the Highdown Inn

The Highdown Inn and B&B is a beautiful example of a traditional country pub, set in outstanding natural Isle of Wight surroundings, and complimented by a rich history across the West of the Isle of Wight.

As one of the best rated pubs on the Isle of Wight, we are well known for our charm, charisma and idyllic positioning which certainly makes your visit one to be remembered.

Socialise with the locals in our friendly bar, whilst selecting your meal from our daily blackboard specials, or take a seat in our newly refurbished restaurant. We are noted for our delicious and locally sourced seafood and shellfish, and why not compliment your meal with a wine from our extensive wine list, or perhaps a cold beer or real ale from our award winning selection.

Treat yourself to a seasonal break and enjoy your evenings in front of our roaring log fire located by the bar, or in our sumptuous newly refurbished restaurant whilst sampling the delights of our seasonal menu. This includes various seasonal 'game' specialties.

We welcome walkers, dogs, muddy boots and cyclists, so feel free to come inside or soak up the sun in our beautiful garden area, which now includes a stunning gazebo for your enjoyment!

We look forward to seeing you!
