The best thing about the hotel is that it is home to a good restaurant, but both are being taken over at the end of April. Our room was large and in need of some TLC, and a long list of items and facilities to be put in order awaits the new man. Another problem is the lack of parking... More

I have been to the Hambrough on a few occasions since its early days of opening. Unfortunately, the most recent visit in April 2013 was such a disappointment. The main courses were very poor with oily, cold vegetables and nowhere near the quality of what we had had on previous occasions. The attention to detail was missing and certainly not... More

To be honest Ventnor wasn't quite what I had expected, but we found the hotel no problem and enthusiastically decamped. We were greeted by a team of cleaners, all beavering away, rather than ignore us, they welcomed us and went to fetch someone from the office for check-in. Still polishing away, we were checked in by a thoroughly lovely lady... More

I was a little disappointed arriving at the hotel because of the location - tired seaside resort. First impressions were also not so good because the steps leading into the hotel looked as if they had not recently been swept/cleaned, not what I had expected from a restaurant with a Michelin star. We arrived on a day when the restaurant... More

Our 45th wedding anniversary and my 67th birthday. Always looking for something special and being a fan of Masterchef I decided the Hambrough with Michelin Star etc could be the place. I was not wrong. The room(4) had a great view and facilities. Staff were fantastic. Then there was the food. The food on Masterchef was brought alive. I am... More

We have had several lovely meals in the restaurant at The Hambrough, and afternoon tea was just as fabulous. We were The Hambrough's first customers for afternoon tea; a joint celebration of Mother's Day and our daughter's 18th birthday. The selection of open sandwiches was beautiful both to look at and to eat, the pastries and macaroons were heavenly and... More

We stayed for a 2 night minibreak recently at The Hambrough and had a fantastic time. The hotel is beautiful, the staff are fantastic and the food sublime. It's a top class boutique hotel, but with a slightly more relaxed feel than others (never the feeling of aloofness). The cooked breakfast was truly delicious (with a few sublime quirks marking...

The hotel itself was really nice. Room 1 had the most awesome sea views as well as being nicely furnished. The bathroom was superb with both a shower cubicle and very large deep bath. Breakfasts were very high quality with great food. Staff and management were both friendly and helpful. The only problem we did have was parking on the... More

We stayed here for a night just before Christmas as a festive treat to ourselves and what a treat it was. We were greeted warmly on arrival and shown to our lovely room. We had a studio room overlooking the sea, which was very tastefully furnished and had some lovely Christmas decorations in that were a nice touch. The bathroom... More
