Where to stay
Winchester House
YMCA Winchester House is a beautiful building with tons of history, making it the perfect base for any school or group trip. Unlike Fairthorne Manor, Winchester House offers a more tranquil visit, set on the clifftops of Shanklin, overlooking the sea.
YMCA Winchester House provides accommodation, catering, and an array of on-site games and activities, for you to enjoy before and after setting of on your day of self-led fun. You can view our brochure, to find out our favourite Isle of Wight attractions.
Accommodation
Due to the size of our property, we can take groups up to 120 people.
Across 3 Wings, Winchester House has comfortable single, twin and bunk-bedded rooms with shared bathroom facilities. Separate leader’s rooms provide privacy, some of which are en-suite. Our two larger wings have comfortable private lounges with meeting rooms, function rooms, and a chapel – all of which are available for room hire.
Catering
Our brilliant on-site catering team are here for you throughout your stay, offering full board, half board, and bed and breakfast options. Dietary requirements will be catered to.
