Unchanged by time, Bonchurch
is situated half a mile from Ventnor and three miles from Shanklin.
Famous for its past literary residents, Dickens, Swinburne and Shaw,
it also has the famous landslip walk starting in the village - and
not forgetting the famous pond, a place to watch the ducks and fish
lead their uncomplicated lives to the amusement of the visitors
and holidaymakers alike.

Modern day Bonchurch has a
pub, a blacksmith and a small working repair garage. We also have
an 'old' red telephone box in the village.
We have two churches, one of which is reputedly the smallest 11th
century Norman church in the country.

Our quiet beach, 400 yards
from the hotel, has no amusement arcades, burger bars or hotdog
stands.
You can usually get a cup of Tea and an Ice Cream, and together
with a sand and shingle beach,
you get a real bit of old fashioned England.
