Love this hotel! Wouldn’t stay anywhere is in Bournemouth!
Pros:

Hotel was beautiful and the pool was fantastic especially as I had a child with me and they could access the small pool independently. Love the easy access to drinks pool bar. The breakfast was perfect and delicious. Can’t wait to stay again!

Cons:

Maybe a fan on a stand so it circles the room. Had to stand on a chair at night time during summer.
