We had a nice break here with our pet , the food was good and the place is clean. The only problems were the noisy doors that slam in the night as people without an en-suite go to the bathroom that is straight infront of the other rooms.

We have stayed at this hotel on about 4 occasions in the past year and we find it excellent. Nice comfortable room with en-suite and tea and coffee making facilities, good breakfast. Nice quiet spot away from the centre of Bournemouth. Owners very helpful with places to visit. Lots of ideas with leaflets in hallway. Nice walk down through Alum... More

We had booked an ensuite room and turned up to find that the room was not en-suite. The bathroom was down the hall way and was shared with about 3-4 other rooms. We were put off by the bright yellow custard walls in the room and thought we were quite lucky to only be staying one night. My partner braved... More
