My wife and I stayed here for a week and had a very enjoyable stay. Staff were excellent and friendly nothing was too much trouble. We had room 3 which overlooked the garden. We eat in the restaurant during our stay as we had taken advantage of the dinner when we booked, the food was good. Coupled with a short... More

We recently had occasion to visit Christchurch and chose the Waterford Lodge because of their website presentation. The place looked nothing like the photo's on the website, a lot of "photo-shopping" had obviously been utilized, it is the last time I let the home page picture help me decide on a hotel. The shower was blocked, there was only one... More

Stayed here after booking at the last minute as my husband suddenly had to work over the bank holiday weekend. Arrived not expecting a great deal especially after reading some negative reviews on trip advisor. Check-in staff very friendly and welcoming. Arrived in our superior room which was very light and bright and even had a massage chair which was... More

Room was really good as were the reception staff but the restaurant lets the hotel down, at best its mediocre. The hotel make a big play of all food freshly cooked and that you will have to wait around half an hour, so based on that you do have great expectations. Sadly the restaurant doesn't live up to them as... More

The place was clean and we had a reasonable breakfast but very everything basic and cheap.I wouldn't stay at the hotel again - you would get better... More

I booked this hotel as a surprise for our wedding anniversary and the whole experience was extremely poor. The so called "superior" room that I booked was dirty and pokey and cetyainly not worth the £170.00 per night price tag. The lights didn't work, the TV was in such an awkward place it was impossible to watch, the massage chair... More

Dear Mr Ager Thank you for your comments, I do feel I have to point out to you that you are wrong are several items that you raised. 1. You checked in to the hotel early and as such had most of the day in your bedroom, if you were not happy why did you not say anything or request... More
