Rhinefield House Hotel Review

Super

Don't forget to check out the Al Hambra Room

Very interesting place in New Forest. You can eat a dinner or just drink a coffe . Everyone should visit this places and learn the stories of former residents of this hotel.

An incredible venue for weddings or indeed a weekend break. A spectacular building set in stunning grounds deep into the New Forest. Whilst I didn't stay overnight I've heard room prices are pricey but then if that was your concern I'm sure you'll find a Premier Inn next to a busy road somewhere . If you're hunting for somewhere to get married, this place ticks all the boxes and you should definitely opt for their toastmaster, he earns every penny and brings a very special touch to an already special event.

Highly impressive hotel, great venue. Awesome grounds.
Lovely location in the New Forest.
Staff service is very good.

We stayed recently and had a wonderful stay. Great food, excellent service and our room overlooked the woodland.

Highly recommended,

Top hotel.

Many thanks

Breath taking wedding venue in the New Forest, stunning location, amazing organisation and incredible food.

Excellent location. Very friendly staff. So cosy in lounge. We haven't stayed over yet

An amazing bacon sandwich, easily the best I've had, with beautiful gardens to enjoy it in too

Wonderful venue and location for our wedding, the Walker suite was so incredible - the bathtub is . Food in the fine dining restaurants was delicious. Thanks to Phil and the whole team for making it work for us while staying within the government guidelines and keeping us safe!

Beautiful surroundings. Beautiful house. The staff are pleasant. The quality of some of the food is not great. Overall a gold venue. Been for weddings and corporate events.

Fantastic hotel with lovely charm and amazing staff. Food is exceptional and the taste is amazing. Lovely rooms and a grand charm to this hotel. Modern Spa also within the grounds. Plenty of free parking. Wi-Fi included. Highly recommend.

Attended my Sister's wedding here new year's day. Exclusive use of the hotel, I found the reception staff, bar staff and the chef I dealt with very helpful.
However, food service was pretty poor. Canapes were whisked passed us without a glance and we only managed one bite after chasing down a server- who said he'd be back. With the crumbs. After serving the same people who had just been served. They need training in how to circulate a room correctly. Dinner was slow and arrived tepid. In the morning, buffet breakfast was a complete disaster. Nothing filled up except for tomatoes and mushrooms, which didn't need filling. Juices not refilled. Cutlery not correctly laid out. No one serving coffee- in fact I couldn't grab a member of staff, and mid chase realised the pots had been stuffed to the side. I ended up serving coffee for everyone.
Rooms were well appointed, but the heating/ cooling was hit and miss. Was glad to find extra quilts and robes in the wardrobe.
I hope this was down to it being new year's day- but nevertheless, for an establishment like Rhinefield and the cost, they fell well below the bar.

We went for afternoon tea as it was a friends 40th birthday. The service was terrible, very long waits for food/drinks to arrive, beds being given wheeled through the dining area! We were cramped around a very small coffee table which made it very uncomfortable to eat and the cakes were definitely not home made!

A beautiful location with really first class facilities with staff who seem to have wandered in from the 2 star guestguest house nearby. Having stayed at Rhinefield once before about 3 years ago it's such a shame to see how the standards have slipped. Our reservation was wrong and the receptionist simply shrugged and couldn't care less. The bar staff casually having a chat whilst surrounded by dirty tables still had time to berate a fellow guest who dained to use a clean napkin to clean his glassed after a sudden downpour outside. I could go on.

I have stayed in a number of 4 & 5 star venues around the world over the last few years, including others in this chain, and this location was one of the most disappointing.

That said the building was beautiful, like the backdrop from a photo shoot, the rooms were well laid out and well appointed and most of the food was reasonable. We have have just arrived on a bad day...

Incredible site, located in the New Forest natural park. A forest of which you always thought existed in England.

I was staying at Rhinefield House Hotel for a murder mystery weekend, and I had a great time. The event itself was great (run by The Killing Game) and the venue was perfect. A historic house in a beautiful setting of the New Forest. Not especially near to any big town so far as I can tell, but a lovely place - would love to go back for a walking holiday. The rooms were lovely, the staff efficient and helpful, the food in the restaurant was really great - both for dinner and breakfast. No complaints at all.

