The Palmerston is located in an ideal position in Shanklin, just a few minutes walk from the town centre, the Old Village, beach and Esplanade, and therefore ideally situated for families - which we encourage.

A family owned and run guest house, we offer a friendly and attentive service.

We have gained an excellent reputation for good quality food, with hearty breakfasts to get you going - and late suppers at flexible hours to accommodate your nutritional needs.

At the end of the day enjoy a relaxing drink in "Trophy's Bar" or play pool in the Games Room

The Palmerston has a mix of bedrooms, including single - double - twin - family, all with en-suite bathrooms or showers, tea and coffee making facilities. We can therefore cater for the majority of requests.

Beautiful gardens with ample car and coach parking facilities.

24 Island cricket clubs, are affiliated to the IWCB, and there are 12 non-affiliated teams - in total more clubs per square mile than anywhere in mainland England, making the locality an ideal mecca for touring teams. In 2003 one hundred and twenty teams toured the Island, from as far afield as South Africa and Australia.
