I'm sorry the first few ticks went before I could give my correct score. The Hotel is clean cosy and the staff were friendly. The breakfast was lovely and not rushed. The staff responded to all our needs. Thomas made me an absolutely beautifully fruit salad . Bearta was so welcoming. A credit to the Hotel. Wish the staff all the best as we go into the 2 nd lockdown.

Great weekend break”

Helpful staff, clean bedroom and a delicious breakfast

We went for a birthday celebration of a friend with the festivities held in a nearby hotel. We stayed one night only using the hotel purely as a bed and breakfast. We did not have time to use the spa, fitness facilities or have dinner there, so our experience was based on one night and breakfast only. Petra was very helpful upon check in and gave us a printed map to find our party venue showing us the route on foot. When we realised we had forgotten our tube of toothpaste we were provided with a complimentary dental kit and directions to a local grocers a few minutes walk away. We got upgraded to an executive double with a balcony complete with a sofa, Nespresso machine, iPod docking station. The queen size bed was comfortable, the room and bathroom were very clean and the shower had a great pressure. Full English breakfast offered gluten free options and the buffet selection offered an excellent selection of dishes. We had two non-resident friends join us for breakfast and the staff were happy to accommodate them. After returning from our 'party' a very friendly night porter called Yannick/Yarrick? served us a night cap in the bar area, even though the bar was closed. He adopted a friendly and courteous attitude which for us left memorable service of a well run and professional hotel.

weekend away with Barrowman ”

great location, just 5 minute walk from BIC. Parking included within charge - really useful as central Bournemouth is very packed

Hotel room was very hot, but a good fan was in the wardrobe - nice touch. Downside was was the small bathroom - fan was quite noisy. The shower pump was also very loud - not really appreciated when you get up early in the morning. However, the room was fine for a weekend break. Breakfast in the courtyard was really enjoyable. Staff very polite and attentive.

Location, parking, staff

This is just around the corner from the sea, with free Parking and standard, if a bit small, rooms which are clean and warm. I was upgraded before arrival to the lodge adjacent as the room allocated was apparently a box room. Staff very friendly, breakfast served in the restaurant was very good, Lots of hot and cold food, although some staff were a little slow. Good choice for a family. Bar very nice.
