“Fisherman's Haunt exudes a certain historical charm dating back to 1673, a property steeped in local character near the New Forest. It's the sort of place where you can bring your dog, enjoy pub dining, and find yourself conveniently located near Christchurch and its surrounding nature.

surprisingly good stay!

bathroom size dog area
The room featured an area suitable for my dog. This worked out great. the bathroom was a really good size. i also found the breakfast very good. Restaurants were also nearby.
i found i wasn't informed of fire escape routes. there was also no room cleaning information provided. the windows only opened a small amount because the building is old, i guess this couldn't be helped.

Really good Staff and Great Food

early check-in fresh products generous filling
The staff let us check in early, which helped greatly as we needed to attend a local wedding. Breakfast in the bar area included fresh, good products. The sandwiches contained a generous filling. I could only manage half of it.

The restaurant served an excellent Sunday roast. It was very tasty and filling. I found the staff to be friendly, though not intrusive. The hotel also serves a great pint of Gales HSB.
