Don’t do it

The place was filthy. The breakfast woeful although the flies and wasps enjoyed it. The room couldn’t hold a candle to a premier inn and no air conditioning. Just not good enough

My boyfriend and I particularly loved the pools, and just the amount of things you could do at this hotel, it was such a lovely time. We stayed a night and we were able to use the pool, and other amenities as much as we liked with no extra charge, as it was just a night. The staff were super attentive and very kind and professional too ;) I must say a room that definitely stood out to us was the piano room, with the grand piano, a big checkers and chess game, and huge windows overlooking the pond. If you’ve watched the vampire diaries before, it was giving that vibe. It was darkly lit and had painting of dogs everywhere which was perfect ;) Overall had such a good stay at Champneys and we’ll for sure be back !!

The staff and and services were exceptional and the spa facilities were very good - perfect for a day or two to unwind. I would also recommend having dinner at the in house resturaunt as the quality of food was amazing. Great for an overnight stay with a day spa add on for the next day - you get what you pay for

Stay elsewhere

Was calling the hotel for hours - no answer. Doors locked on arrival. Check in was terrible with miserable staff member who looked like he was asleep. Nothing special about the stay or room. Felt very run down and disappointing. The breakfast was nice. So was the waitress.

I was worried after reading some of the recent reviews, but we had a great time and wish we had 2 nights there. The setting is gorgeous on the lovely lake, loved the food at dinner, it was really tasty & healthy , we had a really spacious room. The decor is old fashioned and the bathroom needs updating but most old English hotels are. Breakfast was terrible & very slow but we enjoyed everything else. The spa is lovely but was very busy until after 5. in the evening There was a brilliant pianist playing in the lounge area which was nice.

I liked the calm environment and the kind welcoming when checking in. I like the softness of the bedding and for a single the bed was surprisingly comfy. However, one the beds was very noisy in room 309. I didn't like how I messaged before arriving about the request of the room being a twin and when we arrived and noticed it wasn't we asked nicely for our bedroom to be made into a twin and it took them over 2hrs to do so... Therefore We had to wait to get into bed, and we were tired and this was around 9.20, we checked in and mentioned about our room at 645pm. Also I didn't like how I had to clean the fan and remove an inch thick of dust just to be able to use it. Unfortunately I made a mess and left dust all over the floor, sorry. Once i noticed the mess I went to the bathroom to continue cleaning it over the sink. I didn't like that when the shower was turnt on it would spray water out over the top the curtains because of connection on the shower head. Soaking everything near the bin, toilet and as far as the sink. Was slightly amusing to turn on the shower and get sprayed in the head... Especially when I didn't tell my guest.

The property was clean, and the surrounding area very calm and peaceful (large grounds, lake). Nice staff, and the hotel and spa weren't overrun with people. The one thing which could be improved is the length of access to the facilities: check in is at 5pm, which is already pretty late to check in, and checkout is at 10am. If you want to use the facilities otherside of these hours, you need to pay another £55. When you're paying £280 for 1 night for 1 room, it seems a bit out of order to not have a wider window to be able to use the facilities.

Never again

An absolute chambles for a well loved brand name! Arrived at 10pm,the night receptionist was angry and did an awful check in, were told there is no room service or even a snack or a drink. We were handed a paper to say that if we want to use the SPA next day we have to pay £70/person including lunch. Room was OK can do with a proper clean. Breakfast was limited in options. Check out was a nightmare as there was a huge queue and we were waiting fir over 30min. We opted for the express check out at the end bit still had to queue to return the robes!

Beware of hidden charges

I had passed Champney's a few times when driving in Hampshire and was curious about it. I saw a rate that seemed not too bad so decided to go for a special weekend with my son. Talking to hotel staff, I learned that almost all people come on an all inclusive package and nobody seemed to know much about the bed and breakfast route. To be fair, their restaurant prices are okay, but menus show no prices, it is assumed you will have 3 courses, and staff seem downright confused about how to charge for a meal that is just a main course. Also other peoples' dinner charges appeared on our bill which I fortunately was able to negotiate with them to drop. The real issue was that 2 nights is just that - 2 nights - and between 10am and 5pm of the day in between you are charged a hefty per person "facilities" fee. Ouch. The place is nice and very relaxing and the pools are good and the decor is enjoyable. We loved the absence of children and a general sense of calm. It really does feel like a healthy space and the experience is refreshing, but the quibbles and uncertainties about the cost were annoying.

Birthday treat

Staff were excellent but overall stay was average. Rooms very dated & hotel could do with a make over ! Lots of water stains on the ceilings & everything could do with decorating. Some outside furniture was very ropey & needs replacing. The hotel grounds were amazing & very peaceful. Personally was really looking forward to staying at Champneys but definitely wouldn’t stay there again.

My stay at Champneys was better than I could have hoped for. The staff were very helpful, friendly and professional at all times. The facilities were clean and offering plenty of areas to choose from to unwind. Me and my Daughter had the most relaxing time together moving round the different jacuzzis and loungers. The spa is decorative to completely relax you as soon as you enter with its rain forest feel. The hotel room felt luxurious, clean and peaceful. Highly recommend Champneys Mere forest hotel to anyone who needs a pamper or complete relaxation. Did us the world of good. On leaving we walked around the beautiful lake. We will be coming back. Enjoy 😊

I had a lovely stay at Champney's Forest Mere. The site is stunning and the spa is impeccably clean. The only slight reservations I had were the food options could have been more varied and I wish they'd had a cold plunge. Apart from that, full marks.

Not a bad little place

Not very well sign posted from the start ( parked the car no sign to say entrance as your around the back ) also inside the spa there no signs to say for example what sauna done what or mixed steam room this way nothing. The restaurant wasn’t sign posted we arrived and then was told there was another restaurant up the hallway. It’s a bit of figure it out yourself. Rooms was very basic considering this place is ment to be a luxury spa. Room was quite cold and there no heating or air con in rooms . But on the other hand it’s very chilled and relaxing. The staff at reception can’t remember the man’s name was so friendly and also the lady who served us our food . The food was 10/10 overall it’s worth the price we paid £250 for an over night stay dinner and breakfast and use of spa for 2 of us

I had a very unsatisfactory stay at this hotel and feel compelled to share my experience. The nightly rate is quite high, and to my surprise, they charge extra to use the spa facilities after 10 AM, which feels unreasonable. Additionally, check-in is late at 5 PM, making it challenging to make the most of your stay. Breakfast was another letdown; while they provide fruit, if you're hoping for something warm, be prepared to pay extra for it. The overall atmosphere was further soured by the rude staff when I was not happy about paying extra for the spa. To top it all off, the restaurant was disappointing as well, failing to meet even basic expectations. I would not recommend this hotel based on my experience.
