I booked late and stayed in room 12, probably the runt of the litter. I was on my own but I could see the size of the room being a problem for a couple with luggage staying for a week or so. I also think the door lock needs attention, you could easily leave the door open. Still, it was... More

We were greeted warmly by Alison and Nigel with coffee and biscuits in the comfortable lounge. Our room was excellent and spotlessly clean. A large range of bathroom toiletries and an extensive coffee tray with lovely china. Even mint chocolates and bottled water, still and sparkling. The bed really comfortable . Breakfast was beautifully presented and a great selection. While... More

I stayed one night on a business trip and would definitely stay again. The house is clean and bright. The rooms are spacious and well equipped. Wifi is included for free. Breakfast was promptly served and very good indeed.

We stayed here for 2 nights over Easter. Our room was excellent and surpassed many hotels we have stayed in. Beautifully decorated with a very comfortable bed and everything we could possible wish for - tea/coffee tray, flowers in the room, chocolates, free bottles of water, free internet. No attention to detail had been spared. The bathroom was immaculate with... More

Great place to stay. Lovely and homely, excellent choices for breakfast, we had a superior room, really comfy bed, 6ft wide all the touches you could need. Tea, coffee, even a small buch of flowers in the room. Also, my husband had recently had knee surgery, and Nigel kept refreezing his ice pack for him. Never too much trouble for... More

Stayed for two nights at the Balincourt in a Superior room (room 4). It was a good size room with a separate sofa for watching the TV. The bed was large and especially comfortable. The en-suite bathroom was small but functional. The breakfast was plentiful and it was served in a pleasant environment. I have stayed in the Bournemouth/ Poole... More
