Family bedrooms designed for real family stays
Family bedrooms at Luccombe Hall are designed to feel like part of the holiday – not just somewhere to sleep at the end of the day.
Across our family rooms, children love the built-in bunk beds in some of our balcony rooms and garden rooms, thoughtfully designed like cosy dens of their own, complete with individual reading lights. It gives them a space to retreat to, read, or settle down – while parents enjoy a little breathing room at the end of the day.
Classic Family Rooms
Our Classic Family Rooms offer practical, flexible layouts, including rooms with bunk beds, and one larger room with a triple bunk and additional guest bed, sleeping up to six. These rooms are ideal for families who want to stay together in one space, with layouts that work naturally for evenings and early nights.
Superior Sea-Facing Balcony Rooms
Our Superior Sea-Facing Balcony Rooms add a sense of space and light that families love. Some include built-in bunk beds, while others feature a single bed – all opening onto spacious balconies with seating for four, making them a natural extension of the room. With full-height tri-fold doors, families can wake up to the sunrise over the sea, enjoy breakfast outside, and fall asleep to the sound of the waves below.
Garden Rooms with Private Hot Tubs
Our Garden Rooms are a favourite with families who enjoy a little extra freedom. Featuring built-in bunk beds and opening through tri-fold doors onto a secure, private garden, these rooms give children space to play while parents relax nearby. With outdoor seating, a private hot tub, and lockable access leading towards the pool area, the garden becomes an easy, safe extension of family life – from relaxed mornings to peaceful evenings.
Across all family rooms, you’ll find high-speed Wi-Fi, smart TVs with Netflix access (simply log into your own account), and fridges for keeping drinks and small treats cool – making downtime feel effortless.
It’s about giving families space to be together – and room to relax – in ways that feel natural, easy and genuinely enjoyable.

Family time at Luccombe Hall is about having choices – without feeling you need to fill every moment.

Children naturally gravitate towards the outdoor play areas and garden games, while others enjoy quieter moments watching the sea or heading down towards the beach below.
Indoors, there’s just as much flexibility. The games room offers pool, air hockey and table tennis, alongside our free-to-play Back to the 80s Retro Gaming Experience, while younger children have their own dedicated play space. And when it’s time to slow things down, the indoor Tropical Pool Experience, hot tubs and sauna provide a warm, relaxing end to the day.
Everything is included, everything is close at hand – and families are free to enjoy it all at their own pace.
Please note that the pool table and air hockey table operate on a pay-to-play basis; all other leisure facilities are included.
