Very Good

This properly looked idilic from the pictures, but what they don’t tell you is it’s right next to a main road. I thought the ear plugs were a nice touch but soon realised they were a must as there was constant traffic and also sounded like a tap was running constantly.
The coffee was disgusting and the sugar stollen from a McDonald’s.
There was mould on the wall paper and you couldn’t open the windows.
The bed was so uncomfortable I barely slept and woke up with back ache in the morning.

Liked: Staff & service, room comfort
Ok but not brilliant
My room was at the front of the property & road noise was an issue. Room was tired, single glazing & had a few cobwebs. I walked a bit around the grounds but wirh no clear pathways, I was unsure if I was trespassing. Overall the building is in needif repair.
Very convenient, safe area to park. Pleasant location just a few minutes drive from Highcliffe. Easy access to hotel and room via door codes. Comfortable room.
Very spacious rooms. Very quiet considering it was dog friendly. Room was upgraded to one with a bath at no extra touch which spoke volumes about the owners.
Great location and would definitley stay there again
