Arrived slightly late but still greeting by owner. Room was spacious and luxurious but does need some TLC. Beautiful balcony overlooking wonderful spacious gardens, small pool, jacuzzi and sauna.
Breakfast was excellent, staff were very friendly, helpful and respectfully distant.
Had a great meal at The Bear of Burton (two doors away). Great distance from Christchurch (6 minutes). Would stay again.

Gorgeous house sitting next to a farm. Not location I thought it would be on the map as there is a dual carriageway between it and Christchurch town. A local told me we could have walked down the road and over the footbridge into centre within 20mins. Wasn't told this and there was no local info said to us nor written, only plugging local eaterie in which they have an interest. However the house itself is gorgeous, Havilland room fabulous, massive bed, opulent decor, spacious open bathroom with roomy shower and sink. The room has a balcony overlooking the big garden with splash pool, so nice to sit in an evening. Really vould have been abroad with the gorgeous weather we had. The Bear of Burton and Oak Inn are short walk for dinner. Food ok in both. Nice country smells and noises from next door cows which reminded me of home!

The owner and staff were incredibly lovely and accommodating, especially as we needed an early check-in to prepare for our wedding that day. They went above and beyond to ensure everything was seamless for us.

The stunning interior decor and the delicious breakfast truly added to our special day. Being just down the road from our wedding venue in Sopley, it was the perfect location. Thank you so much for helping to make our wedding day so perfect!

Lovely setting but some areas need attention

B & B in a beautiful setting, perfect location for the coast and New Forest. Attractive building and gardens with swimming pool. Really good breakfast selection with homemade preserves. Just felt some of the attention to detail was lacking. The area around our room was tired, the patio slabs looked like they needed a good clean and the door lock seemed very flimsy, the 2 armchairs weren’t that clean. Plus the ashtray on the patio table still had cigarette ends in it. It’s a shame because it could’ve been the perfect stay.

The property is on the shabby side of chic. Garden area feels unloved.

Nice welcome from Maggie, the proprietor, who showed us our room. Very large room with lovely views to the rear and the extensive gardens, pool and other areas. The room was however very tired looking and needing attention, the shower valve needed replacing and didn’t work properly, the foot of the bed was threadbare and the balcony furniture old and rusty, having said this the room did have a certain charm. Breakfast was ok, the cooked breakfast was acceptable, the buffet very disappointing with very little available. The two staff seemed pleasant, we didn’t see Maggie again. The house had so much character and with a little effort and money spent could be vastly improved. The gardens, outside cabins and pool areas again all needed attention.

We had a really lovely time over the Easter weekend. The property and the grounds are beautiful but a little bit tired in places, which only really added to the look. The housekeeper who greeted us was so lovely and welcoming and our room was fantastic. It was a really unusual space and we had a huge balcony which we enjoyed. The only downside was on the first night we struggled to get any hot water for a shower, but after asking for some help the housekeeper came and sorted it for us.
The breakfast was lovely and there was lots of choice.
All in all, a really good stay

We really liked Cedar House and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. It is an older property which comes with its quirks (but that's also why we preferred it to the soulless hotel chains). The furnishings and paintings made it feel homely and warm. Staff were lovely, the breakfast was great and it was a pleasure to sit out in the garden for some peace and quiet. The pub, almost next door, serves good evening meals. It was also a great base for exploring the area - we had never heard of, but really liked, Hengistbury Head which is only a few miles away.

It’s all looking a bit tired , unfortunately the web photos are better than reality , which is a shame as it wouldn’t take much to bring the place up to standard. The room had a damp smell each day and the shower had black mould on the ceiling …
Overall the rooms and furnishings were very nice and as said wouldn’t take too much to raise the standard, with a bit of decoration and maintenance.

This is an interesting B and B with lots of character set in plenty of grounds / garde The pool is a nice touch and breakfast arguably the best bit. Our suite was spacious, nicely furnished and with tea/coffee making facilities. I was a bit disappointed to observe that it looked tired in some areas and I felt it needed quite a bit of TLC and attention to detail on the environmental painting, decorating and maintenance front. For this reason I feel it was over priced and didn't meet my expectations. That said it is a beautiful place if you can see past this, which I did and I am sure you would do too.

Lovely hotel

Lovely hotel and really attentive staff. Breakfast was delicious. Pool and gardens were a big bonus. Balcony was nice too.

Just a few small things that need addressing. Some of the lights in our room needed replacing and some bulbs had been taken out and not replaced either. Also providing some slippers and dressing gowns would be a simple win.

For the cost I would have thought you might have had some biscuits in the room. The toilet paper was very thin & needed to be upgraded. The bed was very comfortable but the carpets needed a very good clean. The breakfast was great & the staff were very friendly & helpful. I don’t think I would revisit. I think you might get better value elsewhere

The garden is huge, but there is so much potential to improve, & make it absolutely fantastic. Room was a big let-down. It was very shabby, and not so much chic - the patio door looked like it had been repurposed from somewhere else with cut-outs for the lock to make it fit, a large fig tree blocked most of the views of the garden.
The bathroom initially looked very smart, however, there was no heating in it, so wet towels stayed wet (apparently only changed every three days) the shower drain did not drain, & I had to use my foot as a plunger to get the water to drain, otherwise the shower tray would have overflowed. A water tank appeared to be sited above our bed, and during the night, it could be heard constantly dripping - not very relaxing at all.
Breakfast had to be pre-ordered the night before, but they lost our order sheets, and blamed us for not filling it in, although they had the second days order sheet? Think FAWLTY TOWERS, and you probably won't be too far off the mark. If you like that kind of accomodation, you will love it, otherwise stay away, it is way overpriced.

Burton hideaway

We had the 'Room at the Top' which was probably not as good as the rest of the accommodation at this hotel-needed work to bring it up to boutique standard. Breakfast excellent & service good so we've rated it as OK. May not go again here, only booked it as we needed somewhere near Mudeford to stay for a few days. Easy parking but not easy to see any traffic when exiting the car park.
