We`ve been coming to this hotel for years and it still remains one of our firm favourites. Friendly staff, comfortable room, beautiful gardens and great food. To sit outside for breakfast on a beautiful May morning is nearly worth the price alone! One small niggle is that we had problems with the service of our evening meals. On the Saturday... More

We stayed at this hotel as we were going to a wedding. Upon arrival, reception was a bit chaotic since lots of people were checking in for the wedding and most of the rooms were not ready. The only place offered to get changed in was the Spa, which was boiling hot with very high humidity, so really glad we... More

We made a last minute decision to get away for the weekend as the weather appeared to promise some sunshine and booked a room at one of our favourite hotels. The Solent rarely disappoints and once again we had a wonderful stay. The staff welcomed us back by name and made us feel part of what appears to be a... More

The Solent Hotel and Spa has potential. It is essentially a large business hotel which specialises during the week in conferences and at the weekends in large functions and weddings. If you want a small, intimate and quiet break then this probably isn't the place. We didn't get off to the best start here with reception. We were not given... More

3 of us visited the spa for a birthday treat. We were looking forward to relaxing by the pool, sauna-ing and just being pampered. The spa section was great and very calming. All our treatments - massage, facial and fish foot spa were handled professionally and with serenity. It was lovely. However, the calmness was broken whenever we wanted to... More

We have just returned from a family weekend stay at this hotel and did not want to come home. It is in beautiful surroundings and the hotel had a wonderful spa and the kids loved the swimming pool. There were some lovely touches laid on e.g. when we arrived back to our room in the evening milk and cookies had... More

As you drive up to the hotel the first thing that struck me was the amount of car parking available which was great. It also gives you an indication of the size of the hotel and how busy it is. When entering the hotel you are greeted with a sign above the hotel saying "Welcome to the Solent Hotel" which... More

Thank you for posting a review following your stay. I note some aspects of your stay did not quite exceed your expectations and I am in the process of rectifying those points raised. Regarding the bar floor, we are shortly to replace the whole bar flooring due so your patience whilst we schedule these works are very much appreciated. Kind... More

Could not fault the hotel-lovely room, convenient location, fantastic food, great staff and lovely spa. Had dinner at the hotel and it was delicious-definatly recommend the chocolate tart! I often struggle to sleep in hotels but had the best night's sleep in a long time. Every member of staff we came across seemed genuinely happy to work there, and Danielle... More

Stayed here on with two other couples as we all had a company function the next day. We used the pool and gym on the afternoon and were impressed with the facilities and presentation. The food and wine the evening was well above the standard hotel fare. Only small downsides for me was the very disappointing beer which fell well... More

Thank you for your post following your stay. It was pleasing to read that you enjoyed your stay although I note your comments regarding the quality of our ale. We are owned by Daniel Thwaites which produces an excellent and a diverse range of beers so naturally I was concerned to note that you felt there were below par. Rest... More
