Fabulously appointed caravan- not pre-fitted caravan this is furnished with all free standing furniture and fittings, making it really nice and homely. Lots of extras like air fryer and coffee machine. Host was lovely. Very spacious and proper comfy double bed! .
Opened on Queen Victoria's coronation day in June 1838, the Royal Bath Hotel & Spa Bournemouth was the first hotel in Bournemouth. It offers 3 hotel restaurants, a health spa and lovely sea views.

The locality was perfect. I liked the old fashioned genteel ambience, almost otherworldly in today's world of cookie cutter plastic chain establishments
This Victorian townhouse offers bright, modern air conditioning rooms, located just 5 minutes’ walk from Bournemouth’s award-winning beach.

The family I travelled with were adults. They had a separate room. I asked on arrival for a room with a stand up shower rather than/or in addition to a bathtub. (I'd like that to be a filter on your booking format). The only room the could give me was a "family room" which was large and included a set of bunk beds we did not need. The mattress on our bed could be improved upon. The bathroom was nice but small.
There was an elevator but it was very slow and tiny. The carpet went half way up the walls of the elevator and we did not feel it was very clean.
The young lady on the front desk when we arrived and was on again during our stay was without any welcoming personality. Just stated what we needed to pay for breakfast and parking.
My family members had a room with a tub in the bathroom. It was spacious and comfortable. They used the pool and gym which they said was very nice. We did not use any spa services.
The breakfast buffet was good and the dining room staff very nice, friendly and accommodating. We had dinner there one night and it was good. The bar had a lovely big coffee machine but apparently the bar tender couldn't work it as I was told a decaff latte was possible and then it wasn't because he didn't know how.
I feel for the price, the breakfast should be included and also the parking. It adds a lot to the cost especially when renting two rooms.
Locationwise it's easy to get to but there are no shops or coffee shops/bakeries etc near the hotel.
There was a bus tour staying at the hotel when we were there. They seemed to be well looked after. However, later in the season this could possibly make the hotel very busy. There were relatively few other guests when we were there so we had no trouble parking etc. The parking is at the back and the only way in is the front door with steps so if carrying luggage is an issue might not work well for some people.
Chosen for location to family in wimborne. The lady greeted us warmly on reception.
The room was not 'the kings suite' as advised by the receptionist but a basic (tired) double room.
The door lock didn't seem to be working so I propped the folding luggage wrack behind the door. We arrived very late so just wanted to sleep otherwise I would have asked to change rooms.
The bath was rusty, didn't hold the water, had dirty grout & towel rail wasn't working. Apparently according to the room information non slip bath mats are available from reception - not helpful as you are stepping into the bath before reading the info.
The windows with tatty net curtain let in the outside road noise & there were stains on the carpet but it did have a bottle of tap drinking water but no hot chocolate or biscuit. The room had an iron & ironing board but no hair dryer. Toiletries were a small soap & shower/bath gel (15ml?).
Unfortunately the gentleman next door intermittently coughed & snored so I didn't get much sleep which is obviously out of control of the hotel except for the thin walls.
The room heating wasn't on but there was a small adjustable heater. The bed was firmer than what I am used to (personal preference) the pillows were comfortable.
Would I pay £70 for one person for one night again there - no

The good thing was the sauna and hot tub and the space in the house. Guttering blocked so may at front door getting soaking wet.
Outside the house is surrounded by other properties
The house needs some refurbishment on dining chairs cutlery and plates. It needs protective covers for the beds and pillows and i expect more than one pillow each.
There are bit’s around the house that look tired. I didn’t feel it was value for money and the huge security deposit of £1000 is steep. The grill should have been clean and then not send the cleaners until lunchtime the next day. This basic things like the tin opener not working and only 2 tea towels made it feel more budget.

Ferndown like Ringwood, Wimborne, Poole and all other surrounding towns and villages are very pretty, the beaches are clean and safe it really is a beautiful part of the country. There are loads of great pubs. Lots of main roads, were expecting country lanes so pleasantly surprised how easy and quick it was to get around.

Very good place to stay
Very good place to stay
Liked: It was a very nice place to stay for us and children. Comfortable beds and black window blinds were exactly what we needed in bedrooms after long days out. Master bedroom is ensuite (shower, toilet, sink and storage spaces). Kitchenette well equipped - there was everything we needed to prepare some meals. Another great and convenient point was a washing/dryer machine. Big wardrobes helped us to stay organised. There is an elevator in the building, so really easy access to the flat. We liked also the private parking (with coded gate), despite we drive a big car and it was a bit tricky to park it there. Plenty of shops around same as a good choice of restaurants to pick. Overall we would recommend to stay in this flat. It was a good base for our excursions.
Disliked:
1. Kitchenette cupboards doors should be cleaned better (as some of them were a bit sticky/greasy) 2. I would add colander to the kitchenette equipment
3. Shower hose in the bathroom was broken
4. Towels were not nice as they were very dark and left plenty of bobbings/fluff on the skin and surfaces (once I've dried out the skin bath was covered with these small dark fluffs from the towel)
5. Missed a mop (or something) to wipe off the floor in the bathroom (after childrens bath).

Good size rooms, staff not friendly, more I interested in the golfers, breakfast not great very basic cooked breakfast, poor service, found long hairs in bed
spa facilities looked good.
would not stay here again
Perfect location for Bournemouth, we visited twice. The park is good too and dog friendly. We were able to go to the clubhouse and see the entertainment, without our passes, however we couldnt use the pool, but there is a good one 5 minutes away in Ferndown. Quiet location and it is well kitted out with dishwasher and washing machine. Showers are good too. There is a nice veranda around the property so kids and dog could go outside without running off. Roger was very easy to communicate with and help, if we needed him.
The hotel was good for what we needed it for, lots of parking and all the staff were friendly and helpful. The room was fine although the bathroom was quite small. Overall, for a couple of nights, the hotel was good value and reasonably priced so no complaints.
Although we had a small room, it was comfortable and clean. The staff were helpful and polite. I will be going back shortly. It is very close to Bournemouth and Poole, as well as Ringwood. I have stayed in a few hotels in the area, and this is the best by far.
the cost was great value for money , didn't use the pool , steam etc looks great , the staff were very friendly nothing was to much trouble for them , the breakfast was great and sets you up for the day , stayed here before and will stay again when in the area
Staff were all very friendly, welcoming and polite - a good atmosphere. The hotel is well-built, very clean and comfortable. Lovely quiet room with adequate facilities - would have chosen a larger one if we'd been staying more than one night.
The hotel and spa met my expectations as it delivered everything that the description of the place offered plus the reception and waiting staff were friendly and helpful. We ate dinner and breakfast at the hotel and the food was delicious.
The check-in, hotel and room were brilliant, staff were attentive, bar was nice, view was great from the room of the river. There was car parking on site which was great.
We had a superior room so plenty of space, sofa area etc.., beautiful view of the river. Peaceful & quiet. Food was great & the staff were really friendly & helpful.
Lovely decorated and the staff were amazing. Breakfast quality and selection was the best I have had for a long time. I travel a lot and stay in a lot of hotels.
Well located on the banks of the Stour. Bus service into Bournemouth or Poole outside of the hotel. Ample parking to the rear of the hotel. Comfortable and warm.
