We love this area - access by car to the New Forest, many shopping centres but most of all the local area of Christchurch Harbour which the hotel overlooks. Mudeford quay is a few minutes walk away and so is Avon Beach - the only beach we know that has a well stocked book and clothing shop! The hotel is... more

The room was lovely; VERY comfortable. The staff were pleasant and welcoming - no mean feat when BBCRadio4 had just announced a flood warning for the area and we were on the ground floor! The spa was fully booked for treatments, so book early if that matters to you. The pools etc were very good. We ate in the Harbour... more

A fantastic hotel in a stunning location overlooking the sea. We were upgraded to a silver room which was beautifully decorated. We had the most comfortable bed ever with crisp white sheets and lovely pillows. The en-suite was newly fitted with a lovely deep bath and shower. The room had stunning views across the water to Hengistbury Head. The spa... more

The rooms are a little small, however the beds and linen are excellent, heating a little warm, so left the window open. We had dinner included on the first night, with no restrictions, good steaks and well thought balanced menu. Spa facilities are excellent for this price of hotel, if you want more, you pay alot more, which makes an... more

We had a Sunday night special deal which was very good value for money. The hotel is beautifully decorated, the staff friendly and helpful. The room, a basic bronze rooom, was very well appointed, although the number of light switches were confusing. The spa was very relaxing with great facilities. The lighting is very atmospheric, but agree with previous reviews... more

Nick and I had our wedding ceremony and evening reception at the CHH on 2nd October 2009. We highly recommend this hotel. The staff are attentive and friendly.

My wife and I stayed here for 1 night on a midweek 'Rhodes South Stay & Dine' package (1 night, B&B, Spa use & Rhodes South 3 course meal). Saw the hotel reviewed in The Times some months earlier, double-checked reviews on Tripadvisor and liked the look of it straight away - newly refurbished, good waterfront setting, spa, smart restaurant,... more

Rooms/hotel too hot. Lighting/decoration 'dingy', a bit like Las vegas where they don't want you to know whether it's night or day. Spa OK but similar decor. Worst dining experience, hotel or restaurant, for ten years - scallops & lobster bisque starters served (luke warm) within 3 minutes of ordering and before wine reached the table. Pork & sole main... more
