Rhinefield House Hotel

We stayed here for our anniversary and had exceptional service from start to finish! We stayed in the Munro suite which was a very large room with separate living room. The bathroom is also very spacious and felt luxurious. Staff had decorated our room with a banner and balloon which we thought was a lovely touch! We ate at both the conservatory and the armada restaurant during our stay, and the food was absolutely incredible! We both said the armada restaurant was one of the best meals we have had in a very long time! |We had a few drinks in the bar, and staff were always very attentive and polite. We would definitely recommend this hotel and can’t wait to return!!

Beautiful hotel and staff were always very friendly, offering to show you to anywhere within the hotel even when they were in the middle of something. Excellent service. Spa facilities are decent. The rooms are pretty spacious and comfortable. Afternoon tea was also very good, great selection and great service.

We had a two night break here and absolutely loved it! The hotel itself is beautiful and set in and around some gorgeous scenery. We did some lovely walks and even hired bikes to explore the area. We ate all meals in the hotel and all were delicious. Breakfast was fabulous, lots of choice and beautifully cooked. The sandwiches and cream teas at lunch were so good and both dinners were excellent quality with loads of options to choose from. We even managed a swim in the outdoor pool, had lovely spa treatments and truly felt relaxed after our 48 hours in the New Forest. I will say I saved the best for last- the staff!! Everyone was wonderful, nothing too much trouble and so helpful and kind. Liz on the reception was especially wonderful, as was Dan in the bar area.

Thank you for an amazing 60th birthday party with 13 family in the beautiful Alhambra private dining room. The food was excellent, catering to all complex needs (sorry!). The staff were so helpful, kind and accommodating. The booking process was easy. Highly recommend|Walker suite is possibly the most wonderful room we have ever stayed in

We recently stayed here and couldn’t fault it. The building and grounds are beautiful, the staff were attentive, rooms were well equipped and the breakfast that was included was amazing. We also got engaged here so it’s extra special to us now, and the staff helped my partner pull this off. We’ll definitely be back. :)

Amazing weekend here. Staff was friendly and accommodating. Room was very comfortable - bed and pillows were heaven. Special note that the milk and cookies for our son were an added bonus. Breakfast and Sunday roast lunch was amazing. Staff could not have been better at an accommodating our large family group. The grounds are gorgeous and next time will make sure I book a spa treatment and have a swim.

We had a great weekend in the new Forrest. |The hotel is lovely and the staff are very welcoming and professional.|The breakfast was amazing with an excellent choice. We had a meal in the bar and this was also outstanding.|One of the best hotels we have stayed in.|It was a special birthday and the staff put some special gifts in the room.

Our stay at Rhinefield House Hotel was truly magical. The building itself is stunning, and the setting couldn’t be more peaceful. Our room was beautiful, spotless, and full of thoughtful touches to celebrate our special occasion. The staff were outstanding - so friendly, professional, and genuinely eager to make sure everything was perfect for us. We were so well looked after from the moment we arrived until the moment we left.

Just stayed here for two nights and would say that it was a practically perfect time. From the moment you arrive you are made to feel like royalty and that feels like nothing once you experience the dinner service (in the Armada, not the Brasserie). The 'classic' rooms might not have had a 'wow' factor, but were comfortable and well-equipped enough for a 4 star, just. The real wow factor comes from the rest of the hotel. The building and grounds are simply magnificent and have been renovated to a wonderful standard. There's a spa area, perfect for a morning dip and a bubbling jaccuzi perfect for easing aching muscles after cycling around the New Forest. I would agree with the other reviewer (Kekepania) however, that as wonderful as the breakfast should be on paper, the staff just don't seem as 'on-it' as they are during dinner. The plates weren't cleared away correctly (witnessed for other guests too!), and the breakfast staff sometimes forgot or mixed up guest requests. That doesn't overshadow the brilliance of this place however and I would definitely recommend it. If you can afford it, it would also make a stunning wedding venue.

I must say that I was very impressed with this hotel from the moment I got there until the moment I left. It is in a lovely location in the New Forest and is breathtaking to look at. It looks like a huge castle, very impressive. The rooms were spacious and decorated well, was very relaxing and the bed was very comfortable. The bars were quite expensive but was to be expected in a place like this. The grounds were amazing and we were lucky to sit by the big pond and have afternoon tea. The breakfast wasn't too great but I am a fussy eater and like a full english but the service was amazing, the staff were very helpful and attentive.

We visited Rhinefield House for a friends wedding and it is a stunning location. We spent time on the terrace buying drinks from the bar. It's more expensive than the general area but you are in a 4-star in the middle of the new forest. It's still not as expensive as London though. The wedding breakfast food was delicious, roasted pepper, tomato and basil soup followed by a daube of beef which was amazing. The portions were on the small side and we were all a bit disappointed as it was so nice and we had waited quite a while for it. The service should have been quicker and we were left wondering what was going to happen next between courses. The vanilla cheesecake dessert was also a winner, with a couple of raspberries on the side. The kids option was a fruit salad which only 2 of the 4 kids on our table ate, followed by chicken nuggets and fries. The fries were very dry as were the nuggets, which is probably why the kids didn't enjoy them. Plain ice-cream for desserts was also a disappointment. The evening buffet was also classy; tasty ribs, wraps, and sandwiches. Nothing microwaved in sight. The venue is beautiful and the service didn't stop us having a fab time. We didn't stay the night so can't comment on the rest of the wedding party's stay.

Appalling - a horrible experience. We all got food poisoning from the restaurant. To add insult to injury, when we checked out we were presented with a bill for the meal that had sickened us. When this was challenged, a very surly manager said that the incident was merely an allegation. I guess we were faking the nausea and the diarrhea. This is a pretentious, nasty place. A sort of Fawlty Towers without the humor. Don't waste your time or money here. It's awful, offensive, filthy and they treat their customers with contempt. Yuk.

3 visits over 3 years and each time we have been very pleased to return. Fantastic location and a breathtaking exterior, it is easy to feel overwhelmed when arriving at Rhinefield House. The interior is equally impressive with the bar area overlooking the huge pond. The grounds are worthy of an exploration whatever the time of year! Rooms are spacious and well designed, with the quirky edge of being named rather than given numbers. Your do not disturb sign is a little cuddly pony which again makes you feel rather warm inside! Dinner has never been a disappointment - the food is extremely well cooked, presented beautifully and accompanied with rather delicious wine. Breakfast is of a good standard but perhaps always a disappointment after the delights of dinner the night before. I will return here year after year - an amazing hotel.

My husband and I jointly own Jacqui Marie Wedding Photography and would thoroughly recommend Rhinefield as a wedding venue. The photographic possibilities, inside and out, are fabulous.

Beautiful grounds in a lovely location. Rooms were spacious and decor very well presented. The food was of very good standard, and the staff very warm and helpful. Would go back time and time again, hopefully in the summer when weather is warmer although I was there in February, nothing could detract from the delightful surroundings.
