Very quiet and peaceful. It is in the process of being revamped, but the decor is very old, but good value for money when all that is a required is bed and breakfast.

The hotel is convenient for a one-night stay. The room was in good condition, though a bit old. The price was reasonable, the car park was good, and the staff were friendly and helpful.

Convenient walk to Boscombe beach and short drive to Bournemouth beach. Free parking / generous spaces. Breakfast freshky made a lovely staff service at reception as well as dining staff.
Quality as far as bathroom facility could do with some work / referb. Shoert walk to co-op store as drinks at bar are overpriced. Overall a good stay.

A Quiet Relaxing Stay
Hotel is going through an ownership transition.
I asked for a quiet room and was placed in a very quiet corner of the hotel.
Plenty of parking. Breakfast was very good.
Some areas looked tired, but as the hotel has recently changed ownership, I'll let that slide.
Service was very good.
Keep up the good work

Excellent service, unfortunately the lift wasn’t working, a glitch whilst the hotel comes under new management I hope.

The receptionist was extremely helpful and friendly. We didn't interact with any other staff. The hotel was clean and very quiet. We just had a two night stay because we needed to be near the relatives for Christmas, so we just needed a shower and a bed to sleep in, so it was very good value for us. The only reason I don't give it five stars is because it's extremely old and is in really bad need of refurbishment, and because there were no outlets near the bed. My husband sleeps with a CPAP, so we have to have an outlet to plug in to, and none of the bedrooms had outlets near the bed. The receptionist said it was because it was an old hotel, but there were an insane amount of outlets on the opposite wall, so not sure why they didn't put any near the bed.

Great for our one night stay, staff are brilliant and all very friendly and accommodating, room was massive with four beds, room was.clean was there was a bit of a musty smell at first but it soon cleared after having the windows open for a.while.
We had a cooked breakfast which was nice, lady who served us was very nice and friendly, there are also adequate continental options too and nice.coffee to order.
Would definitely stay here again for a night if required.
We didn't explore the surrounding area as we.arrived late and left early.
Parking was great
Only frustrating thing was we.kept.driving past it as there's.no.clear.signage to identify the hotel from the road, it just has a tiny sign that's.quite hard to spot particularly at night.

Have stayed here twice before as we enjoyed pub and location.
We booked for friends and were only informed on arrival that the pub had shut down .We were told we were not contacted because we did not book breakfast.
At time of writing pub is still being advertised on their own website.
