A superb evening. As a group of four we had the 'Sharing menu' with the suggested wine list. Incredible- we had 7 courses, each well presented and delicious. My favourite was the asparagus risotto with a poached egg, my wife's was the monk fish. Before the meal we had a drink on the balcony overlooking the harbour. The staff got... More

Don't be put off as you approach the hotel, it gets better once inside and the terrace is fabulous. The rooms are very nicely appointed, clean, light and airy, very comfy big bed, definitely ask for one facing the sea as the view is stunning. The others are facing the main road which maybe noisy as there is a bus... More

What on earth were we thinking? In a moment's weakness, the purchase of four vouchers for a "spa getaway" seemed, to my friends and I, like a good idea. So off we (and our partners) trotted down to East Dorset for a night at the Christchurch Harbour Hotel & Spa, eagerly anticipating our dinner and spa experiences by the sea.... More

I chose this hotel and surroundings to propose to my girlfriend. Avon beach which is just around the corner from the hotel was a lovely setting for this and it was only a short walk from the hotel. We booked in for one night stay which included dinner at the upper deck restaurant and breakfast. Our room was a gold... More

We've stayed here lots of time when visiting relatives who live in Bouremouth. The rooms are nice - even the basic rooms, although the hotel can get rowdy during the Christmas party season. However, because it's getting very expensive to stay here, we now prefer to use the RNLI College in Poole - if we can.

The Upper Deck restaurant and bar have recently been relaunched and are great - brilliant venue for Sunday lunch, as well as when staying in the hotel and spa Stayed in two connecting room in the new part of the hotel - great room quality and service experience overall

Our favourite "bolt hole" in Dorset has just improved again, with the newly refurbished restaurant , the Upper Deck" and the bar area all adding to the already excellent facilities of this lovely hotel. The added bonus of Alex Aitkins now running the kitchen alongside his fantastic restaurant, the Jetty, in the grounds is a fantastic added bonus giving two... More

BOOKING We booked a last minute stay, deciding on a sunny morning it would be good to be by the sea. Reception couldn't have been more helpful explaining the advantages of each room and availability of restaurant bookings. Do phone the hotel direct unless booking overnight it is worth it for the advice. all the staff we met were helpful... More

The greeting from the hotel was excellent, the gentleman who booked us in was very professional, our room on the 5th floor had excellent views of teh small inlet/harbour, with nothing between the hotel and the sea - rather like the Midland Hotel in Morecambe. The room was comforatble and clean, also very quiet. The only downside was the stupid... More
