Classic furnishings create a stylish indoor environment, while mosaic tables and comfortable seating allow for a priceless alfresco dining experience. Known as the Jewel of the Isle, Shanklin boasts a host of tropical plants, flowers and vegetation, not to mention one of
the best beaches in the United Kingdom. Charles Darwin once visited this famous town and after a stay at The Waterfront Inn (then known as Norfolk House) commented that it was one of the nicest seaside places he had ever seen – and who could argue with one of the most intelligent men in history? From humble origins to its present-day thriving reputation, The Waterfront Inn offers all the fun of the seaside in the most elegant of settings.
