Well, where can I start? From the moment we were welcomed into Bees Knees we felt like our needs and wants were of upmost importance to Shell and Graham. Our bags were taken up to our room whilst we were greeted with tea, coffee and a smile - straight away I knew our stay would be a comfortable and pleasant... More

Great value for money accommodation with a first class breakfast of natural, locally sourced foods. Really clean throughout Graham and Shell were super hosts, providing home made cakes an cookies as complimentary. Bedroom was very well appointed with an excellent en-suite We will stay there again when we are next in Poole More

Sad and upsetting though it is to have our unblemished reputation trounced like this, we have to say that we were waiting for this review to happen. The reason this guest has given us such a bad review is because we charged her for causing substantial damage in her room and for behaving in a disrespectful and selfish way. Disregarding... More

We stayed 6th Oct to the 9th October in Graham and Shell's twin room. They looked after us very well. They spoilt us with complimentary homemade cakes and cookies and helped us organise our outings with maps and suggestions on places to go and places to eat in the evenings. Our accomodation was very comfortable and very clean and far... More

We visited the Bournemouth/Poole area on the weekend of 16.9.2011 and stayed at the Bees Knees. On arrival we had a very warm welcome from Shell and Graham. I did not even have to carry my bags to the room (thanks Graham!). We were promptly asked if we would like a cup of tea and homemade cookies which were delicious.... More

We stayed at the Bees Knees August bank holiday weekend 2011. Immediately welcomed by Shell - first impressions were of a friendly, relaxed, clean B&B. The rooms are lovely and clean, with comfy pillows, big duvets and immaculate ensuite - just as described and shown on their websit. All first class condition not a sign of damp, mould or mildew...

Thank you to Shell and Graham for their warm and friendly welcome to the Bees Knees. Everything was wonderful, from the stylish antique furniture, soft bed with big fluffy pillows, spotless and shiny well equipped bathroom, yummy breakfast with home-made bread and sausages. Thanks for the complimentary home-made cookies, bottled water, tea/coffee - the list goes on... Thoroughly recommended. More

Shell and Graham were very, very welcoming and made us feel at home. They were able to recommend local attractions and restaurants, which we visited and were very pleased with. The room was very clean and well-presented. Breakfast was excellent, and the complementary cake and biscuits were lovely. More
