Well positioned for the beach or walking along the esplanade to Poole or Bournemouth. A friendly welcome, comfortable room and a good continental breakfast.

Lovely hosts and a peaceful setting. Polite, professional and accommodating. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay.

Had a lovely pleasant stay. Had a very welcoming experience from the owner who seemed genuinely pleased to see us. Gave us all the information we needed and showed us to our room. The room was immaculately clean and very spacious, as was the en-suite. Breakfast was an abundance of fresh yoghurt, pastries, cheeses and cereals. Hot tea and coffee with crumpets, toast etc. would definitely recommend and we will stay again.

Quiet clean and comfortable hotel. Easy access to town. Walkable to my locations.

We enjoyed our overnight stay but would have preferred a cooked breakfast

Pleasant and in a very quiet area. Hotel is a bit dated.

Great location and amiable staff

Great location 4 minute walk and your on a beautiful sandy beach, which is away from the main Bournemouth beaches. The hotel itself is an old building, but in excellent condtion throughout. My wife and I stayed in the Dolphin room which has recently been upgraded to be modern with a walk in shower. If i had to look for points to metion to the owner these would be. Lack of a cooked breakfast for me is an issue, when spending this sum of money per night and i dont beleiev a continental breakfast cuts it, although this was excecuted well. I would have also expected replacment towels each morning as there was no way to dry our wet towels, so we had to dry ourselves with damp towels. The bathroom does have an electric heated towel rail but this would not work for us The evening was chilly in the room and there was no heatinh that could be controlled from the room to generate some heat, this also shiild be addressed.

Nice comfortable room, just what we required.

Location is good and the Managers staff were very friendly. We were met by the manager on arrival who asked why we hadn’t answered a email about twin beds or double beds. I stated we hadn’t received the email and he spoke over me and obviously didn’t believe me. He said we should’ve booked direct and saved £50. Not a good greeting really. On leaving at 7am this Morning, we didn’t want to leave our key on the desk and as there was no key box we rang the bell as the sign specified. The Manager Chris arrived to announce “ I do need to sleep you know and that nobody has rang the bell that early in 9 years” totally spoilt our stay this man. I also don’t understand the 5 stars on his board outside as all this is, is bed and continental breakfast. So sad as his staff had the manners he was lacking. Won’t be returning ever

I don't think this property should be advertised as as a 4 Star Hotel (it has 5 stars on the website). It is a good guest house in lovely old house in a great location. It is not luxurious though and personally not worth the money we paid, should be more around the £120-£150 a night. For example there were no black out blinds, economy toilet paper and only continental breakfast. There were also quite a few signs up saying what you could and couldn't do. The beds were not faantastic and there were no other amenitoes apart from the owner could make you a drink.

We loved this hotel. The staff were very friendly.

Lovely old-school victorian hotel. Family run and friendly. A little bit creaky but really comfortable and so welcoming. Location is quiet and very close to the beach.

It's a great hotel in a quiet location very close to the beach. The host was excellent - very informative, helpful & friendly. Everything was clean. The breakfast, whilst continental, was plentiful. The only downside was that the bed was so soft it was difficult to sleep that and a very thick quilt. If you like a soft mattress then fine but we prefer firm ones.

Amazing, can’t wait to return. So many places to see, restaurants, walks and the miles of Sandy beaches.

Outstanding. A great stay with very tentative host and staff. The host (manager/owner) recommended a great place to eat in the evening and provided 1st class service even escorting me to my room. Excellent location and I would highly recommend.

The hotel was in a great position walking to the beach, and we had fab recommendations to restaurants near by, would definitely come here again .

Near seaside But room conditions bad Drainage and AC problem Nobady at Loby like 2 star hotel

Very nice ambiance. Friendly staff. Nice and clean.

Very nice hotel. Excellent location to beach (3 mins walk) would stay again

Friendly staff, great experience

Great hotel. Friendly staff. Very pleasant stay.

really friendly family business, great quiet position 5 minutes walk to the superb beach. Although unable at this time to provide a cooked breakfast, the Continental was the best I have ever tasted. I would have no hesitation in strongly recommending this venue.

Extremely clean . Friendly staff and an excellent breakfast. Very close to the beach for an early morning walk

Large comfortable bedroom.

Nice friendly service. Room was in an external ground annex. Easy access to the sandy beach

Really needs a good clean

Minutes from the beach very pleasing location , friendly proprietor clean room decent pub 1 minutes walk , only criticism I’d have is that the decor is somewhat dated overall I’d be scoring 8.5 /10 very , very good

Very nice...we had the Dolphin and it was clean, private and airy. Breakfast was lovely and freshly cooked. Staff where pleasant and friendly.

Room let so much light in it was hard to sleep and the welcome felt like Fawlty Towers

Can't really complain about anything but we thought it was dated and overpriced.

Horrible ratio price vs quality. Awful breakfast - no fruit, no nonsalted butter, no choice of juices, no pastries, no good coffee! It is not about the covid, this is about saving money!! Cold in the rooms and not clean bathroom with really noisy equipment. Never ever!
