The Chine Inn
Where History Meets the Horizon.
A Historic Retreat on the Isle of Wight
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.”
