One night stay

The hotel rooms are in desperate need of a refurb. Bathroom is outdated and signs of patch repairs everywhere. Plus side was that the room was quiet, cool and the bed very comfortable.
Not very appealing 🤨

Long weekend stay

The location and setting was perfect, very tranquil and peaceful. Enjoyed the walk around the picturesque golf course. Just what we wanted for the 4 night long weekend. Hotel, restaurant and golf club staff were very accommodating, polite, keen and very patient. However the Spa service was poor, no communication as to the treatment requirements or during the actual treatment, probably the worst massage I have had. The time period for the treatment was supposed to be 50 minutes but the masseuse left quietly after 35 minutes. Wouldn't recommend the Spa if visiting this hotel. The room was spacious and comfortable but does require some maintenance throughout. The hotel breakfast was spot on, but did have an issue with overcooked food for dinner, on the one night that we ate in the hotel restaurant, this was reported it to the head chef who assured us that the issue would be be investigated and rectified. The meals we had at the golf club house were found to be decent with no problems. Really enjoyed the facility and hotel ambience.

Sehr schöner ruhiger Ort. Hotel im altenglischen Stiel. Bungalowzimmer sind ziemlich groß. Perfekt ist Selborne für Golfspieler. Hervorragender 18 Lochplatz mit Golfclub direkt am Hotel. Green Fee für Hotelgäste ca. 15€ pro Runde. Wenn man mal ein paar Löcher mehr spielt interessiert das niemand. Umdoni, ein weiterer toller 18 Lochplatz liegt in direkter Nachbarschaft und kann, wenn vorhanden, sogar mit dem Cart erreicht werden.

We booked at the hotel was then moved to a villa due to east coast radios booking at the hotel. This was ok and I did not mind. However no tea or coffee, toiletpaper or any ameneties in the villa. We also could not have breakfast at the hotel for which I paid and had to take our breakfast at the club house. The lady there very friendly and helpful, but breakfast not great. I felt that we were done in somehow

We attended a wedding at hotel and booked into the Garden suites. The hotel is beautiful but does need a little TLC. The gardens, golf course and the scenery is great. It is a tranquil and relaxing setting. The staff were very pleasant, always helpful, they really tried to please. The rooms were comfortable and clean but in need of a revamp. Our overall experience was good and I would revisit this hotel in the future

Fantastic hotel in lovely surroundings

Reception staff were friendly and welcoming. The hotel is nicely decorated and has a variety of amenities including pool, tennis courts, games room and also a separate private area close to the beach (you have to drive), with a pool and secure area with a gate leading to the beach. Had a great time here - stayed 2 nights. Nice extras in the room - coffee machine, fridge, chairs + an outdoor seating area. We booked a room overlooking the fairway which was nice and of course we had to sample the golf course which I had booked from the UK through their website (not realising if you booked at the hotel you got a discount). Club hire selection wasn't brilliant but the course was amazing, very well kept, challenging and scenic. Would def recommend staying here, the only thing that let it down was the quality of the food (main course) at dinner so we only ate in the first night.
