Careys Manor & Senspa

Spa and rooms were excellent!

The Spa was excellent. Girls were lovely and well trained. The only criticism I have is the Hotel is not geared up for Solo’s. I am widowed, have visited before with my husband and have fond memories of a happy time. This time I stayed for a week on my own. On arrival there was a bottle of Prosecco in the room, with a note addressed to me. They had left two glasses which made me feel sad. There was never a table laid for one person . Each time I was led to a table it was always laid for at least two. I think a little more thought could go into where they place single people.

A very enjoyable 3 night stay at Carey’s Mānor Brockenhurst whilst my husband took part in a New Forest Bike Ride. We have stayed here before& have always had a pleasant time. Staff are very friendly & the hotel is very well placed for walking the surrounding forest areas. The spa at the hotel is also an additional plus which can be used free of charge if you are staying at the hotel although you have to pay extra if you have a massage etc - swimming pool & sauna etc are free

Great great food, ate in both the Zen and Cambria restaurants. My partner loved the massage that she received. Helpful and friendly staff. A real gem of a place. Hopefully, at some point, they can open up the yoga to hotel residents.

The pool, sauna closed at 8pm. This is too early to enjoy after dinner. Extended hours would accommodate more use. Often, there was no staff at the front desk while guest waited for check in or check out. Suzy was the most consistent and available staff at the desk. Excellent interpersonal skills.

Great stay will certainly return a little disappointing about breakfast but restaurants excellent. All staff helpful and courteous.

The rooms were outdated, especially the bathroom. Bed was comfortable, nice gym and pool. Breakfast was expensive for hot food. I would not recommend as a VIP property and the cost is high for what you get.

The property is in need of some love. No AC in any rooms. The property feels old and dated. The spa area and facilities felt old, dark and dingy. The food options for breakfast were limited, and even the cooked food that you could order was average, absolutely 0 love going into the cooking. The overall quality of this hotel is more like a 3 star trying to be a 4 star. With a bit of investment and care, I think it could be a beautiful place. Until then, it’s stuck in the year 2000 and needs modernising.

Near amenities and pleasant surroundings

Excellent check in. Spa was fantastic. Very professional but friendly staff.
