Royal Bath Hotel

8/10 Good

"Enjoyed the food. Staff in dining room polite and helpful as were all staff. Only downside were, at times, noisy people in adjoining rooms but the hotel responded promptly when notified."

Sandbanks Hotel

8/10 Good

"The most AMAZING location, the beach was 1.5 minutes from our bedroom door. Staff were nice and helpful. Food was fabulous. The kitchen was understaffed one of the nights we ate there and we had to wait over 1 hour for food to arrive. Had we known this when we made our reservation we would have made alternative arrangements. The harbour view from our balcony was amazing. The mattress NEEDS CHANGING URGENTLY - sloping both sides and so wants to eject you from the bed. It justifies its 4-star hotel rating though somehow there is a slight fawlty towers vibe ..... but in a nice way"

Cosy, three-bed short walk from Studland's beaches

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely cottage beautifully situated within walking distance of the beaches, shop and pub and glorious walks directly from the house. Well equipped and very comfortable beds. Good to have a coffee machine and a modern walk in shower as well as a bath. The water pressure was not always strong. Easy to park. Would definitely stay here again."
