    parking issues
    noise disturbance

    The Selfridge Suite was an extraordinary upgrade, showcasing spaciousness and comfort while the staff's really good politeness made a great impression. Breakfast was so great with beautifully presented tropical fruits and a wide selection, though dinner didn't quite meet the 5-star standard anticipated. The location was also ideal for our planned evening function, but the dining experience could use some enhancement.

    Charming stay with good dining options

    I loved my time in a cozy Double Room. The breakfast was particularly excellent, with beautifully cooked options and freshly baked pastries. The staff were attentive and friendly. I found the evening dining menu could use some additional variety to enhance the experience further.

    cozy large double room
    fine highcliffe castle

    The perfect location for visiting the fine Highcliffe Castle and the nature reserve. We loved exploring the area and easily reaching the beach and surrounding attractions by foot. An amazing helping of fresh mushroom soup was a good surprise during our dining experience!

    homemade bread
    cozy restaurant vibe
    tasty breakfast
    mismatched furniture
    uncomfortable bed

    Oh, the breakfast had me buzzing with the taste of homemade bread, and the cooked options were spot on! Plus, the restaurant vibe was cozy and inviting.

    While the ensuite was modern, the room had a hoarder's charm with mismatched furniture and one bed that felt more like a child's cot. Not quite the 5-star experience we'd hoped for!

    gorgeous room

    The room was gorgeous and spacious, and breakfast in the bright, modern restaurant was so tasty. I loved the nice relaxing lounge area and the beautiful garden for a quiet escape. Just a heads up, the breakfast options could be better. I wished there were more cereals beyond cornflakes. 😊

    helpful staff
    comfortable room

    All staff were helpful and polite. The large double room featured excellent facilities, complemented by a very comfortable bed and a mini fridge, a nice touch. Dinner in the restaurant was a highlight. The food was of high quality, and breakfast included a made-to-order cooked option that was very satisfying.
