I have just returned from long weekend stay at Hambrough hotel. From the outside, the Hambrough didn't look too impressive. In fact, it appeared slightly average looking, blending into surrounding buildings. The room was very clean and crisp. View from balcony is truly magnificent (if you can ignore derelict and boarded building below) Room was equipped with everything you would... More

Just returned from weekend anniversary stay ..... Blessed with the weather..stayed in room 1, with fab views of the sea to wake up to. Had dinner on the Saturday night and was lovely. Everything is freshly prepared also good breakfasts.. The staff are friendly and very helpful also. Just feel a little more attention to detail is needed for the... More

The best thing about the hotel is that it is home to a good restaurant, but both are being taken over at the end of April. Our room was large and in need of some TLC, and a long list of items and facilities to be put in order awaits the new man. Another problem is the lack of parking... More

I have been to the Hambrough on a few occasions since its early days of opening. Unfortunately, the most recent visit in April 2013 was such a disappointment. The main courses were very poor with oily, cold vegetables and nowhere near the quality of what we had had on previous occasions. The attention to detail was missing and certainly not... More

To be honest Ventnor wasn't quite what I had expected, but we found the hotel no problem and enthusiastically decamped. We were greeted by a team of cleaners, all beavering away, rather than ignore us, they welcomed us and went to fetch someone from the office for check-in. Still polishing away, we were checked in by a thoroughly lovely lady... More

I was a little disappointed arriving at the hotel because of the location - tired seaside resort. First impressions were also not so good because the steps leading into the hotel looked as if they had not recently been swept/cleaned, not what I had expected from a restaurant with a Michelin star. We arrived on a day when the restaurant... More

Our 45th wedding anniversary and my 67th birthday. Always looking for something special and being a fan of Masterchef I decided the Hambrough with Michelin Star etc could be the place. I was not wrong. The room(4) had a great view and facilities. Staff were fantastic. Then there was the food. The food on Masterchef was brought alive. I am... More

We have had several lovely meals in the restaurant at The Hambrough, and afternoon tea was just as fabulous. We were The Hambrough's first customers for afternoon tea; a joint celebration of Mother's Day and our daughter's 18th birthday. The selection of open sandwiches was beautiful both to look at and to eat, the pastries and macaroons were heavenly and... More

We stayed for a 2 night minibreak recently at The Hambrough and had a fantastic time. The hotel is beautiful, the staff are fantastic and the food sublime. It's a top class boutique hotel, but with a slightly more relaxed feel than others (never the feeling of aloofness). The cooked breakfast was truly delicious (with a few sublime quirks marking... More
