Pros:

The staff were fantastic, the rooms were nice, clean and comfortable, the beach was only a ten minute walk away and the food was nice.

Cons:

The guest night entrance was a metal fire escape that our dog demanded to be carried up. Nothing major though.

Excellent !!!
Pros:

Check in was at 2pm we arrived early and had a lovely lunch was then shown to our lovely clean spacious room with a shower and a bath which was a real treat. We were able to see the sea from our room and a short walk to a gorgeous beach and was then able to walk for miles to sandbanks towards Poole. The staff were so welcoming and friendly I cannot stress enough how comfortable and relaxed our stay was and the breakfast was outstanding. This was the perfect accommodation and location for Branksome beach and surrounding areas. The inn had areas to relax outside and a fantastic bar and restaurant We stayed for two nights and would have loved to have stayed longer.

Disappointing for the price
Pros:

Lovely staff and great breakfast

Cons:

Rooms were disappointing for £150 per night. Bathroom badly needs updating, it was clean but very tired and discoloured grouting not pleasant. Mould all over the window frames, they just need a good clean. Not very nice having to use the fire exit and walk past bins when you need access between 10.30pm and 9am.

Pros:

The staff team were all really friendly and helpful. The room was really comfortable. The breakfast was lovely. Would definitely stay here again!

Cons:

The room was probably a little too warm, but that is just personal preference and has no bearing on standard of the room.
