You are invited to encapture the charm and elegance of the Rylstone Manor Country House, set in delightful parkland gardens amidst mature trees and winding paths, which lead you to the shingle and sandy beaches via the cliff steps. The Manor was privately built in 1863 and remained a gentlemen's residence until 1923. It is of Victorian proportions but with the influence of Gothic, Tudor and Georgian periods. These styles blend into one, making the Manor unique, not only in its exterior, but also within.
The picturesque old thatched village of Shanklin maybe reached through the gardens and boasts an abundance of gift and tea shops. Activities nearby include Riding, Golf, Fishing, Tennis, and Bowls and details are available at the reception desk. The Rylstone Manor's fine cuisine is served in the intimate atmosphere of the candlelit dining room, where a variable choice is changed daily and prepared by the resident owner chefs. There is also a comprehensive wine list offering wines from the island to Australia. A small but attractive bar lounge is adjacent for aperatifs or an after dinner brandy. Let the magic of the Island, and the peace and tranquillity of Rylstone entwine into one, making a visit you will always remember.
