“This Victorian townhouse, a short walk from Bournemouth Beach, struck me as a place geared towards families looking for a relaxed seaside getaway, with spacious rooms and even special menus for children. I particularly appreciated the on-site spa, promising a welcome retreat, and the heated indoor pool which is open for a swim for most of the day. It's a solid choice for combining beach access with some pampering.”

Wonderful Hotel Stay!

great sizeexcellent servicesteam room
I found the room to be a great size. My room included air conditioning and I was very comfortable. Breakfast was good, I really enjoyed full English options available. The reception team were cute and I really found overall service to be excellent!
The steam room was sadly out of order, so I was unable to use that facility. I hope it is fixed next time I stay here.

The hotel is close to the beach. It was only a short walk of about 5 minutes. A local supermarket sits next to the hotel, I found it very convenient. A couple of bars and restaurants surround the hotel.

The hotel provided me with a family room and I find it spacious! The children were very happy about the pool, I can say that. Breakfast service was top tier, my daughter wanted pancakes and she got them, this make me so happy.
The hotel parking area was too small I think. I was find a spot in a vague neighborhood 2 streets further.
