Established and award-winning guest house with eight letting rooms, located in a peaceful and convenient part of Shanklin just a short walk from the beach, cliff path and town centre. Includes private owner’s accommodation, off-road parking and potential to add more guest rooms.
The Swiss Cottage is a well-presented, long-established guest house set in an attractive Victorian property dating from 1866. The building features painted elevations under a slate roof, with tasteful interiors throughout. Currently operating on a seasonal bed and breakfast basis, the business is popular with both returning and new guests.
Situated in a quiet road just 300 yards from both the town centre and cliff path, the guest house is ideally positioned for visitors arriving with or without a vehicle. Shanklin’s Old Village, sandy beaches and tourist attractions are also within walking distance. The property offers off-road parking for six vehicles, a decked seating area for guests and a small rear garden.
There are eight letting rooms, most with en-suite facilities, along with a guest bar lounge, dining room, and a guest dry lounge. The current owner’s accommodation is located on the ground floor and includes private living areas, a bedroom, bathroom, kitchen and additional storage. Part of this accommodation could be converted to create up to two additional letting rooms if desired.
The business currently trades from April to October and benefits from strong online reviews and awards. It holds a Visit England 4-star rating for guest accommodation, a Silver Breakfast Award, and was named in TripAdvisor’s 2018 Traveller’s Choice Awards, ranking 21st in the UK.
This guest house offers an excellent opportunity for a new owner to continue and potentially expand a respected and profitable hospitality business in one of the Isle of Wight’s most visited coastal towns.
