Bournemouth West Cliff Hotel & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"Very enjoyable weekend. Excellent service."

The Connaught Lodge

8/10 Good

"I imagine this hotel is wonderful in the Summer but it was absolutely freezing, the heating wasn't even turned on in the building, there was no extra blanket or duvet in the room provided. When I told reception the next day I got blamed for not saying beforehand but wasn't told that customer service was 24/7 when I checked in? Other than that breakfast was average, room was clean bathroom tiny"

Bournemouth Highcliff Marriott Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely hotel with great staff. Everyone was friendly and helpful. We stayed in the cottage’s which were better then we expected. They had nice views of the beach, pier and gardens. The swimming pool was a good size, warm and clean. Breakfast was varied and good quality. Room service was excellent and the staff were helpful bringing it in. Only downside was no dressing gowns in our room which would have been helpful to go to the pool but overall a great stay."

Forest Park Country Hotel & Inn, Brockenhurst, New Forest

8/10 Good

"Hotel was very good, among the best we have stayed in recently. Nicely decorated, clean and tidy. Facilities were great. Stayed in room 121 which was again, very good. Only downside was the bed was too hard and uncomfortable, otherwise in-room facilities were great. Loved the retro radio. ( a safe and fridge might be nice?) Note:, no Aircon, just desk fans. Breakfast catered for everyone with continental & hot options. We had the full English Breakfast which was great on 2 of our 4 days, passable on the other. We didn't try the main restaurant for dinner. The staff were exceptional, polite, professional and had just the right amount of friendliness. Top marks to the staff. Parking was ample and we had no problems. We would be very happy to recommend this hotel and we will be looking to stay again in the future."
