The 29-room Luccombe Hall Hotel is a mid-range, family-run property set on a cliff top overlooking the beautiful Sandown Bay in the southeast of the Isle of Wight. The hotel offers superb views and the charming resort of Shanklin is a short stroll away. There is direct footpath access to the beach -- though beware of the 155 steps back up. Spa and leisure amenities are plentiful for this type of hotel (there is an indoor pool and game room for the kids) and gardens are lush and well-maintained. Rooms are homey but, like other parts of the hotel, can feel a little dated -- especially the bathrooms. Overall, however, you'd be hard-pressed to find better views and more impressive facilities at these rates.
