Dorset Hotel Guide. Romantic Hotels in Bournemouth, Dorset, England

Overall great. Comfy bed, goose down duvet a treat. Some minor niggles like having to ask to replace non working light bulb on arrival - I would expect these things to be checked as standard by housekeeping at this rate, broken coffee jar, need to call for milk when having a cup of tea - a mini fridge would be great. A relaxing stay, breakfast was fine if you're not in a hurry, although toast was cold. They were pretty busy so it may have sat around a while - keep an eye on your order too, twice I was delivered the wrong item by a sleepy server. Lovely mushrooms on toast - nice with a touch of cream. I noticed others querying where their coffee was after some time. Tried room service once, which was quick, very nice ham sandwich on bloomer although the drink was forgotten - was promised this would be removed from bill but it wasn't upon checking out, didn't bother querying it. Nice shower - rainforest, no bathtub in small double room. Nice quality towels and soap and shampoo provided. Good for 1-2 night stay as no drawers and limited storage in room. Relaxing decor. Lots of tv channels and handy having an iPod speaker dock. Easy enough access on foot for Bournemouth if you're moderately fit - it's a bit hilly coming up from the main centre but doesn't take long to walk. Taxi to train station about £5, also easily walkable in about 20 minutes.

Our Easter break was extremely relaxing. Rooms in the Lodge are very quiet. Breakfasts are well cooked and the staff very friendly.

Absolutely loved our superior room with sea view. We travelled from Leicester an. Arrived late eveving our service right from checking in to the moment we left was very high.Adrian on reception greeted us and wished me Happy Birthday, the sole reason why we had a break away to the coast. We were shown our room and was given a fruit platter as a gift which put a smile on my face. It was the small detail that the staff put in to make our stay comfortable. We couldn't fault anything. The room was tidy and spacious, the view was just beautiful to look at any time of the day. The food was great the only downfall was me and my husband are Muslim and can only eat halal, and there was no halal option. We ate the hotels signature fish and chips which I must say is the best I have ever tasted! Another superb desert they do is their homemade hot sticky toffee pudding which I ordered 6 times in 3 days. Explains the half stone weight gain but it was just lush! We are coming back once its warmer as the weather was awful. I want to thank Mark, the restaurant manager who gave us wwonderful service and to Adrian for making our stay a wonderful experience. The staff are very polite and made great conversation. See you very soon. Thank you Marriot High Cliff x Rabia and Ali Bashir x
