    I enjoyed the attentive staff and cozy atmosphere during my stay. The room was spacious, providing a comfortable experience. the parking situation was challenging and I encountered slow service in the restaurant, which detracted from my overall enjoyment.

    beautiful room
    great shower
    delicious breakfast
    spotty wi-fi

    Our stay was delightful with a beautiful king room and an amazing shower that felt like a spa! We loved the peaceful garden area to unwind after enjoying the delicious breakfast each morning. Just a heads up, the Wi-Fi could be a little spotty at times, but it didn’t really put a damper on our fun! 😊

    ineffective air conditioning
    limited parking

    my recent visit exceeded my expectations during this decent comfort, especially the beautiful decor and attentive staff. the breakfast offered a substantial selection of fresh pastries and juices, which I loved. my previous stay in christchurch was good, but this experience elevated my overall impression.

    Nice
    6.0

    The building has some historic charm with its classic architecture, and the proximity to the bustling town center makes it easy to explore local shops and eateries. The unique Fawlty Towers dinner show offered a memorable experience with a good laugh and a complimentary Prosecco.

    The attic room had low ceilings that made it feel cramped, leading to a few unfortunate bumps on the head, and the heat was stifling despite the two fans. Limited breakfast options only included a continental selection, and the specialty coffees came at an extra cost, which felt a bit steep. The lack of a vibrant atmosphere during the evening made it feel somewhat lifeless, and the space for dining felt limited, especially with the restaurant closed for refurbishment. not the worst stay but definitely left wanting more comfort and liveliness.

    spacious room
    top-notch food

    Couple looking for a cozy retreat

    Had a relaxing time there. The room was spacious and spotless, really like they cared about cleanliness which is important, especially now. The food was top-notch too, especially the lamb chop I had, just divine, flavors were popping. Plus the staff, they were just friendly, always around to help when needed.

    Let's be real, it's not exactly budget-friendly but worth it for the experience.

    inadequate social distancing

    crowded restaurant

    The spacious King Room with Courtyard View offered a comfortable stay with great views and a large bathroom. The food was a highlight, especially the beef dishes, which were exceptionally tasty. the hotel's approach to safety during our visit was concerning.

    Couple’s Night Escape

    We had a fantastic time in this lovely double room that had a view over the old castle ruins, it was truly a sight to behold. The breakfast exceeded our expectations, filled with top quality ingredients and friendly service that just made the mornings brighter.

    It wasn't exactly cheap, but you get what you pay for.

    delicious breakfast
    small reception area

    Had a fantastic time with friends! The location was perfect for exploring the beautiful surroundings. We enjoyed cycling along scenic paths and visiting the local market. The staff was super helpful, making ours a stress-free stay. The breakfast was top-notch too, with loads of options.

    Only downside was the small reception area. it felt a bit cramped when we arrived. But honestly, it didn't ruin our experience!
