No way is this a 5 Star hotel
Pros:

Nothing

Cons:

Old tired place with creaky floorboards. Say that breakfast is included but it’s only cold food. They do not do hot food at all. Checkout is 10:30 but at 10 I was woken up by housekeeping knocking at the door. Shower knob was impossible to move so I ended up having a cold shower. No fan supplied and can’t leave a window open because there is a fire escape outside the room. The room was unbearably hot. And lastly, They advertise as a 5 star hotel but I can find no mention of them on the AA or RAC websites

Most expensive B and B ive been in.
Pros:

Beds were comfortable

Cons:

We thought it an overpriced B&B.
Gruff manager. Rooms were not fully serviced over the 4 nights. Beds made that's all. Continental breakfast only. We had hoped for a real treat and paid over £200 a night. Not a treat at all in our musty room with home made , clunky, ill fitting furniture. Grin and bare it.

sehr schöne und nette Unterkunft, nahe zum Strand
Pros:

Zimmer waren sehr nett. Die Räumlichkeiten waren sehr schön eingerichtet, wie ein nobles englisches Haus. Die Stube hat zum lesen in einem großen Sessel eingeladen. Die Nähe zum Strand ist auch ein großes Plus.

The perfect place to stay in Bournemouth, without hesitation.
Pros:

From A to Z, everything was fantastic. The owner and staff were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and supportive throughout our stay.
Unfortunately, we had to leave earlier than planned due to an incident with our car. However, the generosity and kindness of the owner truly impressed us, as they kindly agreed that we could return another time to enjoy the remainder of our stay.
We could not have been happier with the experience we had, even from the very first night. Highly recommended. Special thanks to dear Chris and De Dior 🥰

Cons:

Nothing at all, although it would have been lovely to have a hot breakfast option available. That said, they kindly offered toast and porridge alongside a beautiful, flavourful continental breakfast, which we thoroughly enjoyed. Everything else was absolutely perfect.

Style over substance
Pros:

Quiet surroundings and premises spotlessly clean with parking.

Cons:

The atmosphere of a care home, general decor antiquated. Bedroom dark and claustrophobic, glass chandelier too low over one side of a hard bed and fittings in the bathroom meant the top of the toilet was part of the basin - teeth cleaning etc it was not hygienic. The 'Award Winning' breakfast was a meagre self-service 'continental' affair with wafer thin cheese, mixed meats looking past their best, overcooked croissants etc honey crystalised in little plastic pots.
