Another stay at a Harbour Hotel; we do enjoy their offering. Consistently providing great service and a pleasant stay. The Jetty at Christchurch Harbour Hotel served an excellent meal and service - highly recommend the Jetty.
We loved our stay at the Christchurch Harbour Hotel! The location on the water was beautiful, the staff (especially Phillip) was so welcoming and helpful, and the food was delicious. A charming place to spend our last couple of days in England. Thank you!
The hotel and staff were excellent.
The room was of a very high standard.
The breakfast was very good but the evening menus could've bee better.
Over all stay was excellent and would
Highly recommend 👌
The pool and leisure facilities were closed for refurb and the lounge area was quite small hence liw score for amenities...However,the staff were excellent and room comfortable.Delicious evening meal.....

We were very happy with the spotless room we stayed in.
Lovely quiet location, comfy room and great food. Bar staff very helpful.
Building works going on at the hotel and next door so we were disturbed in the morning by lorries but this is not the fault of the hotel
I searched for a hotel with a spa but the spa was closed for refurbishment

Loved staying here! Great facilities and very comfortable bed. Service was excellent too. Loved the little touches like the water and milk delivery in the afternoon. It was so good that we booked to go to another Harbour Hotel!
Sadly the pool and spa were not open. I was unaware of this when I booked and I was told it was somewhere on my online booking platform if I’d scrolled right down to the bottom. The pool and spa were the main reason I booked this hotel as it was a very special treat for my partner and myself.as we have recently been through stressful times recently and needed a break.
Room immaculate. Staff ALL excellent helpful welcoming and highly professional. The spa is being renovated but we knew this when we booked. Bar is well appointed and well staffed. This Hotel is a gem and the food in both restaurants (hotel and Jetty) is exceptional albeit a little pricey but that is life when you want quality.
Lovely stay.
The hotel is perfect, on the seaside, rooms were comfortable, the continental breakfast satisfying and the dinner restaurant excellent.
The service was great too! The young ladies and gentlemen were very friendly and polite.
Nice friendly hotel with beautiful seaside views from the terraces - would love to revisit in the summer when it’s warm enough to sit out to appreciate.
Our cosy room had a view of the car park and although very well appointed, it was rather cramped but fine for a one night stay.
Spa was closed for refurbishment.
Breakfast room was rather dark due to covered terrace outside. We did enjoy the wide selection offered on the continental buffet, especially homemade banana bread and marmalade flapjack.
Would recommend booking a sea view larger room for a more enjoyable stay.

Unfortunately due to the renovation of spa we were unable to experience these facilities but appreciated the complimentary use of Nordic Sauna on Avon Beach
Very good room in annexe but significant road noise
My wife had a spa treatment at only available time 1045 but we were still not allowed delayed check out for the hour of her facial without paying £35!
Slow service at breakfast

Lovely hotel in a beautiful location. Have stayed here before but what made it really special this time was Bruno and the care he took with our room and my husband who was recovering from a knee operation
We booked a night at this hotel with a spa. The hotel contacted Expedia to explain the spa was under renovations and out of use.
Expedia did not give me the message.
The sole reason for booking this hotel was because of the spa.
Expedia failed in passing on the information.
The hotel upgraded us and did everything they could to make the stay very enjoyable but Expedia let me down and I would like a refund from Expedia
