The Green House

10/10 Excellent
"I had an amazing 5 night stay at The Green House Hotel in Bournemouth, and from the moment I arrived to the day I left the staff throughout the hotel were amazing. Always friendly and available to help whenever needed. The hotel was very clean and my double room was exceptional. The bed was like a cloud and the shower had great pressure considering I was on the top floor; hot water whenever I used the shower. The hotel bar was a welcoming space and the Arbor Restaurant was an amazing experience for food and dining. Breakfast every morning never failed to impress. Fresh milk from Reception every day for your room with tea and coffee topped up daily. Only a short walk to the beach; uphill on the way back, and about 15 minutes to Bournemouth town centre. Some fantastic walks along the seafront and Boscombe is definitely worth a visit. I cannot fault this hotel and highly recommend it to any travellers heading to Bournemouth."

"I stayed here for 1 night with my husband on my birthday. The staff were excellent, expecially Neil the lifeguard in the pool. Disappointing that the sauna was out of order and the gym very small but Neil arranged for us to go to the Haven the next morning to use their pool, gym, steam room and sauna. We had a lovely room with a super king bed and great sea view. The breakfast was good and the dinner excellent."
