Elaine, United Kingdom

Excellent staff that had upgraded us to the Orchid suite as if was my partners 60th birthday and also left a birthday card in the room with a voucher for two complimentary glasses of wine. A very nice touch!

Deborah, United Kingdom

Very relaxed but staff still remained professional.

Mark, United Kingdom

We had a nice size room, very clean. Enjoyed the breakfast and the staff were very friendly and helpful.

Patrick, United Kingdom

Had another lovely stay at the hotel. It's a lovely, friendly and professionally run hotel. The staff are consistently professional, friendly and very helpful. It has a really nice spa with a pool, sauna, steam room and jacuzzi. The hotel is exceptionally clean. I really like the Brassiere at the hotel for more informal dining and the food is excellent. It is in a great location, close to the beach and a short walk to the centre of Bournemouth.

Joseph, United Kingdom

Fantastic staff. Very helpful, efficient and pleasant. Went out of their way to make my stay pleasant. Hotel spotless. Food excellent. Pool and spa clean, welcoming and relaxing. Only hotel I've ever stayed in where the Porter politely refused to take a tip saying that it was part of his job! I would stay there again.
