IoW help please

GrandTea I can pop something on facebook if you like which may shed some light as to whether it still exists as a hotel.

A lot of hotels have changed their names, closed down or been taken over by chains. Some once grand establishments now only exist thanks to being tied to travel firms (coach parties)

I am from the Isle of Wight - we left in 1971 and I don't remember a Manor House Hotel in Sandown but then in my day the whole Island boasted many lovely buildings now converted into self catering holiday lets.

Indiana, no, that is too close to the sea front, it was a bit of a walk away. But thanks for suggestion.

Yes, but Google has let me down. I suspect it may have changed it's name or closed. I am just hoping that a GNer lived there in the 60's and my remember it.

We have tried to trace our steps from the station as best we remember and have email a couple of possibles.

Have a look at Luccombe Manor Country House Hotel in Shanklin. It looks as though Luccombe is a brand name for a chain of hotels, so I wonder if this used to be Manor House Hotel and was rebranded when Luccombe took it over.

Have you googled it, GrandTea? Most hotels have a website these days.
