It was so nice to stay somewhere with character Learnt a lot about Lillie

Quiet location. Free parking Interesting historical house

Industrial cleaning smell in room. Tired room. Minute, and I mean minute shower room. Being an old building there was no double glazing so cold drought from window. Worst aspect was having to go over the road for breakfast (luckily not raining when we were there) . Scrambled egg was over cooked and watery. Smoked salmon was off cuts! Poached eggs were hard. Check out was 10 am which was rather early if you were on holiday (£25 if you wanted to check out later). Public rooms were dingy.

Location History

Bathroom Bath with shower attachment, but no attachment to wall and poor water pressure. So no proper shower facilities.

Lekker ontbijt in een stemmige, stijlvolle omgeving. Ruime kamer in een heerlijk ouderwetse stijl met een goed bed. Gratis en veilig parkeren.

We stayed here for our honeymoon 38 years ago and always said we’d visit again! We were so looking forward to it and how very disappointed we were, the bed was a nice size but everything else 😩 We could clearly hear the people (lady) in the room next door. I could smell cigarette smoke until about 11pm which made me cough on both nights. But nobody to manage it after 6! The windows needed cleaning and carpets needed cleaning - so disappointed is an understatement, especially as it was our anniversary. Don’t get me wrong - The history of the manor was amazing. Just think Edward VII built this for his mistress Lilly. He would stay there and socialise with Lilly and guests, before he became king. The house was beautifully decorated outside and Reception The receptionist was lovely and helpful. It is in a lovely avenue filled with trees and only a 10min walk to the beach and 15/20 min walk to Bournemouth town centre.
