Enjoyable stay despite the weather, plenty to do in and around the area. National Trust properties
Pros:

Although a restricted breakfast menu, it was freshly cooked upon arrival in breakfast room/lounge. Location is high above sea level; getting down to the beach not to bad a slope but return walk was difficult due to steepness of the slope. Used car for future visits to beach and town (car park located near Bournemouth pier.

Cons:

I could not find any dis likes in this property; however single guests may be required to share a bathroom

Everything as expected and met our needs. Lovely place.
Pros:

Lovely friendly staff, great location, very clean room and property. Pictures didn't show how small the room was but otherwise were accurate in terms of the layout, features and design. The beds were also super comfortable.

Cons:

The Quadruple room was a bit too small for four full grown people to move around comfortably without getting in each other's way. If it was a couple and two little kids, it would probably be fine.

Clean comfortable and excellent value
Pros:

We were looking for a clean and comfortable hotel with parking, within a short walk of the BIC, for a one night stay after a concert. The Applewood Hotel fitted the bill perfectly, a 10 minute stroll away. The hotel was clean, comfortable and excellent value. It had easy entry access for a late night return after the concert and an early getaway in the morning. Would certainly stay here again.

Cons:

It provided everything we were looking for.

Nettes kleines Hotel, Preis-Leistung gut, kleines aber sehr feines Frühstück. Den Kindern und uns hat es sehr gut gefall
Pros:

Die Lage ist toll: alles fussläufig erreichbar (auch mit Kindern), aber schön weg vom Trubel und ein Garten in dem die Kinder rennen können

Cons:

Es gab nichts was uns nicht gefallen hat

Pros:

Der Parkplatz ist direkt vor dem Hotel. Wir hatten ein Zimmer im Erdgeschoss, welches sehr geräumig und sauber war. Man konnte am Vortag sein Frühstück auswählen, das einem dann am Morgen serviert wurde. Das Personal war sehr freundlich.

Cons:

Wir haben von einem Freitag auf Samstag dort übernachtet. Nachts haben einige Menschen draußen sehr lautstark geredet/gestritten. Die Gegend war okay.

Convenient location with free parking. Clean and well maintained.
Pros:

Free parking and a central location

Cons:

Room was a bit tight and the blind didn’t keep the light out. We did choose a budget room, worth upgrading for a larger room.
