Luccombe Manor Country House Hotel

Lovely, peaceful hotel with excellent...

Liked: Breakfast was delicious. Everything cooked to order, nothing too much trouble. Both a decent coffee machine and decent filter coffee.Room service was unobtrusive but effective.Reception staff were friendly and helpful.

Very god hotel, friendly staff...

Liked: Very pleasant room (No. 5) with a sea view over the busy Channel (NB best experienced in the dark of night when the ships are displaying all their navigation lights!) The room included a week's pass to the "Shanklin Chine", a natural gorge which is very decorative but (even more importantly), a relatively short way down to (and up from) the esplanade, so we used it a lot. (There is also a cliff lift (£1 return) available for those not quite so happy with the five-minute climb up the steps!) ALSO included was the cost of charging our EV - not a fast charger by any means (3.5kW) but we added sufficient miles to avoid stopping off to charge again on our drive home. So these "extras" were valuable to us, and made the cost of the room feel more reasonable.
Disliked: We didn't make very much use of te restaurant, so can't comment on this. We ordered a pizza each, however, the night before departure - these are cooked next door (Luccombe Hall Hotel) and need to be picked up at a pre-arranged time. Ours came out 15 minutes late, and were very disappointing - the bases were more biscuit than pizza dough, and lacked flavour too. Avoid the pizzas, frankly.

Lovely short stay in a...

Liked: The hotel is in an ideal location, just a short walk into Shanklin Old Village, and with the most spectacular views over the bay. We moved to the hotel for one night, following a less than great experience elsewhere, and wish we'd booked it to begin with! The accommodation is clean and comfortable, the breakfast is great, and the facilities are amazing. We loved using the indoor pool at the Luccombe Hall next door, and the outdoor pool at the Manor and had we had more time, we'd have tried the giant draughts or giant chess! It was also great to get free entry to the Chine as that was quite a saving for two people. Finally, a word about the staff: they are outstanding - kind, friendly and professional, going out of their way to make guests - human or canine! - feel welcome. Extremely delighted with our short stay - we will be back for longer next year!
Disliked: Nothing. It's pricey but I understand why.

Perfect family catch up

Disliked: Long walk to Shanklin sea front now the path to the beach has gone

Superb

Wonderfully dog friendly hotel

Liked: This is possibly one of the most dog friendly hotels I've stayed at - with dogs allowed to breakfast, treated with a dog sausage, able to join you around the pool, a fenced off Agility area, a kitchen for feeding and storing dog food, a cleaning station with warm water at the front door and towels and a selection of treats and toys in the room! So thoughtful.On top of that the staff are all super friendly and attentive, couldn't do enough for us and breakfast was great.
Disliked: The only criticism is that the double bed in our room had a very sinky mattress which became a bit uncomfortable after a few nights!

Superb

Liked: Beautiful hotel in magnificent location with onsite parking. Wonderful view from the breakfast room. Very friendly and helpful staff. Short walk to Shanklin village.

Superb

Beautiful location but family room...

Liked: Excellent leisure facilities in a fabulous location with beautiful views and gardens. All the staff were very friendly, efficient and attentive.
Disliked: Our family room had a lovely view was spacious, although the bathroom really was small. Also our room was unbearably hot, two large fans were supplied in the bottom of the wardrobe but we didn’t want to listen to the noise from them all night. The room walls are paper thin, we listened to the guests in the room next door chatting and their TV late in to the evening whilst we tried to get our young children to sleep. The room floors were very, very creaky as was the bathroom door. Probably the worst nights sleep we’ve had in a long while due to the noise from the room next door and the heat in the room!
