Staff very attentive and hotel room and facilities meet every need.
Instructions were easy, checking in was easy. Staff were friendly, the room was quiet, and clean. The bathroom was dated, but functioned. All in all, an easy stay.
This hotel caters mainly for coach trips do service is skewed towards large parties rather than solo travellers, having said that, staff were as friendly and efficient as they could be but they were run off their feet. Great deal on set dinner and the pool was a real bonus.

It’s an amazing stay and the location is awesome . The room was quite spacious , the staffs were courteous. Will definitely recommends someone for their staycations.
Lovely hotel. Friendly reception staff. Bed really comfy. We also really enjoyed the leisure facilities. The only downside was that the bar only had one person serving so we waited in a queue for 20 mins for a drink. Help did arrive, but not very professional service from the additional server. Having said that, we would definitely stay here again.
Was a pleasant stay. Nice clean rooms with lovely bathroom. Great location

Disliked: Staff & service
Great locations. Great hotel staff lovely. Breakfast all waiting so nothing cooked fresh. Small selection of food. Which isnt bad but could do with a little more option. I understand the hotel caters for the coach parties. But when they have children in the hotel, a childs option on the menu would help.
Overnight stay in Bournemouth - staff were great, location was perfect, yummy breakfast, bedroom was a good size & relatively quiet. Hotel a little tired which is sad as it’s such a beautiful building, but we enjoyed our stay at a very reasonable price.
Our room was very. Clean. *****Comfortable bed *****so had a good nights sleep. Plenty of milk, tea, coffe and hot chocolate , which was a nice surprise! *****
All the Staff were very helpful/friendly!!!
REALLY enjoyed our overnight stay, and will be returning in tbe near future 🙂
