We booked this hotel using my clubcard vouchers and seeing the loads of positive reviews of the place. We were excited to have the weekend away together and were really looking forward to it. Unfortunately we were extremely disappointed 😞 on arrival the staff member was lovely, sorted us out and we went to our room. The room straight away had a weird musty smell and it wasn't very clean, I went to use the toilet and noticed dried on poo up the back of the toilet. I felt sick so went to tell the lady. She was mortified bless her. She said she usually checks the rooms have been cleaned but hadn't checked this time. She apologised and said it was a shame as the manager had upgraded us to a bigger room (I had ordered a small double) she showed me two other rooms we could chose from, another big room or the one we initially booked. I checked the cleanliness of both rooms, neither were great, but the lady was so nice , I didn't want to keep on at her so we just went with the one we initially booked (smaller room). The room again was not clean and I felt so grubby being in it. We had no power with the cold tap, it was dribbling out and it was coming out warm and the shower had no power and stayed hot. It was just dirty and not exceptional cleanliness like the reviews all said :( things were rusted, mould in the grout, marks on the walls, limescale etc. the hotel said they provided luxury shampoo and conditioner but they felt like they were watered down and made my hair feel dry.

Good location and free onsite parking at this well decorated period guest house run by a nice couple. Budget second floor double room with shower, very small with one side of bed up against the wall - upgrade, slightly bigger first floor room with bathroom offered for £30 and taken! Room clean and bed comfortable but position of furniture poor and bathroom tired (marks on bath, shelf below mirror missing but wall plugs still showing) and noisy plumbing (drain gurgling even when other rooms using their bathrooms!). Bathroom door had a self closing mechanism that made a loud noise when opened and closed. Old building, soundproofing not good as could hear guests and staff in other rooms and in corridor from our bed. Also, advised not to fill water bottle from cold tap in bathroom and to boil water for some reason but host filled water bottle from bar. Did not eat or drink there as within easy walking distance of many restaurants and bars.

Good base to visit Bournemouth & surrounding areas

Arrived earlier than check in but was permitted to park our car there whilst we had a stroll to kill time. Short walk to the beach, downhill. Check in quick & room lovely, comfy bed & a great shower. Lobby area & garden all lovely too. A great base to explore Bournemouth & beyond. We travelled to Poole, studland, Swanage. A great place to paddle board at knoll beach & a fish & chips on a boat cruise from Poole harbour.

Away for work

I have stayed here quite a few times over the last 3 years. Always a great welcome, free parking and comfortable rooms. Venue is immaculately clean and this time I used the dining room to do some work, rather than in my room (which was 14). Room was a single bed room but enough space for 1-night stay. Ensuite is "cosy" but again good enough for a 1-night stay. The only let down was I asked for decaf tea/coffee when I made my booking and none was provided. TV in room was "app based" with no terrestrial channels, wifi was okay. Lots of places within walking distance to eat out / get takeaway.
