Christchurch Harbour Hotel

The Christchurch Harbour Hotel on the site of the former Avonmouth Hotel is a tranquil harbour side retreat boasting spectacular views across Mudeford Quay in Dorset. Built in the 1830’s as a gentleman’s residence, the hotel is now a grade II listed building and has recently been renovated to reveal an exceptionally sophisticated and relaxed venue for all seasons. It is the ideal getaway for families or couples searching for points of interest or peace and quiet. Along with many of the bedrooms, the hotel’s restaurants and public areas boast magnificent views over the outstanding beauty of the harbour towards Hengistbury Head; the ideal location for a relaxing ‘sundowner’ drink on the terrace, the perfect afternoon tea, or a lunchtime grill. Within the hotel there are little havens for those seeking tranquillity, and for the more adventurous and those with families, the attraction of beaches, the sailing school and the other areas of beauty are right on our doorstep to fill your day.
