The Avon Causeway in Christchurch

The room was very clean and a comfortable bed. The service in the restaurant was excellent, the food was delicious. Our dog enjoyed his time there.

Stayed here before flying out of Bournemouth early the next day. Ate in the bar in the evening and the beef pie was beautiful with great service. Room was nice and clean with everything we needed. Nice outside area - will definitely be back on a summer's evening.

As always a warm friendly welcome at one of our favourite places to stay. Has all went need, a great location and enjoyable menu.

We did not use the hotel facilities we went for lunch.

Beautiful bedroom, extremely clean. Staff are fantastic and helpful. Food quality is excellent. Highly recommended. The only problem I had was finding the entrance to hotel which is down a dark unlit track off a muddy layby with no signage.

We visited The Avon Causeway with family for a birthday meal.We were accommodated perfectly considering we were a large party of 11.The service was brilliant,a busy Sunday lunchtime and the staff were attentive,cheerful and professional.The food was top notch and the atmosphere was welcoming.Looking forward to another visit soon.

My father and I had a lovely roast after a long dog walk across the forest. Food was really good and the service was great. Even the dogs were made welcome and had a lovely time. We will definitely return.

Great menu. Nice ambiance. Good service. Superb food.

Lunch only. Good atmosphere and service.

Excellent service and welcomed our grandchildren and dog. Will stay again when we're in the area next time.

Fantastic location on the outskirts of Bournemouth, a stones throw from the airport and also lots of lovely walks on the door step. Staff were incredibly friendly and attentive. Food was excellent, good wholesome British pub classics. Beer was amazing too! Highly recommended.

We had a lovely overnight stay. The lady who checked us in was really thoughtful, she saw my Dad had mobility issues, and swapped his room for a more accessible one. Lovely refreshment tray in room including fresh milk, and cafetiere coffee. Generous toiletries. Super comfy bed! Tasty granola for breakfast.

All staff polite and helpful. Rooms lovely but creaky beds. Room doors could do with a soft closing as quite loud when closing. Banging water pipes. Eggs benedict for breakfast really tasty. Asked for side of 'Hash browns' on cooked breakfast but only got 1 but states plural on menu. The choc au pain came out very well done so i asked for it to be changed and second one came out worse and chocolate burnt inside. The early morning takeaway breakfast was very pitiful, for a four star hotel, as shown on photo. This was for 2 people. Would stay here again but leave travelling later so we could get a decent breakfast.

Food overpriced and not great, not much atmosphere

I love this pub. It's on the old Hurn railway station, so the pub does have a railway theme throughout. Beautifully decorated. It's a large spacious place with loads of seating inside and plenty outside for that drink in the summer sunshine. The food is amazing, portion size more than enough. All freshly cooked to order. There is a delightful selection of drinks, something for everyone. Personally, I go for the Butcombe Gold. Delicious. The staff have always been professional and attentive. I would recommend the Avon Causeway to anyone. Infact, I would say it is one of the best pubs in the area.

Brilliant warm friendly welcome, super rooms and staff lovely

Eight of us stayed after a golf match in Purbeck. The rooms, food and particularly the service was excellent. Our waiter was very personable and a model of efficiency. Entrance to the hotel/ car park could be improved albeit a minor issue.

Great place lovely food a glass of wine ridiculously expensive

Our second stay with yourselves and as previously we intend to return. The staff are always exceptionally friendly with nothing being too much trouble, from the morning greetings to the evening bar staff we were made to feel very welcome. The only issues we had were, the shower being over the bath. As a disabled person I couldn't access either however, I didn't make this clear on booking so I realise I am to blame. The carpet in our room wasn't hoovered very well and I picked up bits that had been left, and the radiator in the bathroom was scolding hot and we couldn't turn it down. Disregarding these two small issues and me not booking correctly, we have arrived back in the Midlands feeling rested and well fed. Thanks especially to Sarah for your support and advice x

Only went for dinner with friends and it was very enjoyable, food was great staff were obliging, all round a lovely evening.

Good food, good service, bit pricey before discount on a Wednesday!

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

Never been here before but will certainly come again.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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

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!!!

Exceeded my expectations Staff were excellent and food was 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.

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.

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.

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 .

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.

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!

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!

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.

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

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.

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!

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

Staff friendly and helpful. Very dog friendly. Highly recommend

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.

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.

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

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

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.
