Top Bournemouth Hotel Reviews

THE GROVE HOTEL

10/10 Excellent

"Exceptional staff, very kind and welcoming Rona made it feel like my home from home "

Bournemouth West Cliff Hotel & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"Atmosphere is important and the staff went above and beyond to be friendly and helpful. We went out of season so that may have made a difference to the dynamic. There was calm and peace both important to us. The breakfast was superb although I wanted to give some tips as to how to make the best scrambled eggs! You had to choose your time to use the pool as not always available but the gym was generally quiet. We are looking forward to returning next year."
