The Retreat is an excellent hotel

Lovely relaxing stay, I was here to meet up with old friends in New Milton, the Retreat offered a nice base for rest and relaxation in a lovely setting

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.
2-night trip

8/10 Very good

No real reception so a self service check in but no problem really. All rooms on first floor, no lift. Very clean. Our room a bit close to the main road but ear plugs were provided!
Helen, 2-night trip

4/10 Fair

Not the best.
Shayne, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.

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
Stewart, 2-night trip

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.
Denise, 2-night trip

Always a friendly member of staff on hand great food in a lovely restaurant environment A superb place to stay, we can’t wait to come back

A stunning room with ambient heating and wonderful deep bath and shower.
James, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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!

The property is beautifully unique and very comfortable.
Ramona, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

The room was stated as a king size bed , however it seems it was two single beds pulled together which was very disappointing.
Alex, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Nice peaceful location with great access to to local places to visit. Good value for money if you don’t need to be in the middle of town, beats a Lenny Henry place hands down,
Paul, 1-night trip
