The Avon Causeway in Christchurch

Went for Sunday dinner. Great food and atmosphere. Would definitely recommend.

Fabulous place for a one night stay prior to flying from Bournemouth airport.

Never been here before but will certainly come again.

The Lunch was excellent as well as the service. Have eaten here many times over the years.

Avon Causeway is a great place to stay. Comfortable rooms, very good food and friendly staff. If you are staying in the area or touring I would recommend this hotel. Also very good if you are catching a flight or travelling by ferry and need a stopover. Have stayed here 4 times now. Would not hesitate to stay here again.

Great meal and good selection of drinks. Well cooked roast pork with a decent portion size including veg and yorkshire.

Very nice Sunday lunch in this welcoming, dog friendly pub with great service. We will be back. Thank you.

Fantastic Sunday Roast, great service. I couldnt fault anything about this place… until One of the staff, may be even the manager came over to tell us off as we had let our kids (9-11) play in their play park whilst waiting flr food. Instead lf just telling us nicely that kids needed to be supervised by an adult, she went on to obnoxiously advise that it is clearly stated on the sign (beside the play park). Totally unnecessary attitude, we didnt know. Think this person needs to work on people skills.

Well looked after good food Daisy was loved by all. We had a nice 10th anniversary celebrations

A greatvplace ro visit, whether your local or on holiday.

Exceeded my expectations Staff were excellent and food was good

Lovely breakfast and really friendly staff who couldn’t do enough to help. I saw people eating lunch but we had a wedding to go to… it looked good!!!

Had a large family gathering and they were able to cater for all alleges. The food was amazing, with everyone ordering something different. The service was very good and all the staff were friendly and helpful. Will diffantly be going there again.

Amazing Inn - service and staff was great and friendly. The rooms were clean and offered all it is needed. We will definitely come back again. Thanks again for your hospitality.

We stayed for 1 night with our dog. It was a friendly welcoming place, the food was delicious and the room was cosy and immaculate. We will definitely be returning. Thank you.

Had a lovely weekend celebrating in laws 60th wedding anniversary . The food was lovely . The rooms were lovely . And the staff were excellent . Will definitely be coming back again .

Great Hotel in a great location, east access to New Forrest and beaches. Very comfortable clean rooms. Staff friendly and helpful, good food. Amanda and Sarah very welcoming and helpful.

We stayed for a weekend with the family and had a lovely time. The staff were lovely, the food was great and the building itself was gorgeous. Our room was so comfy and had been spotlessly cleaned! Really enjoyed our stay!

What an amazing B&B! We were on a short break to seaside and we found this gem! About 20 minutes away from Sandbanks Beach, with beautiful rooms, fresh milk and proper coffee. Superb food menu for evening and breakfast. Staff extremely friendly and helpful! Thank you for making our time so enjoyable!

Spent a night at the Avon Causeway with my family, 14 in total, to celebrate my parents 60th Anniversary. The rooms were very comfortable and spacious, and spotlessly clean. The staff were very polite, helpful and accommodating and the venue itself is pretty unique, with its setting, history and nod to its history. Could not fault the food, our evening meal and cooked breakfasts were delicious.

The location is fabulous, the team are amazing, totally dog friendly and the food is delicious!

I made a group booking for 5 rooms for a wedding and no one could fault our stay. Rooms were comfy and clean. Breakfast was amazing constantly making sure we had enough tea coffee and toast. It’s located really well for walks. If you have a wedding nearby then this is the place to stay

A really nice place in a lovely setting, good food and friendly staff and the rooms are nice

A reasonable if flat beer (pulling from a height is not the same as using a sparkler!), a nice pudding for two to share, and we sat in the sun next to a beautiful old railway carriage. A small pub chain they may be but I kinda liked it!

Stayed 1 night prior to a holiday flying from Bournemouth airport. Absolutely amazing! Staff were all so friendly and accommodating, beautiful pub and location. Food was superb and room was lovely. Plus free parking for a week and just a 5 minute taxi ride to the airport. Amazing value for money! 👍🏼 Can’t recommend enough.

I left my designer sunglasses on Sunday, and when I came back a few days later, a lady asked if I was the one who left them. I didn’t even realize I had lost my sunglasses. Such a nice and honest lady—thank you so much. The Sunday roast was amazing too. Very fast WiFi 🛜

Super friendly, helpful staff. Comfy rooms. Great food.

