Welcome to Martlets, a small and friendly adults-only Bed and Breakfast, set in a beautiful countryside setting on the Isle of Wight. Many of our guests arrive as guests and leave as friends. Martlets was recently built by your host, Jill, as her private home, and she now extends a warm and friendly welcome to guests to stay in her two comfortable and stylish ensuite rooms. With a relaxed atmosphere, personal attention, and Shanklin Old Village and the seafront just a short walk away, Martlets is a wonderful base from which to explore the Isle of Wight.

We very much look forward to sharing our home with you, and helping you to get the most out of your time on the Isle of Wight. Along with detailed knowledge on the attractions and activities on the Island, we will also recommend places to eat depending upon your tastes, and itinerary. Although we don't take dogs at Martlets, we do have the company of Jonty & Jess who will give you a warm welcome. Jonty is a Westie and Jess is a Westie/Poodle cross. They are excluded from the dining area during breakfast, and don't typically have access to guest areas.

Shanklin is one of the Isle of Wight’s most loved seaside towns – a place where traditional coastal charm meets a relaxed, easy pace of life. With its sandy beach, picturesque Old Village and plenty to explore, it’s the perfect setting for a memorable stay. Just a short stroll away, Shanklin Beach stretches along the bay, with golden sands and a lively seafront. Whether it’s a morning walk by the water or an afternoon spent soaking up the sunshine, it’s easy to see why it’s such a favourite! Wander just down the hill from Martlets and you’ll find Shanklin Old Village, full of thatched cottages, independent tea rooms and gift shops. It’s a lovely spot to explore at any time of day, especially in the evening when everything feels a little more magical. For something different in the evening, Shanklin Theatre offers a varied programme of shows throughout the year, while the nearby Shanklin Chine provides a beautiful walk through a leafy gorge with waterfalls and views across the coast.
