Unidentified country house

It looks a lot like West Cliff Hotel, Hythe.  It's a big place and there have been changes over the years, but it's a pretty good match.  I can't find the exact same side/angle yet.

What do others think?

Here are a few to look at:

1955: https://www.francisfrith.com/hythe,hampshire/hythe-west-cliff-hall-hotel-c1955_h372049

Now, modernised and extended etc, it's now a care home complex:

So they were on their holibobs .... taking just one set of photos, as you do with film etc.  You shoot as many photos as your materials allow you to from "one reel" or "one box of plates".

It might take a "local" to pop down and compare different angles to see if they can re-shoot the same side/angle/bit .. if not demolished.

And I found this:

"It is a large hotel which used to be on the coast but now overlooks drained Reclaimed Land.
The hotel is on a hill surrounded by woodland.At the bottom of the hill is a railway track used by goods trains serving the Fawley Oil Refinery further south on Southampton Water.  "

Which, I think, might nail it.

Sorry, I don't think it's the same. On the original there are 5 window above the door between the "tower bits" on the hotel there are 7 and one of the "tower bits" would have had to be demolished.

From the original I can see other wings .... that bit could either have been remodelled, or be a different wing.

The roof is also entirely different, but that could be because it's a different wing and/or been remodelled.

I'm holding onto these straws!!

We need to find out the history of West Cliff Hotel as that would help to confirm or eliminate.

Apparently it was originally built for a Colonel Vere Hobart. Postal address was West Cliff Hall, Dibden.

Good evening,

Definately two different buildings. To get from the OPs photo to the hotel would have involved a complete demolition and rebuild job.

I agree with you John.

This is the railway, which doesn't look like the ramp in the OP's photo

Just an observation after having a closer look at these pictures. 

The first house with the two bays/tower bits has a sort of drape effect over and part way down the sides of each window.  Looking at the wedding group photo in reply #13 the window to the right has the same thing, although the window glass is totally different.  I wonder if this could be another side or wing of that house.

Added.  Just noticed the glass in the window is plain, it's just the door and the windows to the left that are "leaded".
