I stayed here with my wife as part of a line dancing weekend. We decided to make use of the "Heated" pool and almost froze to death. Other residents were trying it out and were advising us against the cold water. This isn't what I would expect from a hotel of this calibre. The staff are very friendly and the... More

Carrington House Hotel is so much better than the other hotels I have stayed in, in this part of Bournemouth. To be honest, it strikes me as a little out of place, so much better than the Travelodge, Travel Inn and the others, that you think you are in a different town, and not in Bournemouth ! It is the...

We have stayed at the Carrington several times over the past four years, however each time, the hotel has gradually descended into a tired and dated state. The reception staff are foreign and although they are polite, they have difficulty in comprehending English and it is a little tiresome having to repeat most things Twice to be understood. The rooms... More

It's a big hotel, but looking a bit tired: our room needed a paint & spruce up. The fried breakfast was OK, just average. The hotel is a 5 min walk to Boscombe Pier, then a nice walk to Bournemouth town centre along the seafront. Plenty to see and do in Bournemouth (we went to the Soul Weekender in the... More
