Lovely short break

Lovely stay, pool was very cold but jacuzzi was good. Pool area generally needs a refresh. Good breakfast buffet, no cooked veggie options but may have been available to order but not clear anywhere. Room was ok, clean, overlooked courtyard which is very nice. Bar has a large gin selection but no aperol!

This is a nice hotel, the staff were really nice and accommodating. The property is a little dated though and corridor carpets could do with an upgrade. The Spa area I understand is being refurbished soon too, so that's good. I would stay here again.

I liked the property for the location and easy to get into Bournemouth by foot or bus. Hotel had good restaurant and friendly staff who made you welcome. Car parking a bit difficult with access and not many spaces for disabled. There is an additional parking next door which is another plus. Best you arrive early to find the best spots.
