Checking in & Accommodations

Upon arrival I was greeted by the extremely friendly reception team & the beautifully cute cat Joey!! The hotel boasts 117 stylish and spacious rooms. Luckily for myself, I was given the “Grange” room which are incredibly decorated and equipped with modern amenities such as free Wi-Fi, air conditioning, and flat-screen TVs. A key feature of the room for me was the space! It had a lounge area going into the bedroom, this was perfect for either a family trip or a few nightcaps playing games after exploring the restaurant & bar. Guests can choose from several room types, including standard rooms, executive rooms, and suites, all of which offer a comfortable and relaxing environment for a good night’s sleep.

Spa and Wellness Facilities

One of the main attractions of Solent Hotel & Spa is its impressive spa and wellness facilities. The hotel’s spa, called the Spa at Solent, offers a range of treatments designed to rejuvenate and refresh the mind, body, and soul. Guests can indulge in a variety of massages, facials, body treatments, and nail services, all of which use high-quality products from Caudalie and Templespa and are delivered by experienced therapists.

The gym features state-of-the-art equipment, including cardio machines, free weights, and resistance training equipment, allowing guests to maintain their fitness routine while away from home.

Restaurant Facilities

Solent Hotel & Spa also has an exceptional restaurant, the Parson’s Collar, which serves delicious food made from locally sourced ingredients. The restaurant has a relaxed and informal atmosphere, making it the perfect place to enjoy a meal with friends, family, or colleagues. It also has all the live sport programmes you can imagine, being a big football fan, I found myself very at home in there. It gives across that homely feeling, which is great.

The Parson’s Collar offers a varied menu that caters to different tastes and dietary requirements. Starters include dishes such as scallops with chorizo, pork belly with black pudding, and goats’ cheese and beetroot salad. For the main course, guests can choose from a range of meat, fish, and vegetarian dishes, such as steak, sea bass, and butternut squash risotto. Desserts are also a highlight, with options such as chocolate fondant, lemon posset, and cheese platters.

The restaurant also has a well-stocked bar, which serves a range of wines, beers, and cocktails. The bar is the perfect place to relax with a drink before or after dinner, or to catch up with friends over a few drinks.

In conclusion, Solent Hotel & Spa offers the perfect getaway for any experience, whether you want to wind down and relax in a secluded setting away from the hustle and bustle from life or enjoy some drinks in a fantastic restaurant with friends or even show off to your clientele in one of the many great event rooms. It provides a home away from a home and is a resort I highly recommend.
