Charming stay near the airport

convenient location spacious room good shower cooked breakfast

My flight landed at Bournemouth Airport, and i found the hotel location very convenient (i walked there). The room was spacious and clean with a good shower room. I enjoyed dorset cereals and the fruit selection for breakfast. The full english breakfast was well cooked, and i had toast too.

I found the price slightly higher than i expected, compared to hotel facilities i'm accustomed to.

soft butter fruit platter clean room high price limited facilities missing biscuits

i enjoyed the breakfast with fruit. the butter was wonderfully soft and spreadable. our room was large and clean with a good shower room.

i am used to hotels, and i expected a little more. the price for one night felt a bit high for what was available. some biscuits with the tea and coffee facilities WOULD have been nice with our morning cuppa, though.
