Arrived slightly late but still greeting by owner. Room was spacious and luxurious but does need some TLC. Beautiful balcony overlooking wonderful spacious gardens, small pool, jacuzzi and sauna. Breakfast was excellent, staff were very friendly, helpful and respectfully distant. Had a great meal at The Bear of Burton (two doors away). Great distance from Christchurch (6 minutes). Would stay again.

Lovely large room with good size bathroom . Beautiful grounds and the pool was most welcomed as the weather was hot. Great breakfast .

Brilliant stay here.. beautiful country location but close to the town. The ladies who greeted us and looked after us were friendly, accommodating and just genuinely great people. Wish we could have stayed longer! Hope we will be back

Gorgeous house sitting next to a farm. Not location I thought it would be on the map as there is a dual carriageway between it and Christchurch town. A local told me we could have walked down the road and over the footbridge into centre within 20mins. Wasn't told this and there was no local info said to us nor written, only plugging local eaterie in which they have an interest. However the house itself is gorgeous, Havilland room fabulous, massive bed, opulent decor, spacious open bathroom with roomy shower and sink. The room has a balcony overlooking the big garden with splash pool, so nice to sit in an evening. Really vould have been abroad with the gorgeous weather we had. The Bear of Burton and Oak Inn are short walk for dinner. Food ok in both. Nice country smells and noises from next door cows which reminded me of home!

Delightful stay

The room was nice and clean with a good layout with kids. The lady who served us breakfast was very friendly and the breakfast was nice.

What an amazing find on hotels.com this is, fantastic hosts in Chris &

The owner and staff were incredibly lovely and accommodating, especially as we needed an early check-in to prepare for our wedding that day. They went above and beyond to ensure everything was seamless for us. The stunning interior decor and the delicious breakfast truly added to our special day. Being just down the road from our wedding venue in Sopley, it was the perfect location. Thank you so much for helping to make our wedding day so perfect!

Alt var super fint sødt personale og lækkert morgenmad

B & B in a beautiful setting, perfect location for the coast and New Forest. Attractive building and gardens with swimming pool. Really good breakfast selection with homemade preserves. Just felt some of the attention to detail was lacking. The area around our room was tired, the patio slabs looked like they needed a good clean and the door lock seemed very flimsy, the 2 armchairs weren’t that clean. Plus the ashtray on the patio table still had cigarette ends in it. It’s a shame because it could’ve been the perfect stay.

The property is on the shabby side of chic. Garden area feels unloved. Room was clean, though smelt slightly musty. Breakfast very good. Better options in the area.

Nice welcome from Maggie, the proprietor, who showed us our room. Very large room with lovely views to the rear and the extensive gardens, pool and other areas. The room was however very tired looking and needing attention, the shower valve needed replacing and didn’t work properly, the foot of the bed was threadbare and the balcony furniture old and rusty, having said this the room did have a certain charm. Breakfast was ok, the cooked breakfast was acceptable, the buffet very disappointing with very little available. The two staff seemed pleasant, we didn’t see Maggie again. The house had so much character and with a little effort and money spent could be vastly improved. The gardens, outside cabins and pool areas again all needed attention.

We had a really lovely time over the Easter weekend. The property and the grounds are beautiful but a little bit tired in places, which only really added to the look. The housekeeper who greeted us was so lovely and welcoming and our room was fantastic. It was a really unusual space and we had a huge balcony which we enjoyed. The only downside was on the first night we struggled to get any hot water for a shower, but after asking for some help the housekeeper came and sorted it for us. The breakfast was lovely and there was lots of choice. All in all, a really good stay

Another great stay !

Really comfortable stay in a beautiful house. Excellent hospitality and a superb and very generous breakfast. The owners also have a delicious Thai restaurant in Christchurch called the Ship which did absolutely delicious food. Excellent stay would totally recommend.

Das Zimmer roch muffig und die Heizung funktionierte nicht. Wir bekamen aber einen kleinen Radiator. Stoff an den Sesseln war verschlissen (Löcher und unsauber). Duschen war nahezu unmöglich - es plätscherte ein wenig aus der Brause, daran hätte man sich gewöhnen können. Aber das Wasser war entweder sehr heiß oder eiskalt. Eine angenehme Temperatur im Wohlfühlbereich oder "plus minus" ging leider nicht. Der frische Bettbezug war übersät von Tierhaaren - dies wurde aber sofort und mit herzlicher Entschuldigung gewechselt - daher Pluspunkt für die Freundlichkeit der Hausdame und die tolle umgehende Reaktion. Alle Mitarbeiterinnen, die wir kennengelernt haben, waren unglaublich freundlich und herzlich. Das Frühstück war lecker und es gab eine gute Auswahl. Die Croissants sind ein Traum. Das Haus und das Grundstück sind toll und geschmackvoll - schade, dass es bei unserem Zimmer doch erhebliche Mängel gab. Ansonsten wäre es ein toller Ort zum Wohlfühlen.

This is a lovely old house. Small pool and a hot tub. Huge gardens. Our room (Genius) was big. Comfy bed, lovely shower. Excellent freshly cooked breakfast. Staff were friendly and helpful. Only down point was big thick duvet in summer and no alternative available.

We loved the rural area and the lovely ornamants and art work throughout the property. The kids had an amazing time with plenty of space for them to run around. The pool was small but perfect as easier to watch the kids.

We really liked Cedar House and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. It is an older property which comes with its quirks (but that's also why we preferred it to the soulless hotel chains). The furnishings and paintings made it feel homely and warm. Staff were lovely, the breakfast was great and it was a pleasure to sit out in the garden for some peace and quiet. The pub, almost next door, serves good evening meals. It was also a great base for exploring the area - we had never heard of, but really liked, Hengistbury Head which is only a few miles away.

It’s all looking a bit tired , unfortunately the web photos are better than reality , which is a shame as it wouldn’t take much to bring the place up to standard. The room had a damp smell each day and the shower had black mould on the ceiling … Overall the rooms and furnishings were very nice and as said wouldn’t take too much to raise the standard, with a bit of decoration and maintenance.
