Some of the other reviews on here are nothing short of unbelievable in their cruelty and harshness,and I wish reviewers would see The Watersplash for what it is;a good quality,friendly, family run hotel in beautiful surroundings offering excellent food in a comfortable,homely and welcoming environment The staff are friendly and helpful and the high number of guests that return year...

We booked into the hotel as we were attending a party here in the evening. We arrived early and had a drink in the bar. Not really enough seats for everyone to be comfortable but we guessed they had removed some for the evening party. The building is dated and tired. Our room was ok, the decor was old and... More

We booked at short notice and arrived in the evening so the true state of the place wasn't immediately evident. Tried to pay on arrival with my American Express card as a large American Express sign was on the front door, but was told they didn't take it. I didn't question it at the time, but now realise the sign... More

Some of the reviews ive read below are not really justified. We usually stay at another hotel in Brockenhurst which was full this time when we enquired... Having read the reviews about The Watersplash we were a little nervous but decided to try the place - we're glad that we did! The place is dog friendly has a lovely little... More

My friend and I booked a last minute night away in the New Forest for ourselves, the blind girl she cares for and the dog!!!!! The Watersplash Hotel is a little old fashioned with regards to decor, but the service was good and all the staff were very helpful. We had a room which was plenty big enough for the... More

I have read a few of the reviews and feel they are a little harsh. This is not swanky boutique hotel or gastro pub. This is what English hotels used to be like. Friendly, understated and a little chaotic. The fixtures are indeed dated and the grouting is not as white as when it was new but the place is... More

I still feel very embarrassed for booking this place, even if I have plenty of excuses. We planned a long weekend in Dorset. A little paradise, which we booked, happened to be double booked for the first night, and, although we were offered absolutely amazing deal there, we still had to find a hotel for that night. I suggested: why... More

This hotel is shabby, stained and completely overpriced. We stayed here with several friends attending a party and I would consider us all fairly well travelled and used to varying quality of hotels. We all found it appalling. One of my friends found a hair in her breakfast - yeuk! Take a look at the website and you will see... More

This was my 1st trip to the New Forest, a few days away from work with Bobby (my Jack Russell). This hotel took me back to my 1980s childhood, but not in a fashionable retro way. Besides bed linen, towels and telly, everything else in my single room was broken or stained. Room was clean, but not serviced at all... More
