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.

Lovely and worth the price
Pros:

Had a lovely welcome from the manager for the evening, parking was easy, food was excellent with very attentive waiter, tea tray was adequate, bed was comfy, shower was good,

Cons:

Bit unfriendly in the morning (different staff) , floor were still being cleaned in the breakfast area and considering breakfast was not until 9am I would not expect it, only way out once inner door is locked on stairs was via fire exit which was quite narrow.

Pros:

Paid £105 for one night. The staff/service was good and friendly, but unfortunately the room did not meet expectations. The bathroom had mould and clearly wasn’t cleaned properly, and the floors were squeaky. Overall, the room hygiene and maintenance were disappointing for the price paid.
