We live just 2 hours from Bournemouth, and decided rather than just going for the day to check out the hotels. In the past we have gone to Bournemouth B&B’s, but generally I believe nowadays the hotels seem to be better value for money. With this in mind we tried the Suncliff for one night (bank holiday Monday), and another... More

Really fancied a Sunday roast and preferably one cooked by someone else :) First time eating out on my own so was a bit apprehensive about going for a sit down meal but needn't have worried. All of the staff are so friendly and helpful that I felt right at home from the minute I walked in. Wonderful food too... More

Just returned from our second visit to this hotel and both times we were looked after really well by friendly staff who were always cheerful and willing to help.

We managed to get the last room in Bournemouth on a Saturday night and paid a fortune for a sea view room. The view was fine but the room was desperate - the decor looks like the 1950's with anaglypta wall paper, broken tiles in the bathroom and all needed a good clean. However, the staff were extremely polite and... More

Went to this hotel using a Groupon 1 night's stay voucher. Booking was a little complicated as I am a wheelchair user. The hotel is advertised as wheelchair friendly, although the young man who took my call assured me it wasn't, and I nearly cancelled. However, after I stated that my needs were not too extreme, he booked me and... More

Stayed here last weekend and just had to comment on how helpful the staff were, nothing was too much trouble. Our room was clean, spacious and the food was fantastic. Came home feeling very refreshed and will be booking again!
