Ringwood Hall Hotel & Spa

I recently stayed at Ringwood Hall Hotel & Spa while working in the area and had a really pleasant experience. The room was excellent – clean, comfortable and well maintained, which made it easy to relax after a long day on site. The food was even better. Everything I had was really well prepared and clearly made with good quality ingredients. It was one of the highlights of the stay. A special mention has to go to Milly and Sienna, who were fantastic throughout. They were friendly, attentive and made the whole experience feel very welcoming. Great service like that really makes a difference. Overall, a great stay and I wouldn’t hesitate to return the next time I’m working nearby.

We booked a spa day package including treatments and an overnight hotel stay, and it exceeded all expectations. The spa itself was beautiful, peaceful, and incredibly relaxing — the perfect escape. The 60-minute massage was honestly one of the best we’ve ever had. Our hotel room was in the older style, but it was spotless, comfortable, and the beds were exceptionally cosy, ensuring a great night’s sleep. The food truly stood out. We enjoyed a generous two-course lunch that felt more like a full dinner, followed by cake and hot chocolate on arrival at the hotel, plus a delicious evening meal and breakfast the next morning. Every dish was outstanding — genuine five-star quality and service throughout. What made the experience even more special was the staff. Every team member was welcoming, friendly, and happy to help with any questions. They went above and beyond to accommodate allergies and dietary requirements, which we really appreciated. We will definitely be returning and would highly recommend this experience to anyone looking for a relaxing and indulgent break.

Beautiful hotel with beautiful service. Rose was my waitress and she was fantastic, polite, knowledgeable and good to chat with. the food was amazing and you have to try the fish and chips but the curried tartare is homemade and blooming wow!! i expected higher prices for such great food in a very lovely looking hotel

Awful! Worst place I’ve ever stayed! Waste of time, effort and money! I Was bought this as a 40th birthday treat! Quite frankly a two course meal in Wetherspoons would have been more enjoyable! A two night stay in executive room with nothing executive about it. Spa was fully booked. Which left little to do for two nights. The menu was limited with Christmas dinner still an option. Extremely slow service on the Saturday. Food was less than average.

Weve had a girls night away and everything has been amazing. Especially the waitresses and Rob. It's been so relaxing We will be back.

We had a lovely group dinner here and the food was very good . The vegan and vegetarian dishes were quite exceptional which is not always the case when we go out for dinner at places. The people who served us who were called Milly and Danielle were very attentive, very helpful and very kind and made it a delightful lovely experience.

I had a lovely spa day at Ringwood Hall and the spa team were fantastic, but the restaurant experience really let the day down. I have a gluten and oat allergy, and although the first staff member was excellent, the rest of the service was slow, confused and unsafe. We waited 45 minutes for food, the server didn’t know which meal was gluten free, and no one checked on us at any point. We ended up taking desserts to go after spending 90 minutes in the restaurant. I emailed the hotel on 6 December, followed up on 9 December and again on 8 January, and still haven’t received a proper response or apology. The spa itself is brilliant, but the restaurant service and lack of management follow‑up were really disappointing, especially given the seriousness of allergen safety

I took my elderly mum for a birthday treat. The staff were very helpful and attentive, making our lunch a feel like a special occasion. Food was delicious Thank you

I've been to Ringwood Hall a number of times for both lunches and spa trips as I live locally, and I have always been impressed with what it has to offer. The staff are incredibly friendly and attentive, the spa has always been quiet (much better than some where you're fighting for a space in the sauna), and food in the restaurant has been exactly what we wanted at a reasonable price - sitting outside when the weather is nice is a lovely way to spend a lunchtime. The grounds are great for a walk on a sunny day, with lots of places for children to explore and burn off some energy. Definitely somewhere I will be back to soon, especially as my husband has promised me a spa trip and this place is always my go-to!

I would have preferred to have dealt with this directly with the hotel but as the hotel appears reluctant to provide management details I have no other option but to post this here on Tripadvisor. For context our stay was for two nights 30/31 December 2025 and we were in room 208. Firstly I would like to start by commending the staff on being pleasant, helpful and responsive with any queries/problems that we had – far better than some other hotels that we have stayed in. After having checked-in we found upon entering our room that it was cold and turning the heater up to maximum and switching the towel rail on in the bathroom helped slightly – this is something that I would have expected to have been done prior to our arrival. In actual fact much of the hotel was cold and it was not comfortable moving around. The following morning I mentioned to reception that the room was cold and an additional heater was provided within a few minutes which would indicate that rooms being cold is a known problem. Also there was virtually no hot water in the room during our stay meaning that it was almost impossible to have a shower. The response from reception was to allow the water to run for 10 minutes, again giving the impression that this is a known problem, which was not exactly the answer that I was expecting and something that I would consider to not be environmentally friendly in this day and age. Having stayed in many hotels both in the UK and overseas I have never had a problem with no hot water being available 24/7. I would also be intrigued to know the reasoning for placing the room safe on the floor meaning that you have to crawl on the floor to use it! On a positive note the lighting in the room is probably the best that I have encountered in any hotel and makes a welcome change to dimly lit hotel rooms that seem to be the norm these days. An issue of greater concern is that of accessibility around the hotel which, in my opinion, it would appear that the hotel does not comply with the Equality Act 2010 in many respects. Whilst I can accept that this is both an old and a listed building that does not preclude it from being made accessible. I was a little surprised to find that there is no lift in the hotel and that there is no clear mention of this on the website. Furthermore there is no mention on the website, nor when booking over the phone, of the convoluted route from reception to some of the rooms that involve going up/down several flights of stairs and corridors. Even going to the restaurant involves going up some stairs. For anybody with mobility problems this hotel would be a nightmare. I am aware that there is accommodation in other areas of the hotel grounds but I do not know how accessible those rooms are and also they some distance from the main building meaning that guests would be required to move around the outside of the property in possibly inclement weather, which I believe is not a suitable alternative within the scope of the Equality Act. I will acknowledge that there was no problem with finding somebody to assist with the movement of luggage. In respect of New Year’s Eve I was somewhat surprised to find that the menu had been changed after final payment had been made and that this had not been communicated to me. Advertising that the main course was gluten free and then substituting fillet steak with Beef Wellington could be a major problem for some people. (I was actually told that this was done because the new chef did not like the original menu!). I would add that the size of the Beef Wellington was out of proportion to the reast of the plate and my beef was well overcooked and inedible – and judging by the returned plates so were many others. Also why, apart from increasing bar sales, was the pre-dinner reception held in the bar area which was too small? By my rough calculation there was approaching 100 guests for NYE yet the bar only had seating for around a quarter of them and no consideration was made for those unable to find a seat.
