About The Old Thatch Teashop

Anyone for a tea party? Why not try the Old Thatch Teashop in Shanklin, Isle of Wight. Built in 1690, this grade 2 listed cottage hosts an unforgettable and mystical experience of tea-drinking and leisure.

Indulge in a traditional clotted cream tea, tasty sandwiches and scrumptious homemade cakes. You can sit in the quaint and colourful tea rooms or go outside and sit at the centre of its luscious flower-filled fairy garden. Suitable for all ages, the Old Thatch Teashop invites you to embrace its beautiful, quintessential countryside and rich history, one sip at a time.

Resting on the grounds of an ancient tunnel, the Old Thatch Teashop encapsulates the world of wonder from Shanklin’s vibrant historical tales of smugglers, fisherman and fairies - not to mention the recent ghost sightings of a ‘beautiful lady’. Filled with wonder and opportunities to explore the fairy gardens, the Old Thatch Teashop is a wondrous place for you and your family to visit.
