8/10 Good
"The location is lovely, access to the pool and the beach which felt private made our stay very special, we almost felt like we were in South France as the weather and the sea were very pleasant and very warm for the UK. A couple of things I would certainly improve, the room was a little tired , sofa bed in the room was stained and dirty, windows could not be opened fully so it was stuffy and hot even with the fan on. The pool is only open till 6pm, showers close even earlier, and the staff start reminding to all guests about that from 5pm, we felt rushed. The pool should be open till 7 or 8, it would be nice to have the pool bar open too. I must mention we were very surprised by the price of the basic drink like simple black coffee, it was £6 while the more complicated coffee with milk costed £12, that is extremely unreasonable, considering alcohol drinks were cheaper than that. I believe pricing should be reconsidered to reasonable level. Otherwise the staff were helpful and pleasant. We hope to be back one day."

We have stayed here before and the reception staff are excellent, the pool and entertainment are good, The position to Boscombe Gardens and Beach is perfect as are the transport links to Poole, Bournemouth, South Bourne. Would recommend this hotel for value for money"