I booked an executive double room for my wife's birthday with breakfast and diner as part of a package.
The whole experience from booking, arrival the food and the room was amazing.
The room was superb, loads of floor space all the storage even milk in the fridge.
The bathroom had a huge bath with a TV build into the wall and a great separate shower cubicle.
The staff were excellent from beginning to end.
Its location is superb with multiple walks around the new forest starting at the gates to the drive.
I couldn't recommend this Hotel any higher. 5*'s

Beautiful grounds and a very pleasant place for an afternoon lunch.

Hotel is an amazing building. Nice area surrounding the hotel. We enjoyed the gardens and walk around the estate.

Has a rapid charging point.

Beautiful location in the new forest staff are so helpful the rooms so clean. comfortable bed . Loved it there .

Beautiful hotel with comfortable lounge. Beautiful Alhambra private dining room. Attractive gardens.

Amazing place! comfortable beds! Fabulous views! Great customer service! Highly recommended!

Will definitely be coming back!

Wonderful night away. Our room, dinner and breakfast were all of a very high standard. Would definitely come back again.

We visited this lovely hotel for the first time a few weeks ago to celebrate our Ruby Wedding Anniversary with family. The forest location is beautiful and the Alhambra private dining room exquisite! We were all very impressed with the the Moorish workmanship which, together with our own Spanish classical music soundtrack, provided the perfect setting for our delicious meal. A day to remember!

Everything perfect. A great place to relax and treat yourself to a good rest.

I have been here only three times over the past few years and each time (as it is a lovely setting) I hope that the quality of the food and service is better than the previous. However, they never seem to improve. Today we had lunch and after politely pointing out to the waitress that the figs served in the salad were mouldy, she initially politely apologised and asked us if we wanted anything else. However when she came back to take the payment, she told us that she had shown the chef and he didn't think it was mouldy. It was grey and furry, but even if we were mistaken I would never tell the customer that they are wrong and would have given a discount off the bill. We also observed later that not all ingredients listed on the menu for each dish we ordered actually arrived. We always find the waiting staff to be quite slow and don't show you where to go when you arrive dispite there being several eating areas, which is a tad awkward rather than welcoming. It's a beautiful setting, it's a shame they can't just up the standards.

I was married here, beautiful old building with an interesting history. We recently visited in a nostalgic trip and we attempted to get service on the patio but unfortunately the staff have made an art of avoiding eye contact. It appears standards have slipped. We have very fond memories of this hotel , just not this time.

Location is in the heart of the new forest, rooms were lovely service was really helpful as was there for a wedding

Beautiful setting..beautiful house.. Lovely staff.. Very good food. Thank them all for a lovely day.. My grand daughters wedding..

A gem, old charm, great service, very friendly helpful staff, the food is excellent, and the room was spacious and well appointed, the spa was small but quite and had a feel of luxaury. I will be back and great place in the new forest

As a regular visitor I always enjoy my visits here. My wife and I stay here nearly every year and are never disappointed. When and if there are any issues they are always quickly and professionally resolved. We live nearby so also like to just park up and walk around the grounds and have a coffee in the bar area. Highly rcommended.

Delicious afternoon tea with a lovely waitor today and fantastic measurements in place for covid.

Sadly very tired, food was not much, spa was just old and not what it promised, sorry to say. Setting and building is great

Beautiful place, we saw a wedding there when we were visiting. Nice place to have a time share.

The location of the hotel is good, the restaurant service is not very good, always on the wrong dish

Beautiful country house hotel in wonderful surroundings. Simply stunning with wonderfully attentive staff.

Lovely place to stay the staff very efficient and the food excellent in all restaurants

Nice place to dine and relax in New Forest. Great food.

Absolutely wonderful. The fine dining perfect. Nothing is too much trouble for any of the staff. Every where is maintained and cleaned to a high standard.

