Daish's Hotel
Daish's Hotel was originally built in the late 18th Century as the coaching inn for Shanklin. It was developed during the 19th Century to produce the elegant Victorian hotel that now stands in its own grounds at the head of Shanklin’s picturesque "Old Village".
All 61 bedrooms are stylishly decorated and comfortably appointed with en-suite bathroom, tea & coffee making facilities, clock radio and TV. The hotel has a small heated indoor pool.
The entertainment programme at Daish's Hotel takes place in our well-known Tally Ho Bar, with some of the best acts on the Isle of Wight. We also have a lounge bar where you can enjoy a relaxed, quiet drink, a beer garden and a coffee bar that opens onto the lawns
with locals.
New!! Shanklin "Premium Rooms"
As Daish’s regulars will know, there are a number of rooms in the older part of the hotel that are much larger than the standard rooms, and generally have great views across the gardens. These rooms are always in great demand, and can now be booked on request for most 2011 dates, for a supplement of just 10% on the brochure price.

SHANKLIN
Isle of Wight
The Isle of Wight is one of England’s most popular holiday destinations, an island with timeless, tranquil air, fascinating history and magnificent scenery. Shanklin, is of the most picturesque towns on the Island, long, narrow town situated on a cliff top above an attractive promenade and
sandy beach. The Old Town (where our hotel is situated) is characterised by its pretty thatched cottages, pubs and tearooms. The beach is easy to get to, and can be accessed via the famous cliff lift. Nearby is the woody ravine of
Shanklin Chine, known for its wild flowers and waterfalls. The island’s many famous sights (Needles, Osborne House, Godshill Village etc) and attractions are just a short drive – or walk – away from Shanklin.
Getting to the Island
Your holiday starts with a trip across the Solent, either from
Portsmouth or Southampton, on a modern, comfortable ferry with bar and restaurant facilities. The journey takes
about 40 minutes. The ferry crossing by coach is included in the cost of your Daish’s holiday. We can also book a return car ferry - prices vary according to season, day and time of crossing, so call us for prices.
