Wareham

"Great rural location (i am not a golfer), really nice room, clean and comfortable and reasonably stylish. Only let downs were; paper thin walls so could hear quiet conversations in the adjacent rooms, and a noisy shower (neighbour showered at 1am!). it was a heatwave; room fans were provided but it would have been good to fully ventilate the rooms. Due to work commitments i had to leave before breakfast so can't comment on that."

Top Wareham Hotel Reviews

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed here to celebrate our daughters 40th birthday in Bournemouth lovely place to stay felt comfortable and a good location The bed was so comfortable and we had a view of the sea, room was a good size and bathroom was very clean and modern. Car parking was good convenient and a good price compared to other parking costs. Thank you for making it a very special stay."

Laguna Hotel

8/10 Good

"Room was clean but dated. Bathroom was clean and functional. Good value for money. Car park busy, but was told in advance. Local area was nice with decent food within walking distance. Drinks in the bar were reasonably inexpensive. I would use this hotel again."

Bournemouth West Cliff Hotel & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing pool, very clean and spacious family room"

Bournemouth Highcliff Marriott Hotel

8/10 Good

"Perfect location, staff really helped and friendly, loved the outside dining patio area and oool was lovely and warm."

Sandbanks Hotel

8/10 Good

"The hotel is well situated with a beautiful sea view. The staff were excellent & the rooms were clean. The only downside was that our room did not have air conditioning & we stayed on a very hot weekend. Although a fan was provided it made for a very uncomfortable night."

Haven Hotel

8/10 Good

"Our room was lovely and spotlessly clean but our bathroom was tired and dated and lacked anywhere to put our own items. However, the hotel’s situation was stunning and worth every penny of the cost. The wonderful scenery and views as well as a great sized heated pool with immediate access to a beautiful beach meant that there was really no need to leave the hotel."

Marsham Court Hotel

8/10 Good

"This is a very well appointed hotel in a convenient location by Bournemouth standards, directly across the street from the Russell Cotes Museum, and a climb up the hill from the pier area. The spacious rooms are clean and have every amenity you could want, including two fans, which came in handy in July. And enough storage to put away a month's worth of belongings. The pool area is lovely, we were here a few weeks earlier and there were no chairs out. and no one around. The second time there were no chairs left and the bar was open. So I guess you have to time the pool area just right. When I arrived early, my room wasn't quite ready so I went to sit in the bar area for a cup of tea. I'm afraid that was not well timed either, the employee was obviously upset about something and was short tempered. Then the other person in the bar had to get a refund from a different employee because what she ordered for lunch had gone off in some way. I didn't hear the whole conversation while I was waiting for my tea. But he gave her a refund and an apology. Compared to several other large hotels in the immediate area, I would choose the Marshawn again."
