Bournemouth West Cliff Hotel & Spa
This hotel is a little dated in some areas, as others have pointed out... but overall its lovely... a big old mansion-style building... The reception is staffed 24/7 and the problems we reported were dealt with efficiently... The spa area (which cost us £20pp to use for our 3 nights stay) is well ...

The Cliff House Hotel
Couldn’t wish for anything more for a one night stay. The room was clean, bed was comfortable. The young staff were efficient and friendly. The food was of a good standard. Would stay again.

Luxury villa for 22 people with pool, jacuzzi, large garden and private pub!
The whole experience was wonderful. The pool, although cold was well used, followed by a dip in the hot tub. The little private pub was a hit, along with the games room. A beautiful venue for special ocasions. Comfortable rooms, lovely grounds and helpful hosts. Altogether amazing.
