Harbour Heights Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely hotel where you can see wonderful sunsets from the dining area. All the staff are friendly everywhere is clean. Our bedroom was large with a very comfy bed."

Bournemouth Highcliff Marriott Hotel

8/10 Good

"This was our second visit to this hotel. We really love the location, the breakfast buffet, and the friendly and helpful staff. Parking is a challenge, we were out all day everyday and when we returned the hotel parking lot was usually completely full. We were only able to park onsite 3 out 7 nights. The breakfast buffet is excellent and the staff were top notch. Everyone but one lady was very kind and welcoming."

Laguna Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great staff very helpful, lovely room, lovely breakfast. Great swimming pool. Close to Bournemouth central. Would definitely stay there again."

Royal Bath Hotel

8/10 Good

"Lovely staff. Great character to the building. Quite dated but kept clean. Great view of the sea. Would return again as we thought it was good value and great location."

Bournemouth West Cliff Hotel & Spa

8/10 Good

"The room was clean, the bed was comfortable and I slept well. There was no shaver socket in the bathroom, no body lotion and no facial tissues. The radiator heating was not on, but for a single night it was tolerable. Had I been staying longer I would have requested a fan heater for this North-facing room."

The Canford

10/10 Excellent

"Great location just a short walk to the sea and prom. Staff were lovely and helpful. Room was large and very comfortable, even used the bath! We did eat in the restaurant and the food was very good, just like the breakfasts."

Sandbanks waterfront flat with panoramic views over Poole Harbour

10/10 Excellent

"A beautiful flat with several balconies giving great sea views and views of the boats etc. The rooms were comfortable and clean. As we were on public transport we would have appreciated the offer of paying a bit extra for towels as they tend to take up a lot of room in luggage. Mark was excellent at keeping in touch with us. answering any queries. Supplies of cutlery, crockery and utensils were excellent. Sea views were wonderful. Plenty of chairs for sitting out. Luxurious showers. The only area that needed a bit more care was the area around the kitchen sink.But we were all retired nurses!"
