3 stars only for the view the executive room has to offer. For the price of the executive room - there were no toileteries, the shower was very small. The food is a definite no..no.. as we had concerns about their kitchen hygiene.

Fabulous hotel , stayed here for 2 nights , very good breakfast , fabulous evening meal . Hotel looks a bit tired in places but the friendly staff and great service makes up for this . We had live entertainment tonight which was very good . Our bikes were stored in a secure shed which was great when not in use . Short walk to old town shanklin with other dining options , Definitely recommend if you are looking for a good base in the isle of white .

Booked this hotel as the reviews were very good. Make sure that you check you have arrived at the right hotel as there is a Luccombe Hall and a Luccombe Manor which are within two minutes of each other. Received a warm welcome, room was ready early which was a pleasant surprise. If you can afford it, book the garden room with view and hot-tub, lovely and spacious, clean, good sized bathroom with power shower, fridge in room. Knew we made a good choice when we opened the sliding bi-fold doors to see the view. It was a nice treat to come back after a day out, relax in the hot tub or even go for a

A great location with our balcony rooms which were modern and clean. They overlook the lovely gardens, the outside pool then out to sea. However the bar and breakfast room are tired and need updating. Staff were all so very helpful always- nothing was ever a problem. Special thanks to Cathy, Lee, Mike and Jack as well as the guitarist who sung our requests!
