Shanklin's Auckland House Hotel Goes On The Market

The Auckland House Hotel in Shanklin has gone on the market for just shy of £1 million.

The hotel, on Queens Road, is being marketed by leisure property specialists, Fleurets.

The hotel was owned by the Carlauren Group - which collapsed last year - leaving a number of staff redundant. In April 2021, the freeholds to seven properties, including the two Isle of Wight hotels, were passed to Phoenix Commercial Property Development Limited.

Purpose built in the 1970s, the hotel’s letting accommodation (26 rooms) is arranged across two floors, with the majority of the front facing rooms having balconies.

The property also includes a bar with 40 covers, an adjoining games room, restaurant, kitchen and ancillary area as well as private accommodation.

In addition, there is also sufficient parking for numerous cars and an allocated coach parking spot.

Fleurets said the hotel has benefited from an extensive refurbishment, though some minor works would need to be undertaken.

A spokesperson for the owners said:

"The Auckland is one of the highest, if not the highest, standard hotels on the Isle of Wight; having benefited from around £1m of refurbishment works by the previous owners.

"We wish to see this prime tourism asset back in use, supporting the resurgence of Shanklin's tourism economy as the whole island recovers from the impact of COVID."

The hotel is listed for sale with a guide price of £900,000.
