Shanklin, Isle of Wight – Family-owned Luccombe Hotels and Shanklin Villa have proudly claimed three major accolades in the Red Funnel Isle of Wight Awards, affirming their commitment to delivering exceptional guest experiences. Luccombe Hall Hotel was awarded the prestigious Gold for Best Hotel Experience for the third consecutive year, while sister hotel Luccombe Manor earned the Silver Award for Best Place for Dogs, and Shanklin Villa received the Gold Award for Best Apartment/Cottage on the Isle of Wight.

“We are absolutely thrilled with this recognition,” says Steve Wells, Director of Luccombe Hotels.

bottom of our hearts to everyone who voted for us.”

Creating Exceptional Experiences for Guests and Pets Alike

With a strong commitment to reinvesting in facilities and the dedication of their 45-member team, Luccombe Hotels and Shanklin Villa continually enhance their offerings. This year, Luccombe Hall introduced a retro 80s gaming arcade and a lending shed stocked with crabbing kits, windbreaks, rounders sets, and more, providing guests with nostalgic and fun options for all ages.

The iconic cliff-top Luccombe Hall Hotel has also expanded its sea-facing rooms to include either large, spacious balconies or private gardens with hot tubs, offering guests spectacular views and a serene setting. Additionally, the hotel boasts a tropical-themed indoor pool, a modernised outdoor pool with a child-friendly area, and refreshed garden spaces, allowing guests to unwind on-site or explore the Isle of Wight’s attractions at their leisure.

Luccombe Manor has gone all out to be a dog-friendly haven. The hotel now provides thoughtful amenities, including dog beds, blankets, outdoor thermostatically controlled showers, towels for muddy paws, a food storage and prep room, a doggie shop, goody bags, and even a doggie afternoon tea, creating an unparalleled experience for pets.

At Shanklin Villa, a complete refurbishment has transformed each apartment into a unique retreat, combining comfort and character for holidaymakers seeking an authentic Island stay.

A Commitment to Sustainability and Community Engagement

Luccombe Hotels is on track to achieve carbon neutrality by mid-2025. The company has transitioned to electric vehicles, sustainable energy sources, and offers free EV charging points, bicycle rentals, and rover bus tickets for guests, encouraging eco-friendly exploration of the island.

In addition to hosting holidaymakers, Luccombe Hotels has become a cherished part of the local community, offering seasonal leisure passes, luxury getaway packages for residents, and special events such as summer garden parties, Fawlty Towers dining experiences, and Spirit of Christmas festivities.
