“While retaining Victorian architectural elements that evoke a sense of history, the property emphasizes family-friendly accommodations, which include access to both indoor and outdoor pools. Leisure amenities and proximity to the beach could make it a practical choice for those seeking a blend of relaxation and seaside activities in Bournemouth. However, some aspects, such as the dated décor and inconsistent maintenance, should be addressed.”
