We booked relatively last minute for a one-night stop; this would be a good base for a longer stay. Newly-refurbished (2024/25?) it was clean throughout, comfortable in all respects. Our room was a 3rd floor (attic) room, so not much of a window and no view. We'd probably want more natural light for a longer stay, but it was fully functional, excellent en suite and cheaper than chain hotel options, so no complaints really. Staff were friendly and helpful and we were very happy to be given a token for a free first drink in the bar!!
We weren't going to order breakfast but did have the continental option in the end - good value, possibly better than the cooked option. But everything was excellently fresh and that includes the milk in the room!
Free car parking opposite the front door, but possibly not enough space if fully occupied - get there early!
All in all, recommended

Plantation style shutters were broken and the milk in the fridge was spoiled. The bath was also badly chipped and the air conditioning was blasting straight onto the kids’ bed despite the cool weather, even when I turned the temperature way up. The room then became unbearably stuffy when the air con was turned off, as unable to open windows.
The milk was replaced and staff came to look at the shutters and tried to bodge them shut. Was told the issue would be reported to maintenance in the morning.
It was difficult to settle the kids to sleep in the light and cold/hot conditions, and then we all woke up very early due to sunlight flooding in.
Extremely disappointing given the price point and no compensation offered.

Lovely hotel, room a bit clostrophobic.
Shower trap was blocked so did not drain and couldn’t really have a proper shower. Handle fell off bathroom door leaving trapped inside.
Light broke above basin.
Staff extremely un-attentive over breakfast.
I would say average hotel at an expensive hotel price.

An enjoyable four-night stay. Handsome Georgian building, recently refurbished, right in the centre of town. No garden or outdoor space though, and no car park as such, just some dedicated space at the back of the pavement across the road. Friendly, welcoming staff. Complimentary drink provided. Room rather small, with not much storage, but with aircon and a nice bathroom, with an ingenious nightlight arrangement for nocturnal visits! Nicely cooked breakfast with a reasonable amount of choice (no kippers or black pudding though!). We had trouble getting adequately strong coffee, but got there in the end.

Hi there,
I was there for a one-night-stay (some funerals). The staff was nice and welcoming!
The bedroom was comfortable and spacious with an excellent air-con with unforgiving hot conditions (heatwave) outside. After a train-trip impacted by the hot temperatures, it was great to arrive in this haven!
Next morning, Breakfast was excellent.
There are a few nice places around, though I arrived on a Monday evening, so many restaurants were closed.
The hotel is well located at walking distance from shops, restaurants and places to visit.

I had an amazing trip & this hotel was part of it. I found the staff to be exceptional & very helpful. I loved having the restaurant right in the hotel. My room overlooked the ruins & the Priory & had air conditioning & a walk in shower which were priorities for me. It was a quick walk to the high street for shopping, bank, other food options & a quick walk to the ferries on the river. I would absolutely stay here again.

This is a lovely hotel in the perfect location for a visit to Christchurch. The premier room we had was huge and well appointed. The aircon was very useful in the hot weather we had. We got the early check in, which I recommend as it’s easier to find a parking spot earlier in the day. The staff were very friendly and even gave us a free welcome drink. We will definately stay here again.
