This has to be the best hotel I have stayed in for dog walking. It has a restaurant next door that serves excellent food sourced locally. A bit more expensive than a pub chain but well worth it. The same with the breakfast which was excellent. And the bonus is we could eat in the dog friendly area with our dog. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/8c7bed3e-cf01-480c-8633-2162cee94c08-1754734562693.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/5f25d539-eeaa-4437-be2c-e3266e688d44-1754734562230.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/8592747b-ea59-47c0-a28b-73f2029cc59b-1754734561958.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/34f03aac-00ba-459a-9811-2100a410a9eb-1754734562121.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Robert Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Jacob Sep 27, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness The retreat is quite an old building but nice inside. I was unaware of any lift indoors which made climbing stairs difficult for people with mobility challenges. ##### Jacob Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Julia Mar 9, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Lovely stay and easy drive to the beaches ##### Julia Stayed 1 night in Mar 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Jessica Aug 28, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Had a lovely stay here. It was very peaceful, the room was lovely and staff were good. Ate at the restaurant which was delicious and nice staff. Had a massage which was brilliant. The brewery was fantastic, definitely a highlight and only a couple minutes walk away. From other reviews, there were some cobwebs on the outside of the window but that really didn’t bother us. Overall, lovely place to stay. Nice and quiet! ![Room 3](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/32c2522d-78b1-4b67-9aa6-fccd2b744cef-1756365474300.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![The brewery](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/7433df84-24b1-4479-a7e1-6a9c0532584b-1756365474785.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Jessica Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Simon May 2, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### The Retreat is an excellent hotel Lovely relaxing stay, I was here to meet up with old friends in New Milton, the Retreat offered a nice base for rest and relaxation in a lovely setting ##### Simon Stayed 1 night in May 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Peter Sep 27, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort Food was excellent. Loads of secure parking spaces. My only complaint was that Room 3 didn't have a chest of drawers so that I could unpack. As an aside I was bitten to death by moquitos? on the night before I left {I believe it was a habit of the cleaning staff to leave the windows open a few inches during the day} ##### Peter Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Emma Jun 21, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Great property.

Nice grounds and walks available. Traffic a bit noisy but not too bad. Nice ambience. Easy parking. If we need to stay in that area in future I expect we'll go there. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jovette Aug 18, 2024 Amazing location where you can relax and have a peaceful stay ##### Jovette Stayed 1 night in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Gordon Feb 18, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Another great stay at this unique hotel—plenty of sockets for charging beside the bed. ##### Gordon Stayed 1 night in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Val Apr 18, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great stay, just what we wanted. We loved the self check-in, made everything very quick and easy. Room we absolutely fine, clean and comfortable. We were at the front so had a little road noise but it wasn’t a problem and we slept well. Plenty of parking so that’s always a bonus. Breakfast in the nearby Colin Nash restaurant was excellent. A really good full-English. Will definitely stay here again. ##### Val Stayed 1 night in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Keith Mar 21, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Super new forest retreat after fly in Cracking little gem for Bmth airport late arrival Flights. ##### Keith Stayed 1 night in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Phil Jul 25, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### 100% recommend Lovely place in the New Forest, easy to find but lives up to is name of "Retreat". Everything was really nice, bathroom was enormous with a large tub. Shower was blocked so avoided but didn't cause issues. When we did have an issue with the door it was sorted in person straightaway. Only marked down "comfort" because the mattress was too firm, but that's each to their own. ##### Phil Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Royal Whitby](https://www.expedia.ca/Whitby-Hotels-The-Royal-Hotel.h57917040.Hotel-Information) > > [Cave Hotel & Golf Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Faversham-Hotels-Cave-Hotel-Golf-Resort.h33410673.Hotel-Information) > > [Burgh Island Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Kingsbridge-Hotels-Burgh-Island-Hotel.h34611055.Hotel-Information) > > [Millcroft](https://www.expedia.ca/Penrith-Hotels-Millcroft.h26994538.Hotel-Information) > > [Barceló Huatulco - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Santa-Maria-Huatulco-Hotels-Barcelo-Huatulco-All-Inclusive.h869970.Hotel-Information) > > [The Greenway Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Cheltenham-Hotels-The-Greenway-Hotel-Spa.h520203.Hotel-Information) > > [Courtyard by Marriott Toronto Mississauga/West](https://www.expedia.ca/Toronto-Hotels-Courtyard-By-Marriott-Toronto-MississaugaWest.h16656863.Hotel-Information) > > [The Porch House](https://www.expedia.ca/Cheltenham-Hotels-The-Porch-House.h4595892.Hotel-Information) > > [Lakes Hotel and Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Windermere-Hotels-Lakes-Hotel-And-Spa.h901040.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Tofino](https://www.expedia.ca/Tofino-Hotels.d6094955.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Four Seasons Hotel Hampshire](https://www.expedia.ca/Hook-Hotels-Four-Seasons-Hotel-Hampshire.h986107.Hotel-Information) > > [Radisson Hotel Manchester City Centre, A Verified Net Zero Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Manchester-Hotels-Park-Inn-By-Radisson-Manchester-City-Centre.h2601411.Hotel-Information) > > [Pine Lake Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Carnforth-Hotels-Pine-Lake-Resort.h1928661.Hotel-Information) > > [Courtyard by Marriott Montreal Downtown](https://www.expedia.ca/Montreal-Hotels-Courtyard-By-Marriott-Montreal-Downtown.h6059201.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Vancouver](https://www.expedia.ca/Vancouver-Hotels.d178315.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Holiday Inn Hull Marina by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Hull-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Hull-Marina.h10609.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn London-Gatwick Airport by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Horley-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-London-Gatwick-Airport.h16918.Hotel-Information) > > [Cheap Hotels in Honolulu](https://www.expedia.ca/Honolulu-Hotels-Cheap-Hotels.0-0-d1488-tCheapHotels.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [All Inclusive Resorts and Hotels in Bermuda](https://www.expedia.ca/Destinations-In-Bermuda-All-Inclusive-Hotel.0-0-d20-tAllInclusiveHotel.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [The Belfry](https://www.expedia.ca/Birmingham-Hotels-The-Belfry.h3976.Hotel-Information) > > [Delta Hotels by Marriott Heathrow Windsor](https://www.expedia.ca/Slough-Hotels-Heathrow-Windsor-Marriott-Hotel.h3830.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Cancun (CUN)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/cun/toronto-to-cancun) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Ponta Delgada (PDL)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/pdl/toronto-to-ponta-delgada) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Las Vegas (LAS)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/las/toronto-to-las-vegas) ### Cars ### Packages
