Reviews and Ratings
The hotel was conveniently located, with clean and functional rooms making our stay pleasant. The welcoming and kind service made us feel at home. Despite not being in the heart of Bournemouth, the location was still convenient for our needs and offered a tranquil setting with lovely ponds to enjoy. The dining experience, although nice, felt a bit rushed. Overall, a good value for money option with friendly staff and relaxing facilities.
The hotel provided everything I needed for a comfortable stay. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and had all the necessary amenities. The service was exceptionally kind and attentive, making me feel welcome throughout my visit. The location was very convenient for our activities, although a bit distant from the main Bournemouth area. The dining experience was overall enjoyable, though some meals felt slightly rushed. The facilities were well-maintained, offering a pleasant environment during my stay.
I was pleasantly surprised by the spacious and wonderfully furnished rooms, the cleanliness, and the welcoming atmosphere of the hotel. However, the service could use some improvement with unexpected room entries for maintenance tasks. The location was convenient, close to the 02 academy and main shopping areas. The dining experience was satisfactory but could benefit from enhancing coffee options. Overall, a good value for the money.
