“Brilliant!”

Reviewed 12 May 2013

The ONLY place to stay for the Food Festival....it all happens within a few steps of the front door....brilliant location. Staff were friendly, helpful, and professional...nothing was too much trouble. We stayed just the one night and had three loft rooms...although previous reviews state that they are small, we found them absolutely fine, can only imagine the rest of the... More

“Fabulous little place”

Reviewed 9 May 2013

Lovely hotel for a weekend break, with some fabulous staff, great decor and pretty good food. Stay clear of the front bedrooms unless you are deaf, as the lack of soundproofing feels like you're sleeping on the road. Lovely rooms, great common parts, excellent position, highly highly recommended!

Thank you very much for taking time to write a comment. I am happy to hear that you enjoyed your stay with us and we hope you will consider visiting us again. This issue is currently being addressed. Kind Regards Lukasz Dwornik More

“Excellent hotel in the wonderful town of Christchurch”

Reviewed 22 April 2013 via mobile

This hotel is situated right in the heart of Christchurch: overlooking a lovely green, and the ruins of an old Norman house and keep (excellent for a wander). Parking is right outside the hotel (although there isn't much space this doesn't seem to be an issue, and the staff were more than happy to help manoeuvre cars around!) the hotel... More

“An oasis in beautiful Christchurch”

Reviewed 12 April 2013

My husband hails from Dorset, but i'd never been to Christchurch, and in truth I booked the Kings Arms because it was a good location to meet up with the in-laws. Parking is more like practiced abandonment, space is at a premium but that's not your problem, magically your keys are handed over along with any worries. You can always... More

“One of the best restaurants in the area”

This is not my first review of this restaurant, however we went again with friends on Saturday night and truly deserves another mention. It was a very busy night but did not detract from the service, friendly & welcoming staff and most importantly the quality of the food. This is the sister restaurant to The Jetty (another must go to... More
