The Chine Inn
Where History Meets the Horizon.
A Historic Retreat on the Isle of Wight
We are delighted to welcome you to the newly reopened Chine Inn — a historic landmark overlooking the beautiful Shanklin Chine and one of the Isle of Wight’s most cherished gathering places. As the new owners, our aim is simple: to honour the rich heritage of this beloved inn while offering a warm, comfortable space for locals and visitors to enjoy. We have carefully refreshed the building, introduced honest, hearty food inspired by local produce, and created an atmosphere where everyone feels at home. Whether you’re joining us for a meal, a drink, a celebration, or simply to enjoy the view, we hope your time here is memorable and relaxing. Thank you for supporting this new chapter in the life of The Chine Inn.
Welcome and enjoy your visit.

Stay, Relax, and Explore
Perched above the dramatic Shanklin Chine, the Chine Inn is where centuries of history meet comfort, charm, and coastal beauty.
Founded in 1621, it is one of Shanklin’s oldest inns, offering a unique opportunity to stay, relax, and enjoy the same scenic views that inspired poets, artists, and holidaymakers for over 400 years.
Walking through its doors is like stepping back in time, where each beam, stone, and window tells a story of generations past.

“Everything here was great: the staff, the room layout, the property amenities with indoor pool, and the quality of the food. But the high point is the view from the mountains.”
