Top Friars Cliff Beach Hotel Reviews

The Kings Arms, WorldHotels Distinctive

10/10 Excellent

"Stayed for 2 nights in a Cozy Room. Although next to the lift, there was no noise at all. The food was cooked and presented really well. Excellent choice at breakfast. The staff were all very friendly and informative. The restaurant staff on our first night worked particularly hard under very difficult circumstances. Only two servers, one on her first day, had no help on an extremely busy service. Management should have realised this and stepped in. They coped very well and did an amazing job."

"Lovely stay. Will be back.Great area"

Mudeford, Dorset. Spectacular Seafront Views. Perfect Family Getaway. Driveway.

10/10 Excellent

"We enjoyed a wonderful four days at this property. It's a proper home with real soul. Lovely artwork on the walls and everything you could possibly need. Looks better in real life than in the photo's. The location was superb. Great to soak everything in from one of the balconies and just a short stroll to the beach for early morning swims. We parked the car and didn't use it again until we left. We walked into Christchurch one day, got the ferry across to Hengistbury Head for a big coastal walk and also walked along the beach to Highcliffe Castle another day. Beds were very comfortable and we had everything we needed. Amber was great and we'll definitely be back for another visit!"

3 bed bungalow with large garden. New kitchen installed December 2025.

"Property exactly as listed, very clean and comfortable, walking distance to Highcliffe Castle which was a real treat. Would highly recommend"

"Perfect house for relaxing getaway. Loved everything about it, location and the lovely property."

4 bedroom, 3 bath, walk to the beach, golf, shops, pubs. New Forest 3 miles.

10/10 Excellent

"We’ve had a fabulous week in Highcliffe. The house was a good size for 7 of us, plus 2 dogs and has a very well equipped kitchen (although a bigger cafetière would be great!). Beds very comfy.We spent a lot of time in the garden thanks to fabulous weather. It was perfect with a good sized dining table, BBQ and plenty of seating and loungers. The garden is enclosed for dogs. Proximity to the beach surpassed expectation - especially on a busy and hot bank holiday weekend. So great to be able to walk and not worry about parking. We enjoyed both Highcliffe beach and walking to the Noisy Lobster at Avon Beach. Only thing to be aware of is that you need to cross a busy road to get to the beach, but then it’s a safe walk after that."
