We booked a three night DB&B stay along with 12 others in order to attend a conference in Bournemouth. Rooms recently re-decorated and clean. swimming pools out of action.Good choices for Dinner. Well cooked and well presented. Wine not bad and reasonably priced. Our main problem was with the breakfast! The waiting staff were friendly and attentive but oh dear,... More

We had booked a 2 night Groupon deal as my daughter is at Uni in Bournemouth and thought it would be nice to go and visit her. Our deal was 2 nights, afternoon tea with bubbly and a bottle of wine. Afternoon tea was not what I expected,I go to afternoon tea quite often and it is usually sandwiches, scones... More

Good stay, although swimming pools, stated on all information, are not available and show no sign of being available, outside pool is green with algie, iinside pool roof has fallen into what was the pool.

Stayed one night with a Groupon voucher, excellent value for money - champagne cream tea, bottle of wine and cooked breakfast for two included in the price of £50.

He was so friendly and treated... More

I thought we should go down for the afternoon tea and try and make the most of it as it only cost £59.00. However whilst I was ordering my other... More

With the outside temperature ranging from around minus 4 degress C to plus 3 degrees C, I would have expected the hotel heating to be going at full blast - NOT THE CASE - when we checked in at about 3.00pm our room was but cold and were advised the heating would come on about 4.30pm. What should have been... More

We stayed at the Hinton Firs for one night (a Saturday) during January 2012. We were looking for a budget stay accessible to Bournemouth centre. The Hinton Firs staff were all very helpful throughout our stay. The communal lounges are comfortable, the rooms are adequate and clean, in line with the price we paid. It is an easy walk into... More
