The Dorset Golf Hotel

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 Wool Hotel Reviews

Bournemouth West Cliff Hotel & Spa

8/10 Good

"We had a problem with our allocated room. However the staff listened to our problem and resolved the issue."

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!"

Hampton by Hilton Bournemouth

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely hotel. No complaints! Location is good, be warned it is on a hill, parking is excellent and safe under the hotel. Reception and lobby was clean and spacious. Dining area was ample food for breakfast was really lovely. Waffles were exceptional 😋 Lots of food and drink variety plus really fresh also kept lovely and tidy. Bedroom we booked was standard double, and for 2 nights it was great. Quiet room no complaints. Shower was good... What is not to like about the Hampton by Hilton!"

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."

Haven Hotel

8/10 Good

"Hotel is in an excellent location. The outside swimming pool ,gate access to the beach, and the outside veranda were excellent amenities. Breakfast was very good, with a varied choice. For a 4 star hotel, the decor could have been a bit better. Our bedroom was quite small, extremely hot ( no air conditioning - just a fan ) and wasn't hoovered when we arrived. I appreciate it wasn't one of the upgraded front rooms with view of the water, but could have been much better for a 4 star hotel."

Bournemouth Highcliff Marriott Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Building and hotel were great. Very impressive. Staff were very helpful. Room was very clean and great services. Outdoor pool was very clean and warm with the weather. Breakfast seemed a bit unorganized. Bar was well stocked. Parking for guest was very limited and the parking lot was very small."

Sandbanks Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely hotel (which we’ve been to a few times now) Right on the lovely sandy beach m which is a big plus for us! Free parking available (but must remember to enter your registration at reception) Able to still use some Hotel facilities for the remainder of the day after 11am checkout. Friendly and polite staff throughout. Lift available Good choice of buffet breakfast & good choice of drinks at the bar. Upgraded to a larger room with living area - many thanks. Unfortunately couldn’t get the living room window to open, but staff were very amenable and supplied us with a fan & mini fridge (it was a particularly hot time) - again “thank you”. We will definitely be back soon."
