Welcoming and helpful hosts who kindly thought to make the place Christmassy for the children and left some essentials for us (milk for tea etc).
Very pleasant accommodation, some lovely touches, great location, with a parking space. Good value for money.
Opened on Queen Victoria's coronation day in June 1838, the Royal Bath Hotel & Spa Bournemouth was the first hotel in Bournemouth. It offers 3 hotel restaurants, a health spa and lovely sea views.

The locality was perfect. I liked the old fashioned genteel ambience, almost otherworldly in today's world of cookie cutter plastic chain establishments

This Victorian townhouse offers bright, modern air conditioning rooms, located just 5 minutes’ walk from Bournemouth’s award-winning beach.

The family I travelled with were adults. They had a separate room. I asked on arrival for a room with a stand up shower rather than/or in addition to a bathtub. (I'd like that to be a filter on your booking format). The only room the could give me was a "family room" which was large and included a set of bunk beds we did not need. The mattress on our bed could be improved upon. The bathroom was nice but small.
There was an elevator but it was very slow and tiny. The carpet went half way up the walls of the elevator and we did not feel it was very clean.
The young lady on the front desk when we arrived and was on again during our stay was without any welcoming personality. Just stated what we needed to pay for breakfast and parking.
My family members had a room with a tub in the bathroom. It was spacious and comfortable. They used the pool and gym which they said was very nice. We did not use any spa services.
The breakfast buffet was good and the dining room staff very nice, friendly and accommodating. We had dinner there one night and it was good. The bar had a lovely big coffee machine but apparently the bar tender couldn't work it as I was told a decaff latte was possible and then it wasn't because he didn't know how.
I feel for the price, the breakfast should be included and also the parking. It adds a lot to the cost especially when renting two rooms.
Locationwise it's easy to get to but there are no shops or coffee shops/bakeries etc near the hotel.
There was a bus tour staying at the hotel when we were there. They seemed to be well looked after. However, later in the season this could possibly make the hotel very busy. There were relatively few other guests when we were there so we had no trouble parking etc. The parking is at the back and the only way in is the front door with steps so if carrying luggage is an issue might not work well for some people.
This 3-star Victorian hotel is set high on Bournemouth's East Cliff offers beautiful sea views, gardens and a leisure club. Frederick's Restaurant is set against the striking backdrop of the sea.
With paid parking and free Wi-Fi throughout, The Hermitage Hotel is just yards from Bournemouth’s sandy beach. It has an award-winning restaurant, modern bedrooms and wonderful sea views.
Loved the circular riverside walk, straight from Heronshaw...
Loved the circular riverside walk, straight from Heronshaw House. Nice on a hot day and great for dogs, one splash about area during the walk, and a decent length of walk. Think it was around an hour, including stops to take photos. Despite being close to the airport you rarely heard any aircraft noise. A hidden gem, yet only a short drive to all local amenities. The walk is easy and flat. So if you want a relaxing and peaceful break you will not be disappointed, without being cut off should you want more. A half hour drive to the Cliffhouse, at Barton on Sea, for some fabulous food, with lovely views looking over to the Isle of White and Hengistbury Head. The New Forest also only half hours drive away.
The place and the owners exceeded all my expectations by far! The house is very cozy, clean and quiet. The mattress is something else. It’s like sleeping in the clouds! I’m used to staying at 5 star hotels for work and I can tell i have never slept so well in my life like i did here. But what touched me the most was the hospitality and kindness of the owners. A big thank you to them. Very well done!
Breakfast was very well presented and very enjoyable. Our host was thoughtful and attentive. Lovely rural surroundings. Our room was very well provided with extras we often haven't found in hotels e.g. bedroom tissues, fresh milk provided in a thermos to preserve its freshness. A bin with a sensibly sized plastic liner - so often in other hotels the liner is too small, plenty of power sockets.
The location was perfect for access to the New Forest , Bournemouth & Poole and the airport. The Chalet was amazingly clean , comfortable and well equipped ; Perfect for short breaks.
