The Hotel Inspector · S17 E2
Gracellie Hotel
Shanklin, Isle of Wight
Open. The rescue stuck and it continues to operate.
The short answer
B&B, active listings across multiple booking platforms including recent Facebook activity.
What happened on the show
The series 17 record on the Gracellie is a brief one, noting Alex Polizzi's trip to Shanklin, the well-known resort town on the Isle of Wight. The property is a bed and breakfast on Hope Road in the resort, one more small seaside operation of the kind the show returned to throughout its run. Because the episode summary preserves little beyond the destination, the honest frame is verifiable rather than reconstructed: a struggling Shanklin bed and breakfast that sought the inspector's help during her seventeenth series in 2022. The specific faults Polizzi diagnosed and the changes she ordered are not documented fully enough to assert, so the fairer measure lies in where the property later stood. The Shanklin B&B aired in June 2022, and it continues to trade despite a single anomalous listing that briefly muddied its name in search.
After the cameras left
The Gracellie is still trading, a bed and breakfast on Hope Road in Shanklin on the Isle of Wight, appearing across multiple booking platforms with recent Facebook activity and a mid-table bed-and-breakfast ranking on TripAdvisor as of 2026. A single anomalous listing under a Sunrise Hotel variant name surfaced on one platform but was not corroborated elsewhere and is treated as an aggregator artifact rather than a rename, which holds the open status at medium confidence. The seaside property Polizzi visited appears to have kept going as a going concern in the Isle of Wight resort.
