Sandbanks Hotel

8/10 Good

"Our room was in the newer part of the hotel, with a good size room and balcony overlooking the beach. A big bed, very firm and clean. Bathroom was a little dated and well worn, but clean. You can’t beat the location of this hotel, literally a couple of steps down from the terrace and you are on soft sandy beach with amazing views. We also used the pool, it’s small and again dated, but clean and has a lifeguard on duty during opening hours. Breakfast is a generous selection from buffet full English to continental pastries, fruit, yoghurt and the conveyor toasters! Sure to delight the kids. We also had their “pizza on the beach” cooked outside on the terrace until 5pm. There’s not a huge selection of places to eat within walking distance, so the catering here is popular and not horrendously priced. Absolutely recommend for a couple of days at the beach for families."

Royal Bath Hotel

8/10 Good

"We recently stayed at the Royal Bath Hotel and had a very positive experience overall. Our room (170) was very comfortable, spotlessly clean, and everything we needed, including a kettle with tea and coffee, a fan ( as there is no air conditioning), an ironing board with an iron and a hairdryer. The blackout curtains were also a great feature and helped us sleep well. The hotel has a lovely old-English charm, and the main bar is wonderful. The location is definitely one of its biggest highlights, steps way from the Pier- hard to beat! During our stay, the swimming pool was unavailable, but the steam room, sauna and jacuzzi were open and enjoyable. The staff were kind and helpful, and we appreciated that they looked after our luggage before check-in and after check-out. The only disappointment, but small thing, was the full breakfast. I felt could offered a wider selection, particularly fresh fruit and few more options. Overall, we had a great stay and would happily return to this hotel."

Haven Hotel

8/10 Good

"Overall a great hotel. A bit worn in places especially pool area. Lovely hotel to take our dog to the beach was accessed through a gate from the hotel and was lovely and dog friendly. The room was very hot and quite unbearable in the hot weathers the staff got us an extra fan but it didn’t help. They need air con. The room did ruin our stay"

Village Hotel Bournemouth

10/10 Excellent

"Great stay. Customer service is on another level. Staff are unbelievably friendly and helpful. Bedroom was large, bed was comfortable, shower was powerful. Large TV, quiet and room stayed a nice temperature. Dinner was ok and breakfast was excellent. Gym is not exclusive to hotel guests, however for £5 you can use gym, steam room, sauna, hot tubs and vast pool. Only a few very minor dislikes; room felt a bit sparse as very little furniture, access to Tesco is bit of a pain and £10 to park. -Pretty sure I will be back next time I’m in. Bournemouth!"

Sea Stone Hotel

8/10 Good

"Full marks to all the staff from moment we arrived until moment we left. Maybe when finance allows they will instal air con in bedrooms. Disappointed we couldn’t have any meals in restaurant as we noticed the AA rosettes in the dining room. Speaking to a member of staff they suggested a European theme restaurant may be opening. Very quiet lounge at night time and we had the place to ourselves despite the hotel being full, maybe some form of entertainment could be tried. Great location for promenade and bus service."

Harbour Heights Hotel

8/10 Good

"We stayed in the old honeymoon suite by chance, as we booked a dog friendly room and on checking before travel there weren’t any available- so they allowed us this room as we’d paid ahead! Beautiful views of the sea and over the terraces of the hotel. The room itself, including the bathroom, as with most of the hotel, was very dated. The carpet was quite marked and 2 simple tub chairs were for ‘lounging’ in. Appreciated the aircon! The evening meal first 2 courses were excellent. Unfortunately we didn’t receive our desserts ordered so gave up and went to bed. There was no Sauvignon Blanc or Rose wines available (a change of bar manager that week apparently). A substitute bottle not listed was found - and we were charged £10 more than the most expensive one showing on the drinks menu ! Not what we’ve experienced anywhere else. After 2 discussions £5 reduction was given on our overall bill on checkout. Nb. Travelling with the dog means you get to have breakfast in the Loune area just aside from the main restaurant. It’s a bonus- lovely views of the sea!"
