drink
  • Seaside bliss: Tucked just inland from the Isle of Wight’s golden shores and opposite an old parish church, The Fig Tree Hotel is a calm and cosy spot for your seaside getaway, worlds away from the city hustle. Its deep blue décor, tufted leather booths and sea-inspired, framed prints create a relaxing, boutique feel – a comfortable and welcoming embrace after a day wandering the clifftops or picnicking on the beach.

  • Boutique bedrooms: As a small hotel with just over 20 guestrooms and suites, each one has its own special feel. Plush beds are framed by padded headboards and uniquely patterned wallpaper, all tied together with a palette of silver, blue and natural wood. Crack open the window and inhale the fresh sea air as you savour a tea or coffee from the comfort of your room.

  • Wine and dine: Begin your day with a sumptuous full English breakfast in the dining area, where classical elegance blends with a modern touch, or enjoy cake and coffee on the sunny terrace. The snug bar with mood lighting and comfy seating is the perfect spot to unwind with your evening wine or cocktail, in a warm and stylish atmosphere.

How to get there

Take a short ferry from Portsmouth to the island’s Fishbourne car ferry port. Once there, you'll find good transport links to your hotel if you're on foot, or it's an easy 25-minute drive. From Southampton to West or East Cowes ferry terminal, it’s a slightly longer ferry with onward public transport routes to your hotel, or a drive of about 30 minutes.  

Entry requirements


The passport, visa and health requirements at the time of booking can be viewed on the Foreign and Commonwealth Office website for UK citizens, and on the Department of Foreign Affairs website for IE citizens. It is your responsibility to ensure that you and all members of your party are in possession of all necessary travel and health documents, and in compliance with any other immigration/entry requirements before you travel, including whether your passport must be machine readable or which visas/waivers may be required for entry, such as ESTA for USA travel and/or ETIAS for EU travel. Please also be sure to check the validity of your passport and allow up to 10 weeks for passport renewals.
