Lymington

"Stayed with 10 friends with average age of 60. Photos of house interior on Vrbo are generally accurate - those on the website for Wheathill show different furniture and soft furnishings. Overall1930s shabby chic vibe is very nice and as expected. Good location in rural residential area10 mins walk to nearest shop and a pub. Neighbours are very close by and pay close attention to people coming and going. Rooms were clean and beds had clean white bedding. Mattresses were very comfortable. There...

Top Christchurch Hotel Reviews

The Kings Arms

10/10 Excellent

"Hotel location is fantastic, close to shops and restaurants which are fab. 20mins drive from the beach. Hotel itself was amazing. Immaculately clean. Staff are super friendly, the breakfast in the restaurant was delicious. I can not recommend this place enough. I will definitely be going back!!!"

Carrington House Hotel

8/10 Good

"One of The attendant, saved me and gave me a room for 5 people at no extra cost so I could stay together with my children as at the website was not available and I had to pay for 2 rooms. The bedroom floor was very dirty, and it was very hot because there was no AC, but they do provide a fan. I had to clean the room myself because cleaning is done after 3 days of stay and since I have children, it's difficult to go more than a day without cleaning the room. Breakfast buffet was ok. Cheap sausages...also the coffee made from the machine have an awful taste and seems to be made with instant coffee..I had to buy proper coffee from beans outside. Overall good for the price."

Leonardo Hotel Southampton

10/10 Excellent

"Just keep in mind that there is no car park on site. There is one 5 minute walk away."

Leonardo Royal Southampton Grand Harbour

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel was in a great location and close to both the historical old section of town and the large shopping center at Westquay. It is walking distance to the train and bus stations. The cruise terminals are also close by."

Village Hotel Bournemouth

8/10 Good

"Clean and tidy room. Hotel is a bit in the middle of no where so you will have to drive or get transport if you want to go into Bournemouth town or to the beach."

Bournemouth West Cliff Hotel & Spa

8/10 Good

"Stayed in the superior family room. Whilst the main double bed was very comfortable. The 2 small single pull out beds her diabolical. Both children don’t sleep at all so all has to try and sleep in the main bed. Which was very tricky. The room was drab and outdated. The shampoo/shower gel bottles are very difficult to use. The toilet didn’t flush very well. No TV channels. You had to sign into the apps using your own details. So remember to sign out again when you leave. The pool was much smaller than on the photos. The pool was very nice and warm tho. The outside veranda was lovely. The music playing was very sad and emotional. The food was okay. Nothing to write home about. But nice. Breakfast was lovely. Loved the pancake machine. There are lots of people using the Spa facilities so playing in the pool can be awkward at times. Overall. It’s an okay stay. I would stay again. But in a better room"

Sandbanks Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Superb size of room with beautiful view of the harbour at Poole. Very good buffet breakfast and some excellent culinary delights for dinner in the hotel’s Italian restaurant. Parking was easy."

Laguna Hotel

8/10 Good

"We had a lovely stay, the staff were very helpful and super friendly they responded to all queries very politely. Our room was very clean except a couple of peanuts in shells on the carpet. The hotel is a a bit dated but it does add to the character. Breakfast was reasonable, there was a good variety of options on the menu but the portion was a bit on the small side. I would say the hotel offers good value for money"

Royal Bath Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Good good very good"
