"The beach area was well maintained, the staff were very professional and friendly.
The room size was very good and terrace overlooking the sea was great"
"I had a very pleasant stay at Quayside Quarters. It’s in a quiet street just off the quay in Poole. My room was clean and comfortable and the owners made sure I got in OK and allowed me to leave my bag in the building for a couple of hours after I vacated the room. I would certainly like to stay again when next I need accommodation in Poole."
"A lovely property, David and pumpkin were very welcoming.
The only thing we wern't too keen on was the breakfast arrangment, we would have preferred a cooked breakfast.

"Unbelievably cheap stay. Lovely en suite room with sea view. Staff very friendly and helpful. My first stay in a YHA in nearly 30 years and experience was so good I’m looking to come again. Only gripe would be internet signal in rooms a bit poor "
"This is a very friendly and well-managed hotel with spacious rooms and good service. The location on top of the cliffs above Swanage Bay gives fabulous views both from sea-facing rooms and the well-maintained grass terrace. Steps lead down directly to the sandy beach."
"Had a lovely 2 night stay! Staff were incredibly friendly and helpful during check in and check out. Very convenient location and not a huge distance to the beach. Will definitely stay again if ever in Bournemouth. "
"Was a lovely simple property in the heart of Bournemouth, only a few minutes walk from the town or the beach. Self check in/out was seamless and they offered a decent self-service breakfast. Room was clean with plenty of amenities."

Amazing Location! Luxury 2 bed family apartment near Sandbanks - 400m to beach!
10/10 Excellent
"Beautiful property close to the beach and lovely village amenities. Great to have dishwasher, washer/dryer. Brilliant communication with owner throughout the process. "
"We had a great time at Knoll House - a truly old British affair - vintage and well loved, quirky, fun, v friendly and efficient staff, good dinner, excellent breakfast. Perfect for a family break with plenty of facilities and brilliantly located. We took our small dog who was welcomed by staff. By the very nature of being dog and family friendly this is a cosy place, gentile but not fancy - ideal for active guests with plenty of space for grandparent to join too! "
"We Loved the hotel it was clean tidy and very nice

whilst the hotel we lovely i do feel it looked very tired bur 100% we will go back"
"We stayed at the Riviera for 5 nights and had a fantastic experience. The hotel room was immaculate - super clean and well-maintained.
Breakfast each morning was delicious and plentiful, with a great selection of cooked items and pastries that the kids and I really enjoyed. We also appreciated the leisure facilities - swimming pool, jacuzzi and gym. It was never busy at the pool so the kids and I spent a great deal of time there in the evenings.
The staff were a highlight of our stay. Everyone, from reception to the restaurant/bar staff and housekeeping, was friendly, welcoming, and always happy to help. Nothing was too much trouble. The hotel’s location was perfect - just a short walk to the beach and only a 10 minute drive to Poole.
We loved our time at the Riviera and are already looking forward to staying here again next time we’re in Bournemouth."
