눉The room and hallway was extremely hot there is no air conditioning in the lodge which made our stay uncomfortable, we had to leave the windows open and there was music outside till 12.30 so we did not get much sleep, so we think to make the lodge a great stay air con would need to be fitted allowing us to close the windows, the area around is lovely close to the beach and local restaurants.
눇The swimming pool, sauna,steam room, jacuzzi The room was clean with fresh towels.

눇Slight mix up with room on arrival but quickly responded to and resolved by both the cleaners and reception staff. Great pool, sauna and steam room. Free drink offered to celebrate husband's birthday, which was an unexpected bonus.

눉It is located in a rough area of Bournemouth, with a hostel full of addicts just up the road. The spa facilities are nice but the changing rooms could do with a refurb. The junior suite was not as big as the photo perceives it to be. The breakfast wasn't great either.
눇The facilities were Ok, the staff were friendly. So close to the beach and town.

눉We had a room in the lodge, this was very small, dark and quite dated. If we stayed again I would try the main hotel.
눇The staff were helpful and pleasant. We had a nice meal in the restaurant in the evening, this was freshly prepared and good quality. There was a pleasant garden area. We also liked to pool area.

눉Bed. Instead of giving us a single big bed for me and my partner, the bed came up with 2 small beds which were put together. Even the little movements would cause the big gap between the 2 beds. That was very uncomfortable. Very poor.
눇Generally all. Breakfast is absolutely delicious.