Love this place 2nd stay - Old Railway Station with mots of history from when it was a working line . Traditional Food & Breakfasts in the Restaurant

Came for a roast before our flight! Roast pork was 10/10! We ordered an extra side of cauliflower cheese! Very happy with this being our first roast now the 'ber months are here!

Great pub great team and beautiful setting!! If you haven’t been the go!!! 😃

Lovely pub with outstanding staff!! Warm welcome and great service! We will be definately back soon! Thank you !

We have stayed at Butcombe pubs before and always enjoyed them so we knew what to expect as regards food, drink and service which were all very good. The location is good being very close to Hurn airport but unfortunately our room was quite close to the dual carriageway which was pretty noisy, especially as we had the windows open because the weather was good. The room was nice and large and we had our dog with us who was made very welcome. We had dinner one night which was really nice and a great choice of beers and wines. Breakfast was very nice also. I am at steam Railway fan so the fact it was an old railway station was super interesting. Thank you to the staff for looking after us.

Stayed for the weekend at the Avoncauseway to celebrate my parents diamond wedding. Excellent accommodation, lovely food and very attentive staff. Can't recommend enough

A great pub with very good Butcombe beer. Restaurant has a varied enough menu and a very good children's menu. Interesting things to read about the railway it's next to. Plenty of free parking.

I was really happy with my stay here. The staff are really friendly. The room was well furnished, clean and the bed really comfortable. The breakfast was very good. It is a quirky venue because it was a train station. I liked the effort made to decorate the pub/restaurant with a lot of sympathy to its history. It is quite close to a busy road, which you can hear with the room windows open or in the garden. However, when closed the windows block the noise and I don’t hold it against the place as they can’t re-route the road!

Warm welcome, clean rooms and good breakfast. Good value for money.

Excellent hotel. Great service from the moment i booked to when we checked out. Excellent food, well presented. Superb location for the airport. Will definitely be back.

Nice location, and a good piece of history. Food was very nice and service was good. But beware....The price of drinks is ridiculas. £9.30 for a 250ml glass of wine. And I know things have gone up over the years, but not this much. Really spoilt a nice afternoon paying just under £20 for 2 glasses of wine. Won't be going there again.

Great location for the function we attended. Very cheerful and helpful staff.

Had a totally scrumptious roast beef. Lovely attentive service (but not too much) , good value for money, lovely atmosphere, highly recommend

Bedroom only had 1 chair when there were 2 of us staying and despite requesting a 2nd chair was told that none were available!!!

Stayed here for 2 nights when going to a family wedding. The staff were very helpful and friendly. The breakfast quality was excellant, freshly cooked using good quality ingrediants. Likewise the provision of fresh milk, tea and coffee were all quality products. Bathroom was spotless and toiletries were again of a really high quality. We enjoyed the stay and would happily use the Avon again. The reason, we have not posted a 5 star review was that the room lighting wasn't bright enough and made the room quite dark, however we managed.

Beautiful and interesting pub and good food and beer

Fabulous hotel - lovely helpful friendly staff in a great location. Very comfortable well fitted out bedroom. Will stay again.

Great rooms, friendly service, delicious food

I had reserved 230pm last Sunday and we turned up, absolutely amazed at how pretty the pub was. We had our dog with us and they were most accommodating. There was a fresh water bowel outside. We decided to sit outside, but if you go inside the pub and restaurant, it is absolutely immaculate. We decided being a Sunday we would have a quaintly British roast dinner and it did not disappoint. Normally there is always something on a Sunday roast that lets sit down when you cook it yourself, but this was absolutely perfect. the drinks were served in lovely glasses and in keeping with the age of the building. Would I return here, absolutely yes. The manager should be proud of it Staff as they worked really hard and absolutely lovely team.

Excellent find. We booked for its location but it turned out to be much better than expected. Superb friendly staff, accommodation and food it was a pleasure to stay there.

