Family-run Victorian country hotel with sea views over Sandown and Shanklin Bay
Accommodations
Bourne Hall Country Hotel occupies a Victorian building built in the 1860s, originally a residence for a lady-in-waiting to Queen Victoria. The 31 rooms and suites include options with four-poster beds and en-suite bathrooms, some offering countryside or sea views. Each room has a Freeview TV and tea/coffee making facilities, and family rooms are available with linked bedrooms.
Dining
The on-site restaurant serves seasonal menus using locally sourced island produce, with options for vegan and gluten-free diets available upon request. The cafe bar offers homemade scones for afternoon tea as well as casual family meals, including a full English breakfast and continental options. Guests can also order wine or champagne from the bar, and special diet menus are provided for children.
Weddings & Events
Couples can book customizable wedding services at Bourne Hall, with outdoor ceremonies that take advantage of scenic sea views over Sandown Bay. A dedicated event team handles planning for private functions, including corporate meetings and wedding receptions. The hotel's flexible catering options accommodate various dietary needs, and the large guest lounge and bar provide space for celebrations.
Leisure
A large seasonal outdoor swimming pool is open from May to September, set within mature gardens with sun loungers and umbrellas. The pool area includes sun loungers and beach chairs, and guests can use picnic areas and the sun terrace. The hotel also has a golf course on site, and the gardens offer views across Luccombe Downs toward the sea.
Points of Interest
Shanklin Beach is within a short walk from the hotel, while Ventnor Park and The Isle of Wight Donkey Sanctuary are nearby attractions. The hotel is in an elevated position on the edge of Luccombe Downs, providing a quiet location away from the town centre.
