The hotel is a little old-fashioned, but pleasant enough in its chintzy kind of way. The staff are always friendly and breakfast is great. The rooms are fairly sized and good value for money. I always try to get into this hotel when i visit Bournemouth but is always booked up, so must be popular!

I moved rooms due to the neighboring rooms. The walls are "thin" in all directions. The second room was void of guest noises due to its location but next store staff/utility room was consistently noisy up to about midnight. That's when everyone became quiet. Overall A-.

Absolutely charming! Totally English! Lovely bed and breakfast in small town of Wimborne Minster…read more Staff is super friendly. Breakfast and wifi included at $100 pounds per night approx. Breakfast is served at The Olive Branch just down the road (a 2 minute walk) and that is great. Croissants and muffins and fruit and cereal on a communal table with juices and milk. Also can order any of the hot breakfast dishes no charge. Smashed avocado with poached egg and full English. Room is divine. Decently sized for 2. Amazing huge copper tub and full bathroom with stall shower. Modern amenities with total classic charm. Caveat; no a/c and sometimes a bit noisy with the windows open but somehow does not deter from the warmth and charm. Umbrellas at the door if needed. Towels changed and bed made daily. Tea and coffee makings in the room with a hot pot for water. No ice available. (Costa gave us cups of ice-so nice). Convenient to travel from Southampton, between Bournemouth and Stonehenge. Wonderful to discover the English countryside and the town of wimborne minster is completely lovely. Nice pubs, restaurants and shops. Would absolutely return.

If you are looking for a idyllic and peaceful hideaway in the New Forrest, Defoe House could be for…read moreyou! Defoe House offers just one room in a converted garage in the tiny village of Norleywood. However, as well as the sleeping area (ideal for couples but with a sofa bed if you have kids in tow!) there is a small kitchen, bathroom and dining area. The room has recently been converted, the decor is simple and tasteful and it really does have all the facilities you could require. However, it's the homely touches and special attention paid by owner Vanessa that really makes this place stand out. Freshly picked daffodils on the table, home baked cake on arrival (the most amazing lemon cake, I should add), a selection of DVDs to watch, and the offer of help and guidance when you need it. We were loaned maps for walking, plus offered the use of wellies! Vanessa recommended walking routes and places to visit, local pubs to eat and drink, and even made the reservations on our behalf. Breakfast is served in the room. The full English is great, utilising good quality meat and eggs. Cereals are available, and home made jams to slather on toast. However, if you can't manage the whole caboodle, Vanessa will happily accommodate your desires! At £40pppn, Defoe House is good value. We really had an amazing time here, the only things that may disturb the peace and quiet are the cockerels in the morning and the Needles Lighthouse from the nearby Isle of White when the weather is bad! We will definitely be back on our next visit to the New Forrest.

This might just be the most amazing wee city in all the United Kingdom. It's beyond good. Let me start by saying that such a phenomenal place is no doubt, home to an incredible hotel. I came here to see one of my English mates marry his college sweetheart. Think of The Peaky Blinders in this anachronistic setting. Their wedding was a folkloral dream. The room was comfortable, clean, and luxurious. I enjoyed the British tele. Special marks for the location and easy access to a local farmer's market on the high street. If you decide to visit London, jump on a train and experience the country and Winchester. Experience this royal hotel!