We had 4 rooms at this venue and we were all agreed an excellent stay and the food was very good. The service was friendly and excellent

We stayed at the Avon Causeway hotel for one night in August and we loved it! A lovely place to stay, great location, wonderful staff who were very attentive and really good food, we were going into Christchurch for something to eat the evening we arrived but because we were a little tired from a long journey and sightseeing during the day we decided to have our evening meal at the hotel, great choices on the menu and extremely good quality ingredients and the beer 🍺 was top notch. The Rooms are a little small but exceptionally clean with a lovely big comfortable bed and the en-suite shower is powerful. Breakfast was included in the price and was very, very good. You get one choice from the menu which is brilliant and includes things like a “full English “ or “eggs Benedict” and even Eggs royale with fresh salmon and much more, all freshly cooked. I would highly recommend staying at this Butcome owned hotel with a great host and history

Staff friendly and helpful. Very dog friendly. Highly recommend

Fantastic service by Amanda and her team. 1st time I have taken my wife there as when I visit it is with a Golf society. She was impressed with the cleanliness and service. Full English breakfast is out of this world. Great location for New Forest and surrounding area . Parking easy. A real gem. Big thanks to Sara and Colin.

A fab vegan Sunday lunch, accompanied by a welcoming atmosphere, kind friendly staff, and an interesting location set in an old rural railway station. Only downside was the slight road noise, but the road itself is the other side of a woodland so not visible at all, and this downside is offset by a fun mini adventure playground for children! All in all, a lovely visit.

We had a great meal on Saturday. They were so relaxed and accommodating for my young children. Only complaint was the beef burger was a bit over done leaving it a bit dry, rest of the food got devoured.

Really nice location the hotel is really good hospitality is fantastic atmosphere is welcoming.food is very good.we stayed at this hotel due to early flight and everything was perfect.first class highly recommend.

Lovely place & atmosphere, also the old train loco & Pullman carriage outside as twas the old stataion years ago, back in the 60s!

Lovely pub, lovely staff but food was so over priced. A portion of chips (£4.50 for a very small portion, £6.25 for 2 very small scoops of icecream).

Room on the small side. Younger members of staff in the bar / restaurant busy chatting to each other while customers waited for menu's or to order drinks at the bar.

Great location for us to meet with family. We only ate and didn’t stay over.

The whole say was excellent, lovely rooms, excellent service with friendly staff and great food. Would not hesitate to stay again!

What a lovely place to stay, the staff were very friendly and helpful. The rooms were spotless and comfortable, the food was excellent and plenty to choose from on the menu. The added bonus of being dog friendly made our stay even better, I would certainly recommend this hotel to anyone.

19 of us visited as a group from our MG club. The service was excellent, the food was great and the staff were brilliant.

Everywhere very clean.a lovely place to stop after Bournemouth Airport.

Last day on our stay at Avon Causeway was a disaster. I ordered a pint of cider, received a pint of bitter. After complaining it was changed.Later on asked for a bottle of white wine received a bottle of red. Had to wait forty five minutes for our food order.We were told the steak specials which were advertised on there Thursday menue were withdrawn by butcome. This is despite it being shown on the butcome loyalty app as available. Finally we asked if they could store my dogs food in there fridge it was in a sealed container with our room number on it. I was informed it was in the breakfast fridge. The member of staff couldn't find it. It was found after a phone call. Day one of a two day stay was great. Shame day two let it down. Also on the last day after our meal I asked if I could order a desert, as the member of staff didn't come back, to take my order I went back to my room..

Booked it last minute to see family staying in Bournemouth. Easily accessible from the A338 so traffic noise was expected otherwise lovely and remote setting. Massive bed but small en-suite and good supply of ground coffee/tea biscuits and water. Friendly staff on check in and also at breakfast. We enjoyed the Full English Breakfast. Would definitely return.

Excellent food and very courteous service. Rooms are very spacious and clean, with all of the amenities one would expect.

Just back from a 3 night stay at this really nice comfortable and welcoming hotel. The staff Amanda and Sarah are such happy and friendly hosts. The breakfast is gorgeous.Thank you from the 4 dubliners.

Having checked the website to ensure food was being served we arrived to be grunted at at the bar being told there was no food. We were then told there was 'Ploughman's Lunch' sadly only one! We shared this under protest, terrible, bread was stale, no cheese at all for £16.95. General experience was very below average, avoid.

Friendly and efficient. Room was comfortable and clean. Very helpful in meeting individual requests. Highly recommended.

The room was spacious and the bed was comfortable. Shower was amazing, best in any hotel I've stayed in and there was a hairdryer Net curtains were black with dirt and torn, not what you'd expect for the price of the room. Breakfast was perfect. Served piping hot and was delicious. Breakfast service on the 8th July was impeccable, the waitress was super friendly and made us all feel very welcome. Nothing was too much trouble.

The rooms are very nice to the smallest details. Stayed in a family room with 3 beds (of which one was a sofa bed). Very clean and elegantly decorated. The building was a refurbished old train station, very charming little place. Staff also very friendly and nice; treated us very nicely although we arrived later than the normal check in times. Would definitely come back.

