What guests think

Rhinefield House Hotel is praised for its beautiful historic building and tranquil New Forest setting, with many guests highlighting friendly, attentive staff, comfortable rooms with views, and enjoyable dining, plus attractive grounds and an outdoor heated pool for relaxing.

The secluded location suits long walks and wildlife spotting, and several reviews mention thoughtful touches for families and dogs. Drawbacks include occasional understaffing with slow bar or breakfast service and some dishes served lukewarm; a number of guests found the spa and indoor pool small, tired, or cold. Some rooms feel dated, can run warm, or pick up noise during events; overall this is a characterful forest retreat for relaxed stays.

Had a really nice stay here. Great location for visiting the new forrest and surrounding area. Beautiful property with lots of character and the room was very nice and comfortable. Spa area was a little tired, but great to have the facilities to unwind after a walk in the forrest.

Lovely place but the spa wasn’t good. Too small and you are misled on the facilities. The gym, changing rooms and pool were tiny and tired. Nowhere to relax. However the hotel was lovely. Needs another bar/lounge. The grounds and the area were beautiful! Staff excellent and beautifully trained. A few stood out…Darren and Tom in the bar, Tom Ly and Maria in the reception and Jerry at breakfast were memorable for their excellent service/manner.

Beautiful hotel in amazing settings. Our first stay here and we visit the New Forest every year. We won’t be staying anywhere else in the future. Lovely atmosphere, excellent food and wine, lovely gardens and the service was outstanding. Plus ev charger so we left with a full charge for the next leg of our journey!

Beautiful hotel and grounds around it. We upgraded to the superior room, a very spacious room and the beautiful forest view. Armada restaurant food and staff were 5*. Robert & Alex especially made us very welcome. Thank you Spa facilities were nice, pool smaller than we expected however it wasn't busy.

We have stayed at Rhinefield many times over the years it is a great hotel. Sadly there is recent evidence of cost cutting with a number of facilities including the indoor pool, hot tub, sauna and steam room all closed and without notifying guests who have already booked

The hotel was in an amazing position, in a very quiet part of the forest, and very good for wild life spotting. Room was very comfortable, clean and right on the edge of the forest. Food and drinks, to a high standard, served by friendly but professional staff both in the Armada and Conservatory restaurants. Very nice outdoor heated swimming pool with sun loungers available. Stayed for 4 nights. Would definitely stay again.

Arrived on Saturday afternoon in wonderful April sunshine. Staff were very helpful during check in. Room was well stocked with drinks and snacks with a view over the forest. Rooms starting to look dated and worn. Outdoor pool was 30oC so we tested it out after a mornings walking. The building is impressive. The gardens nicely laid out, but in need of some tlc.

Stayed for one night in an executive room as a birthday treat. All staff were exceptionally attentive and friendly. Nice pool, gym and sauna experience and the food was delicious in the bar. Didn't eat in the restaurant as not much choice for vegans. The room had lots of complimentary drinks and snacks which was a lovely surprise. We shall definitely go back.

This hotel is absolutely lovely. Amazing building and grounds, set in the heart of the New Forest. Food and service is excellent. It was my daughters 6th birthday and the house keeping team left her a teddy and balloon in our room for when we arrived and she was so happy. Children are very welcome at this hotel. The rooms are spacious and beds extremely comfy. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this hotel and we will be back.

Took our two boys and they loved the grounds. The indoor pool was a bit cold, only thing that let the day down, ow, the rooms are really warm even with the a/c you can only turn to 16 degrees but I don’t think that’s actually a true reflection of the temperature. It was only April and the kids slept without covers. I dread to know that those rooms feel like in the summer months.

Had we have known there was a wedding we probably would have avoided the hotel, lots of guests and quite noisy during the day with the guests dominating most of the hotel areas and gardens. After listening to somebody snoring in the room for most of the night through what seemed to be a paper thin ceiling which was unfortunate coupled with a good breakfast albeit served relatively cold was disappointing. Was this room at almost £300 pounds for one night worth the value? absolutely no way.

A real treat for us as we don't normally go for places like this. Wonderful building and an excellent 2 night stop-over on a week long tour. Everything you might expect from such a hotel and the thing we will remember most were the staff. It is clear that the training regime is first class and this showed throughout.

I paid £373 for a Superior room. It was over-priced. At that price I expected something special. It was not. While the decor was in good condition it’s appearance was dated. To get to the room you had to ascend steps under a low beam, hardly the impression you’d expect. We waited a long time for our drinks to be served in the bar, which was not busy. We waited 40 minutes to be served our starters in the conservatory restaurant. My salt and pepper squid was tasteless. We waisted almost as long for the main course. Only one waitress had to serve all the diners.

We had great food, both casual and formal dining. The location is truly buried in the forest, peaceful and great for walking. A true sanctuary get away.
