Really lovely stay, the staff were superb and very friendly. The hotel was a little tired in parts and could do with a little attention but this did not affect our stay. As I said, the staff were lovely and nothing was too much trouble

Went to Bournemouth for two nights, and this place seemed to meet my needs. Had to hunt down someone near the desk in order to check in. Once I did, she was friendly and pleasant. Room was spacious and clean, but common areas had some wear and tear. The problem came on my first night. A loud wedding was taking place, and the after party went until after midnight. Guests drunkenly shouting to the lyrics, heard crystal clear from my bed. Called to complain, was told an email had been sent a month prior. I checked, it had, but the details were buried deep in an Expedia email that looked like every other ad from Expedia, and the details only said there would be a wedding with some music until around midnight. Wasn’t clear that sound would carry. Had breakfast, which was serviceable. If I return to Bournemouth, I’d stay again, but I’d make sure it wasn’t during a wedding. Otherwise totally adequate for my trip.

Although the staff at the hotel where amazing and the food out of this world, i was however disappointed that I order a birthday cake to find out upon arival that they had no cake. There are only 2 disbaled parking, i had to park the other end of the carpark. Im limited on how far i can walk so was upset to find out we werent in the hotel but in the lodge adjacent to it.

The lodge itself is like a little maze, quite dated, but the room was lovely and clean, ample for our needs, bathroom was a little tired, that’s my only complaint, but it did have a lovely big bath. The hotel side is gorgeous, great facilities, lovely staff, faultless breakfast!

I would like to compliment Leah, on reception. We had a couple of requests and she and the other members of the Reception team dealt with us in a polite, cheerful and efficient way. This level of professionalism was experienced throughout the whole hotel. Excellent food and drink too. Our room (No. 61!) was large and beautifully presented. We will return to this hotel
