I was unaware of any lift indoors which made climbing stairs difficult for people with mobility challenges. ##### Jacob Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Robert 9 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### A great Dog Friendly Hotel. This has to be the best hotel I have stayed in for dog walking. It has a restaurant next door that serves excellent food sourced locally. A bit more expensive than a pub chain but well worth it. The same with the breakfast which was excellent. And the bonus is we could eat in the dog friendly area with our dog. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/8c7bed3e-cf01-480c-8633-2162cee94c08-1754734562693.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/5f25d539-eeaa-4437-be2c-e3266e688d44-1754734562230.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/8592747b-ea59-47c0-a28b-73f2029cc59b-1754734561958.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/34f03aac-00ba-459a-9811-2100a410a9eb-1754734562121.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Robert Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Gary 2 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Chill out hotel ##### Gary Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Jessica 28 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Had a lovely stay here. It was very peaceful, the room was lovely and staff were good. Ate at the restaurant which was delicious and nice staff. Had a massage which was brilliant. The brewery was fantastic, definitely a highlight and only a couple minutes walk away. From other reviews, there were some cobwebs on the outside of the window but that really didn’t bother us. Overall, lovely place to stay. Nice and quiet! ![Room 3](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/32c2522d-78b1-4b67-9aa6-fccd2b744cef-1756365474300.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![The brewery](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/7433df84-24b1-4479-a7e1-6a9c0532584b-1756365474785.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Jessica Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Julia 9 Mar 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Lovely stay and easy drive to the beaches ##### Julia Stayed 1 night in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Simon 2 May 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### 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 ##### Simon Stayed 1 night in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Emma 21 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Great property.

Nice grounds and walks available. Traffic a bit noisy but not too bad. Nice ambience. Easy parking.

Unfortunately single glazed windows by a busy road (24hrs a day) means you need to use the provided earplugs. There is tea and coffee in the room but for refreshments etc you need to go to the nice but pricey pub restaurant next door. Just for a touring place is in a good position. No plug in bathroom sink and the main front door code got changed on day 2 and we were not told. Is not as nice as looks in the photos but if could get a room at the back would go back as is in a nice position for touring New forest and surrounding area. ##### Evelyn Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Phil 25 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### 100% recommend Lovely place in the New Forest, easy to find but lives up to is name of "Retreat". Everything was really nice, bathroom was enormous with a large tub. Shower was blocked so avoided but didn't cause issues. When we did have an issue with the door it was sorted in person straightaway. Only marked down "comfort" because the mattress was too firm, but that's each to their own. ##### Phil Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### James 21 Aug 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Nice quaint stay. ##### James Stayed 3 nights in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Val 18 Apr 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### 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. ##### Val Stayed 1 night in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jovette 18 Aug 2024 Amazing location where you can relax and have a peaceful stay ##### Jovette Stayed 1 night in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Gordon 18 Feb 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Another great stay at this unique hotel—plenty of sockets for charging beside the bed. ##### Gordon Stayed 1 night in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Keith 21 Mar 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Super new forest retreat after fly in Cracking little gem for Bmth airport late arrival Flights. ##### Keith Stayed 1 night in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Malcolm 14 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### A week in the New Forest We stayed for a week getting to know the area and as a base to see some friends nearby. Only managed one yoga class; would have liked to have done at least one more. The restaurant on site