A relaxed clifftop autumn escape for families
October half term at Luccombe Manor is about slowing down, breathing in the sea air and enjoying the island as autumn settles in.
Perched on the same beautiful clifftop as its sister hotel, Luccombe Manor offers families a warm and welcoming base – somewhere calm enough to relax after a day exploring beaches, coastal paths and island attractions.
Many families love the Manor during half term because it feels slightly quieter during the school holidays, making it especially well suited to grandparents travelling with grandchildren or families who enjoy a gentler pace.
With our Stay in one. Play in both. approach, families staying at Luccombe Manor enjoy full access to leisure facilities at neighbouring Luccombe Hall – including the indoor Tropical Pool Experience, hot tubs, games and gardens – while returning to the Manor’s relaxed country house atmosphere each evening.
As part of Luccombe Hotels – The Clifftop Collection, Luccombe Manor shares one extraordinary setting – sea views, coastal walks and a welcome that makes family breaks feel easy from the start.
