My friend and I booked a two night stay at this hotel with a groupon voucher. Things we enjoyed: - Without exception, the staff were friendly and helpful. - The close proximity to the beautiful beach. Things we were disappointed by: - When we attempted to use the pool at around 1pm on a Sunday, it was murky and we... More

We live just 2 hours away from Bournemouth, and decided rather than just going for the day to check out what the hotels on the East Cliff area had to offer. In the past we have gone just for the day or to a B&B. These days though, I am of the opinion that hotels are a better bet, especially... More

Really fancied a Sunday roast and preferably one cooked by someone else :) First time eating out on my own so was a bit apprehensive about going for a sit down meal but needn't have worried. All of the staff are so friendly and helpful that I felt right at home from the minute I walked in. Wonderful food too... More

Malaguti33 The Sunday roast is amazing value and well scrummy! It is very popular and appeals to all ages. I am happy to see you agree. I do suggest to book as it can get very busy between 12.30 and 15.00. I hope you will return and ask about our loyalty scheme where you can save even more. The pianist... More

Just returned from our second visit to this hotel and both times we were looked after really well by friendly staff who were always cheerful and willing to help.

We managed to get the last room in Bournemouth on a Saturday night and paid a fortune for a sea view room. The view was fine but the room was desperate - the decor looks like the 1950's with anaglypta wall paper, broken tiles in the bathroom and all needed a good clean. However, the staff were extremely polite and... More

Went to this hotel using a Groupon 1 night's stay voucher. Booking was a little complicated as I am a wheelchair user. The hotel is advertised as wheelchair friendly, although the young man who took my call assured me it wasn't, and I nearly cancelled.
