Booked for nine guys to stay at The Avalon based on the rating given by "Trip Advisor" for a golfing weekend. Have to state that the #1 rating is correct. Paul and Patricia were fantastic. They were always available for any requests from the group and went out of their way to organise eating at local restaurants, taxis and also ensuring the correct beer was available in the hotel. Rooms were very comfortable and the atmosphere was almost home like. The group have requested we go again next year so will be looking for a reduction in terms plus also the good review here should get the price down (Hope Paul is reading this). Bottom line is that a definate recommend from the people I went with and we will do it again

What a great place to stay. Hotel is small and impeccably clean and beautifully decorated with delicious food available if required. The rooms are well appointed and the beds are a dream! Near to the beach and cliffside walks and a short bus ride into town. Make sure you sample the homecooking for your evening meal and the breakfasts are excellent. Loved it all.

Modern, beautifully decorated large bedroom with flat screen tv and fantastic walk in shower, excellent choices for all meals, all freshly prepared and presented. The modern excellent decor was reflected throughout the whole hotel. The owners Paul & Patricia superb hosts who could not do enough for us. I stayed for 4 nights from 25th May with my Mum who is 82 and blind and this has to be one of the best hotels I have ever stayed at. What a find - see you next time!

The Best Hotel we have found in the Bournemouth area. We and our 4 kids loved it. Nice rooms, lovely warm welcome, excellent food, outstanding hosts. Looking forward to our next visit
