The Swiss Cottage guest house is a old Victorian building built in 1866 and is on a quiet street with its own limited off street parking in the heart of Shanklin, close to all the local amenities and is a short flat stroll away from our glorious Beach & Esplanade.

We have links to sites like Expedia, Hotels.com, Booking.com, Trivago, TripAdvisor & Red Funnel Holidays and our own Visit Isle of Wight Tourism site but we prefer you to book directly with us, as not only are our prices cheaper but we firmly still believe in speaking to all our guests and giving them that personal touch right from the off