Didn't like the surcharge on our dinner bill.

Booked last minute due to last minute condor changes. Hotel is very good. Helpful staff and breakfast included.

Great location and reasonably price menu

I had such a lovely stay at the Avon Causeway, the hosts were so friendly and accommodating and there were lovely personal touches such as homemade biscuits (so yummy) in the room and 'proper' milk for tea instead of those little tubs that are never quite enough. Wonderful breakfast (and doggy guests get one too!)! The room was good, very clean and the bed was super comfy. I did go during a heat wave, so although I'm sure this is usually not an issue, the room did feel very hot overnight, even with the windows open (unfortunately no air-conditioning), but we were provided with a fan that definitely helped. Overall, just a great stay and I would definitely go back!

Didn't have our reorders, even thhough we e-mailed them

I have stayed here before, but only popped in this time whilst waiting for a flight arrival at Hurn. Excellent selection of beer, good location and friendly staff.

The children took me there for father's day lunch. Although the food was nice the service spoiled the whole event to the point they had to chase the drinks order and go to the bar to order our desserts. Very disappointed as the venue is really beautiful.

Beautiful pub with nicely appointed rooms. Rooms are a bit on the warm side. Food is excellent quality & service is friendly & quick. Very much enjoyed my 2 nights here.

The quality of the food is very very good. I feel like the place lacks a bit of soul. It needs a snug maybe, a bar area that really encourages you to stay for hours near the fire, sit outside under heaters with a blanket maybe? Almost every table is layed up like a resturant. It's a Pub... I get you want to push food but you need to get the balance right. The seasonal salads are excellent. Ale even better.

Beautiful place love the train in the grounds

had a wonderful lunch with friend's, great food and great service, will be back again soon.

Great find, near Bournemouth airport, an old railway station with carriages. Lovely rooms, very nice, polite staff and tasty food. Can park your car whilst on holiday! A breakfast bag was provided for our early flight. Highly recommend!

This is a comfortable and welcoming place to stay. Have just left after our 4th stay and will be going back. We love it. It is a lovely area and such a unique looking place as its historical beginnings was a train station. It is relaxed and there is no pretentious feel about the place. Sarah is proffessional, efficient and approachable. She works very hard and her team are great. I can’t praise it enough. This is our bolt hole and a trip to Southbourne beach is a must.

We stayed Saturday night to enjoy a weekend away for Father’s Day. The room was perfect for us as a family of four with a dog, comfortable beds and very very clean! We had a lovely dinner and breakfast, food and service was amazing. The staff are very friendly and helpful. This is now our favourite place to stay if we come to mudeford.

First time using this facility , because it was also going to be our first time using Bournemouth Airport. So pleased we did use the Avon Causeway as the staff were all polite and helpful , the room was wonderful and the food for the evening and breakfast was great. It literally only took a 5 minute drive to the airport . We will definitely be using Avon Causeway again in the future for us to use the airport to get us to France 🇫🇷 Thanks for everything Stephen & Marina

Lovely place to meet and eat, excellent menu,friendly staff, child and dog friendly. Good value for money.

Me and my daughter stayed the night here. The food was lovely and the staff were really friendly, Amanda the manager was really friendly during breakfast service and made us feel very welcome. Lovely place. 😀

Visited here for an evening meal which was very nice. The food was very well presented, tasty and a fair price. Wednesday has 25 per cent off if you belong to the Butcombe app so works out to be a good deal. At the moment as the road is closed over the flyover bridge they are offering a free drink if you dine with them. Very pleasant staff. Would definitely return.

Fantastic service . Highly recommended

The pub has a big and varied menu. Pleasant staff and a comfy atmosphere. Old railway memorabilia adds interest.

Great food, lovely setting, friendly team, recommended!!

A really lovely weekend spent at The Avon Causeway hotel. The staff were very friendly and helpful, as were Amanda and Sarah. Lovely ladies who made us feel very at home. I would recommend the Avon Causeway to anyone after a lovely weekend experience around the Christchurch, Lymington area of Dorset. An ideal spot to stay. Thank you to all at the Avon Causeway.

Visited for Sunday lunch and was not disappointed- had the roast pork which was served with excellent roast potatoes, a selection of vegetables followed by the crumble. Staff were very polite and attentive - well worth the visit and will be returning very soon.....
