Relax in beautiful surroundings. Located in the heart of the Purbecks between Corfe Castle and Swanage, Kingston Country Courtyard offers some of the most beautiful views in Dorset.

Lovely staff, comfortable and quiet room. Loved the heated floors. Best bet for food is a short walk down the lane to the Scotts Arms, a local pub with great atmosphere and food.

Built by King Edward VII in 1877 for his mistress, Lillie Langtry, this listed Edwardian manor is a 5-minute walk from Bournemouth's cliff tops and approximately 1 mile from Bournemouth town center.

This review is for the sister hotel, The Derby Manor. We changed at the last minute for the convenience of not having to leave the building for breakfast in wet weather. All the staff we met went out of their way to make us feel welcome and comfortable. We particularly appreciated how warm, spacious and well-kept the accommodation was. The lounge was a real bonus.

The Holiday Inn Bournemouth is a modern hotel that is centrally located 10-minutes walk from Bournemouth Beach and town center. The property provides on-site parking and free high speed WiFi.

The Breakfast was really good and the staff at breakfast were especially helpful. The room was spacious with everything u could need. Decent shower although the design of the open door meant it was difficult to stop water escaping into the bathroom area. Clean and tidy everywhere with downstairs seating area being welcoming.

Just a few minutes' walk from Bournemouth beach, this hotel features rooms with hand-made furniture. The restaurant serves food made using local and organic produce.

Great location, close to the beach and tourist area but far enough away to feel separated from the commercialism. We really enjoyed the garden, yards, birds.

    The location was spot on....close to the town and beach. Such friendly hosts.... Claire even offered us some chicken from the BBQ they were having. We've been travelling around the UK over the past fortnight and this was the most comfortable bed of the lot. We also loved the interior design. Good work.

    Vast amount of space for a Swanage property and no compromise on facilities. Two bathrooms, endless wardrobe/storage space, loads of coat hangers, a safe, fully equipped kitchen, blackout blinds where necessary, mirrors, comfortable beds, lovely balcony for the sunset, all your washing, ironing and cleaning facilities, not even a 5 minute walk into town, designated parking space

    The property is located close to the beach, the shops, pubs, and restaurants. There was a designated parking spot outside the property for when we wanted to go out and explore further afield which we did. On entering the apartment we were delighted with the accommodation, the cleanliness, furnishings, the comfort and overall welcome we felt (with a welcome gift from our hosts, a lovely cake and milk in the fridge). Our hosts seem to have thought of and provided everything to ensure a comfortable stay.

    Truly magnificent, unusual internal decore including sumptupus beds,generous bathrooms, theatrical collections of shells, glass, antlers, art. Don't mention the boxer in the room. Totally wonderful but intimate designer garden with many places to sit. Like Beauty & the Beast's place.
