"Great location, close enough to the seafront to enjoy and escape to the beautiful greens. Great staff, friendly and inviting, felt less like accommodation and more like a home. Amazing fitness and golf facilities."

"Stayed one night. The staff were wonderful and friendly. Property is a little aged and bathroom too small. "

"I stayed at Applewood for only 2 nights, but I couldn't have picked a better spot. Easy walking distance to the centre of town, 15 minutes to the Pavilion, the Wheel and the Pier. Local bus access to Boscombe, and Christchurch. The room, though small was perfect for a short stay unlike other short stay where I could hardly get in the shower, Applewood is well designed to make a small space feel bigger. I wasn't driving but there seemed to be ample guest parking. I didn't eat at the Hotel but the restaurant and bar looked very nice and welcoming. The only difficulty was, I arrived early in the day and couldn't get in the hotel, I rang the buzzer but there was no answer, so I waited. Another couple arrived who also rang the bell, after a short wait someone did come to the door and we were allowed to leave our bags, a small inconvenience for a great stay, Would definitely choose Applewood again.

"Very nice quiet comfortable room. Updated and well kept. Lovely breakfast options. Pub food ok but overpriced for offerings."

"breakfast fresh, room clean, staff could be better, harbour view great"

"Ideal location to all local amenities, breakfast pretty average but other options for a little extra. Overall would use again."

"Such a brilliant hotel. Staff were wonderful and couldn’t be more helpful. We ate in the restaurant for dinner and it was superb. Will definitely be visiting again!"

"Awful room, very bad value for money"

"The hotel was comfy, clean and close to local amenities. Staff were friendly and happy to help with any queries. Breakfast was lovely with a nice selection of food. Room was cosy and everything needed to make the stay enjoyable e.g. fast wifi, hairdryer, iron etc. Would stay here again :-)"
