“Beautiful old house”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 February 2012

The minute you walk through the door you are met with a sumptious, welcoming red carpet and very friendly staff. The public rooms are sympathetically decorated, retaining all the lovely features of a bygone age.
We booked by a Travelzoo deal, which was excellent value including the ferry, and had a standard room in the 'newer' wing that was clean, & well furnished & equipped with comfortable beds; although the walls were thin & the single glazed windows ran with condensation in the very cold weather. The extra night added on was also reasonably priced.
Breakfasts were excellent, but the included evening meal on the first night was not so good. The staff both front of house & in the restaurant are excellent and so obliging.
There is no lift and being an old property, there are many steps - small cases or bags are advised. It is very dog-friendly, and includes doggy treats in the lounge, along with the human biscuits!
Definitely worth a try!

Room Tip: Ask for a room in the old part of the hotel

“Wonderful weekend getaway”

We decided to take advantage of the unusually warm weather in January and spent the weekend in this lovely hotel. It is is a great location for accessing the beach and Shanklin; the food is outstanding and the jacuzzi overlooking the ocean was an unexpected bonus. The large conservatory is fabulous and the staff were great

“Great value for money with a dog friendly policy all within a few steps of the beach.”

Deirdre, Boudi ( the dog ) and I had a great weekend on the island. The hotel was as expected with very friendly staff and spacious receptions areas. Our bedroom was small but clean and more than adequate for two nights? Boudi loved it with great walks on our doorstep! 139 steps down to the beach but worth every step? Glorious sandy beaches and just about enough open to have a choice. The food was pretty good and we certainly go back. It was all about the dog and she had a great time ( as did we )

“A lovely small hotel”

Just spent a great couple of days at Luccombe Manor with our golden retreiver. Great hotel, wonderful staff. Use of facilities, pool, etc. at sister hotel, Luccombe Hall, just around the corner. We all felt so welcome. Nothing too much trouble for the people working there. Excellent quiz night on a Tuesday at the Crab pub (dogs welcome) a short walk from the hotel.

“Wonderful Break”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 January 2012

We went away for my family's annual 'get together'. Six adults and a teenager! Not having seen each other for 12 months we were somewhat noisy when we met up and continued to be so all through the three days we stayed here. I gave my brother an Elvis Suit as a Christmas present and he wore it(and sang) all day, we played a loud version of charades, which other guests joined in with.....all this and more was not only accepted but positively encouraged! We were made to feel so very welcome, so comfortable and NOTHING was too much trouble. The rooms were clean, warm and comfortable, the public areas welcoming, warm and comfy, the food GREAT, plentiful and a wide variety. The staff, fantastic. Complimentary tea, coffee and biccies all day- even dog treats if your four legged friend joins you. It is right next to the coastal path, a short walk from the village and an easy drive to the rest of the island.What more could we want?Needless to say, when we next reurn to the IOW we will have no hesitation in returning.
