Good base to visit Bournemouth & surrounding areas
Pros:

Arrived earlier than check in but was permitted to park our car there whilst we had a stroll to kill time. Short walk to the beach, downhill. Check in quick & room lovely, comfy bed & a great shower. Lobby area & garden all lovely too. A great base to explore Bournemouth & beyond. We travelled to Poole, studland, Swanage. A great place to paddle board at knoll beach & a fish & chips on a boat cruise from Poole harbour.

Away for work
Pros:

I have stayed here quite a few times over the last 3 years. Always a great welcome, free parking and comfortable rooms. Venue is immaculately clean and this time I used the dining room to do some work, rather than in my room (which was 14). Room was a single bed room but enough space for 1-night stay. Ensuite is "cosy" but again good enough for a 1-night stay. The only let down was I asked for decaf tea/coffee when I made my booking and none was provided. TV in room was "app based" with no terrestrial channels, wifi was okay. Lots of places within walking distance to eat out / get takeaway.

Pros:

The hotel was located about 10 to 15 minute walk from the beach in a quiet area. Breakfast was very nice and the staff were friendly and helpful. The only downside was no lift for elderly patrons and we had my wife’s parents with us in their 80s. Small thing and for most people I’m sure it wouldn’t be an issue. Would recommend this hotel

Pros:

Very friendly staff, but rooms were small for 4 people, shower pressure was horrible, no AC and no elevators. Overall pretty tired hotel. Breakfast was ok though scrambled eggs were very soggy. On the bright side, nice side yard with small number of sitting spots.
