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.

Ok but not brilliant
My room was at the front of the property & road noise was an issue. Room was tired, single glazing & had a few cobwebs. I walked a bit around the grounds but wirh no clear pathways, I was unsure if I was trespassing. Overall the building is in needif repair.