gave us options, as did the large patio area at the back, giving us a peaceful spot for a picnic. Easy enclosed walk around large field around back perfect for a dog walk. The hotel is on a busy road, but this does give east access to seaside and New Forest. A fridge in room would have been helpful to keep milk and drinks cold - it was 30 degrees most days. ##### Malcolm Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [The Fisherman's Haunt](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Christchurch-Hotels-The-Fishermans-Haunt.h4395271.Hotel-Information) > > [Oulton Hall Hotel, Spa & Golf Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Leeds-Hotels-Oulton-Hall-Hotel.h15948.Hotel-Information) > > [The Park Royal Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Warrington-Hotels-The-Park-Royal.h24462.Hotel-Information) > > ['The Shed', A luxury lodge with a view, Sandhills Holiday Park Mudeford](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Christchurch-Hotels-The-Shed.h44473118.Hotel-Information) > > [DoubleTree by Hilton Cheltenham-Cotswolds](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cheltenham-Hotels-Doubletree-By-Hilton-Cheltenham.h65899.Hotel-Information) > > [ibis budget Manchester Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Manchester-Hotels-Ibis-Budget-Manchester-Airport.h75715089.Hotel-Information) > > [Ufford Park Woodbridge Hotel, Golf & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Woodbridge-Hotels-Ufford-Park-Woodbridge-Hotel.h12685.Hotel-Information) > > [Dunston Hall Hotel, Spa and Golf Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Norwich-Hotels-Dunston-Hall.h519081.Hotel-Information) > > [DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel and Spa Chester](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Chester-Hotels-DoubleTree-By-Hilton-Hotel-And-Spa-Chester.h527788.Hotel-Information) > > [Redworth Hall Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Newton-Aycliffe-Hotels-Redworth-Hall-Hotel.h517266.Hotel-Information) > > [Royal Whitby](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Whitby-Hotels-The-Royal-Hotel.h57917040.Hotel-Information) > > [Last Drop Village Hotel and Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bolton-Hotels-Last-Drop-Village-Hotel-And-Spa.h9341.Hotel-Information) > > [Cave Hotel & Golf Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Faversham-Hotels-Cave-Hotel-Golf-Resort.h33410673.Hotel-Information) > > [Radisson Hotel Manchester City Centre, A Verified Net Zero Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Manchester-Hotels-Park-Inn-By-Radisson-Manchester-City-Centre.h2601411.Hotel-Information) > > [De Vere Tortworth Court](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bristol-Hotels-De-Vere-Tortworth-Court.h570412.Hotel-Information) > > [The Bear of Burton](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Christchurch-Hotels-The-Bear-Of-Burton.h4231354.Hotel-Information) > > [Stargaze from a beach hut on the Mudeford Sandbank](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Christchurch-Hotels-Sea-View-Stargazing-Beach-Hut-On-Mudeford-Sandbank.h60915344.Hotel-Information) > > [Lakes Hotel and Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Windermere-Hotels-Lakes-Hotel-And-Spa.h901040.Hotel-Information) > > [Four Seasons Hotel Hampshire](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hook-Hotels-Four-Seasons-Hotel-Hampshire.h986107.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Garden Inn Silverstone](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Towcester-Hotels-Hilton-Garden-Inn-Silverstone.h48251404.Hotel-Information) > > [Hampton by Hilton Bristol Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bristol-Hotels-Hampton-By-Hilton-Bristol-Airport.h16543862.Hotel-Information) > > [De Vere Wokefield Estate](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Reading-Hotels-De-Vere-Wokefield-Estate.h1044123.Hotel-Information) > > [The Jetty - pet friendly and by the beach on Sandhills Holiday Park, Mudeford](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Christchurch-Hotels-The-Jetty-Pet-Friendly-And-By-The-Beach-On-Sandhills-Holiday-Park.h44444312.Hotel-Information) > > [Grosvenor Pulford Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Chester-Hotels-Grosvenor-Pulford-Hotel-Spa.h790572.Hotel-Information) > > [Cedar House Boutique B&B](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Christchurch-Hotels-Cedar-House-Boutique-BB.h36055349.Hotel-Information) > > [The Windermere Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Windermere-Hotels-The-Windermere-Hotel.h13431161.Hotel-Information) > > [Harbour Hotel Christchurch](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Christchurch-Hotels-The-Christchurch-Harbour-Hotel-And-Spa.h18097.Hotel-Information) > > [De Vere Cotswold Water Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cirencester-Hotels-De-Vere-Cotswold-Water-Park.h1770053.Hotel-Information) > > [Cambridge Belfry Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cambridge-Hotels-Cambridge-Belfry.h1103020.Hotel-Information)