Very nice hotel and rooms. Over priced drinks and one member of staff needed some serious training. Very rude indeed. If she was on my payroll she would of been sacked

We stayed at the hotel over the early May Day bank holiday weekend to celebrate a friends birthday.
What a beautiful hotel set in idyllic surroundings. Everything about the hotel was superb. The artichecture, the grounds, cleanliness, room qualty and cleanliness. We can't speak highly about the staff who were professional, helpful and courteous.
The food was tasty and well presented.
Can't recommend the hotel enough.

Wonderful place full of atmosphere! Staff very friendly

Super food in The Grill Room. - best lemon tart ever!

Nice hotel in a picturesque part of the world. I stayed at the hotel for the New Forest Marathon and was very pleased with the place.

Stunning. A beautiful place and food was amazing. Staff was so attentive

Great Hotel. You get what you pay for. Good food clean friendly and professional staff. As for the scenery, very beautiful. A well organized retreat.

I imagine its a beautiful place but after calling multiple times over several weeks which is how I was told to book, no one answered. I emailed again only to be told it was now apparently booked.

So if you can get hold of them then it might be a nice place to go!

This hotel looks great on the outside but unfortunately that is as far as the positives go. Breakfast poor, tea and coffee both undrinkable, rooms dark and shabby. I also have to say not the cleanest hotel I have been in. The location is nice, set in the New Forest

This was a surprise for our Wedding Anniversary and it was superb from beginning to end. The evening meal was absolutely gorgeous and the choice for breakfast was so overwhelming and so much choice. The staff were very friendly and helpful. A place I would love to return too,and next time I will remember my swimming costume for the spa. ..

Amazing food and romantic settings, the service was A star

A beautiful, tranquil venue for Afternoon Tea. A must when you visit the New Forest. Dont forget to pro-book.

A lovely hotel set in fantastic grounds. The food is delicious and service really first class. A great place to treat yourself.

Lovely hotel in a beautiful place. Drinks a bit expensive and good ok.

Only popped in for a drink at the restaurant. Service was fantastic, and the outdoor area is amazing. They even have a full height maze for you to get lost in. Fantastic.

Brief overnight stay. Helpful cheerful staff. Quiet restful setting.

An excellent choice for a Saturday lunch with friends.

Beautiful gothic style country house hotel and time share. Great for a drink in the summer by the fish pond just watch the wasps!

Very beautiful property that hide in the new forest. We go to there for afternoon tea sometimes. Very good food, tea and great service!

Absolutely overdelivered from start to finish.

Very welcoming, help with luggage, shown to well-appointed room. Walking recommendations. Great cocktails. Amazing inclusive breakfast. Comfortable beds. Beautiful garden. We'll be back!

Very friendly, helpful and polite staff. The hotel is extremely comfortable and very picturesque in beautiful surroundings. Good restaurant choices and lovely food.

Lovely venue for a friend's wedding. Service quick and polite and food well cooked and presented

We had a brilliant stay there.It is a beautiful place and the staff were totally professional and couldn't do enough for us. We can't wait to go there again .

Came here for our Christmas party last two years. Staff are always very nice and helpful. Rooms are in pristine condition. The grounds are really lovely even in winter. Food and drinks can be pricey but that's only to be expected. Breakfast could be a little better but isn't bad. All in all a great night and enjoyable stay each time.

Myself & my family booked afternoon tea at Rhinefield as part of a 3 day birthday celebration
This was on 11th July 2020 so we had only just come out of lockdown restrictions & Rhinefield were still running on limited staff, however the young man that looked after us & served us did so in the most exceplary manner he gave 100% service well done Tom! The cream tea was delicious & highly recommend the savoury option. Tom even brought a chocolate brownie in the most delightful patisserie box for my granddaughter to take home !
Please would the management give Tom a special pat on the back for being such a wonderful ambassador for your company
Many thanks Sandra Swain

Rooms are well kept. Bed was very comfortable! Dinner was excellent. Finding your way about the hotel can be difficult due to lack of signs. Staff are courteous and helpful.

Great new year party excellent food and lovely staff made this a very special event. Definitely go here again the restaurant is top quality.

Beautiful setting, great formal restaurant, spacious room, helpful staff
