Award-Winning Dining Experience

The Brunswick's restaurant is led by award-winning chef Robert Green, who trained under Gordon Ramsay. The kitchen uses fresh produce from the hotel's personal chefs' garden, along with organic and local ingredients. Breakfast offers Full English, Vegan, and gluten-free options, all prepared to order.

Family rooms are spacious, with separate sleeping areas for children and private bathrooms. The hotel offers kids' meals, board games, and a dedicated children's play space. Dogs are welcome and receive a complimentary sausage at breakfast.

Eco-Friendly Practices & Practical Amenities

The Brunswick operates with paperless check-in and uses local produce to reduce its carbon footprint. An electric vehicle charging station and generous on-site parking are provided. The hotel is situated on the cliff path, a 6-minute walk from Shanklin Beach and close to the Isle of Wight Donkey Sanctuary.

Location & Nearby Attractions

Shanklin Beach is a 5-minute walk from the hotel via a cliff path. The Old Village and Shanklin Chine are within a 10-minute stroll. Dinosaur Isle and Blackgang Chine are a short drive away, making the hotel a convenient base for exploring the Isle of Wight.

Family: Spacious family rooms, kids' meals, games room

Eco: Paperless check-in, EV charging station

Pet: Dog-friendly with breakfast treat

“This Shanklin hotel, a short walk from the beach, has undergone worthwhile modernization. I noted the staff's attentiveness, a mix of seasoned pros and newcomers all contributing to a caring atmosphere, and the cooked-to-order breakfast. Despite some ground-floor rooms experiencing creaky floorboards, the overall experience gives the impression of a property pushing beyond its three-star classification.”
