Nothing amazing though in reference to other hotels I have stayed at on this trip. Note: the floors here as it is an old building do squeak a lot, while walking across your floor. We were attempting a late checkout as we did not have to be at our event until later. I attempted to negotiate a late checkout only to be told it is their policy that after Noon they will charge you 10GBP per hour after. No negotiating. I understand policy, but with foreign travellers,they should try. The hotel we were at last city, was very accommodating giving us a 3 pm checkout at no charge. And a much nicer hotel at that. It seems some of the staff are a bit uptight and non accommodating.

This is a lovely hotel, so lovely in fact, that when my husband and I got married in Bournemouth…read morethis is where we had our reception and stayed here with all our guests for the weekend. We have returned here many times, and each time we have been impressed by the standard of service and the quality of the facilities. However, the food in the hotel's restaurant has unfortunately been a bit hit and miss. Breakfast here is wonderful with a superb choice of dishes and excellent service (the variety of juices on offer is in itself impressive), but we've been less impressed with dinner on a couple of occasions - the execution doesn't quite live up to the expectation set by reading the menu. Don't let this put you off though - there are generally good deals to be had here for room, breakfast and dinner packages, and lots to do in the surrounding area.

Great location, family facilities and staff! The manor is close to the ocean and chesil beach, but…read moresurrounded by green fields. Great swimming pool, play barn for the kids and awesome outdoor areas. Has sandpit, swings and small football field. The rooms are not modern but are cosy and tidy. The restaurant and food in general was amazing since the restaurant features a Mediterranean flavour. Pricey on high season it does accommodate and entertain families with children of all ages as well as parents. If you are willing to drive for 15 minutes you'll find Weymouth beach, Lodmoor park that features go karts, sea life, etc! Overall great value for money and lovely service!

I attended a wedding here…read more First when making the booking as per the wedding rate, they confirmed over the telephone, and confirmed different details by e-mail. I had to chase them to get the right details. When booking in, I said I would pay for both rooms. They required a credit card, which was fine, and then asked for another for the other room. I got them to finally understand I was paying for both rooms. I have no problem with hotels employing Eastern European staff, but those on the reception desk must have a good command of the English language. The room was OK, not brilliant, but OK. It is a 3 star after all. The en-suite was quite big, and designed for the disabled. Requested the use of an iron and ironing board, after three requests it finally arrived. The ironing board was stained, and it was only when I was using it to iron my sons new shirt that I realised that the stain was coming through onto the shirt. I was livid. I managed to disguise it as best as I could. Children can only eat in the restaurant before a certain time, and I think it was 5:30 pm, not absolutely sure of the time, but it was difficult for us. So we ate out. The arrangements for the wedding were very good, and the food was fine. Breakfast was something else. Waiting too long, and there was only three tables being used, so not rushed off their feet. One of the waitresses was sullen, and almost dropped the plate in front of you. They were less than attentive. It is not a hotel I'd choose to stay at if visiting Bournemouth again.

This is rather nice. Very very nice…read more I went to a 'do' here, and this is also used by a local school for Balls (as in dancing and wining). We had champagne on the frontsteps and patio. There is a sweeping driveway, which makes for great photo opportunities as the students arrive for their ball. The gardens are exquisite and the entrance to the hotel truly romantic. Except it's not the entrance. You have to drive to the back of the hotel on Grove Road. The 'front' of the hotel overlooks the sea. This hotel is very tasteful with out being overly grand. I'd love to stay there sometime.

I've become quite a connoisseur of Travelodges this month - I think this is the fourth one this…read moreweek? As Travelodges go, this one isn't too bad. The beds are not amongst the hardest I've suffered in a Travelodge, and the location is fairly quiet at night so a reasonable night's sleep is certainly possible. Other than that, it's similar to every other Travelodge, and the only complaint I have is the exorbitant £5 charge for the car park, which you have to pay even overnight. Outrageous profiteering - park on the street if you can.

I think they also have static caravans but we just camped in a tent. The camping field was level in places but other areas were a bit bumpy and on a slope. The side has a pub, which had evening entertainment in the evenings. The food and drinks were reasonable priced. The campsite was quite expensive compared to other sites in the area but it is a large site. The site also has an outdoor pool which when we went was very dirty with grass and leaves in it! The owner of the site was very helpful and was around when needed. There was a reception area where you could go if you had any problems or questions they also sold some camping items.

It deserves all five stars as Yvonne and Ray, the owners, have accommodation to offer that is as good, if not better, than any 5* hotel. The rooms are very spacious, are full en-suite and spotless. Parking is safe and free and there is a free wifi internet service available. Situated in an exclusive avenue that leads to a cul de sac ensured that our sleep was undisturbed and as for the breakfasts - they exceeded all expectations in both choice and quality. This would be a good base to explore the Jurassic coast from, whether by bus or car. There is a steam railway to Swannage from where you can take an open topped bus tour to Bournemouth. There is excellent walking in all directions from the castle and there is good eating in the village. We will certainly return.

This area has many hotels so is easy enough to find.

However staff are friendly and it's very quiet I slept very well.
