Review of The Retreat

Quiet, pleasant, as expected. Nice grounds and walks available. Traffic a bit noisy but not too bad. Nice ambience. Easy parking. If we need to stay in that area in future I expect we'll go there.

10/10 Exceptional

Adequate

We were not happy with our room as it was small and directly facing the road and the noise of constant traffic passing day and night. We had asked for a quiet room on booking and a late checkout, neither of which we got. The wellbeing classes were very expensive so we could not afford any. Dogs in rooms barking as they had be left alone.

The retreat Christchurch g up

Lovely room Clean and everything you need for a weekend stay Don’t think it would be good for anyone with restricted mobility as all rooms upstairs and some rooms have a split level to en-suite We had a front facing room to main road which can get noisy as main road from Southampton to Christchurch They do supply ear plugs but traffic wasn’t to bad at night to cause me to use Wife did use but had a good night sleep anyway The only thing that would be a better experience would be ev charging points so ev cars can charge overnight even thou their are plenty of dc chargers in area but charging on site would help on day planning and return trips home

Great stay, just what we wanted.

We loved the self check-in, made everything very quick and easy. Room we absolutely fine, clean and comfortable. We were at the front so had a little road noise but it wasn’t a problem and we slept well. Plenty of parking so that’s always a bonus. Breakfast in the nearby Colin Nash restaurant was excellent. A really good full-English. Will definitely stay here again.

6/10 Good

It was mediocre but not horrendous for the money

Not the best - it was okay. The overall building & grounds are nice. Nice looking restaurant & menu but definitely not cooked to the standard I'd expect for the price - just overpriced and small portions (you know the vibes!). Staff friendly in the restaurant/bar - but staff on the phone not great at answering (within the alloted business hours stated). I had the eco/budget room so I can't complain about the tiny room & single bed etc, but just a warning - you need to squeeze your case in the wardrobe otherwise, there is no room to move. It was okay - there were lots of activities I wanted to partake in but I didn't find it clear to book online etc. When I eventually found the prices of the events, I decided to give it a miss. The grounds are beautiful though and I'm sure the Pilates studio was very nice (looked nice from the outside). They told me to text ahead of arrival but didn't receive confirmation of receipt (confused me as to why I had to do this). Quite old/worn bathroom & general decor within the room. I left 3 days early due to personal circumstances, but didn't feel like I knew what was going on really within the hotel, in terms of facilities available and events taking place. Nothing horrendous but maybe get a better room than I got (pay more) & don't get as excited about the Colin Nash restaurant as I did.

Best place to stay with my dogs

I been here probably 15 times. This place it’s just amazing, every time I come to visit New Forest I book The Retreat New Forest for my staying with my dogs! There it’s pet friendly and no charge for dogs (that’s fantastic) a big bonus for me so why I come here many time! The room it’s clean, very comfy and relaxing! I recommend if you’re coming around New Forest with your furry friends, don’t hesitate to stay there!

Hideaway Retreat in the forest

Had a Great stay at “The Retreat”… It’s a quiet place, near Bransgore and Christchurch. An excellent restaurant and loads of classes on the ground floor through the day time. I’ve given it 5 stars because it’s exactly what I wanted however the reviews that are low reflect an “expectation problem. Guests need to read the information about the place before booking. Travel lodge are Premier Inn can be found nearby.. If it’s a tailor made cosy hideaway your after this is it

Great Stay

I wasn't expecting a lot as I'd booked a single room and it was quite cheap. On arrival the check in process was very easy exactly as per the instructions sent out. When I went into the room, Wow! I'd obviously been upgraded to a large room with king size bed rolltop bath and walk in shower. Pressure on the shower was also excellent. Room was spotlessly clean. With the ample free parking it was a perfect stay. When I'm back in the area this is the first place I'll be looking to stay

Beautiful building

Lovely hotel, my room was spacious, comfortable and very clean. Strange not having a reception but all the access codes worked although I had to chase them as they weren’t emailed to me as advised. The lady I spoke to was very helpful and sorted quickly. My room was at the back overlooking the garden so was very quiet.
