"Very welcoming"
We received a warm welcome on arrival. The property is spotlessly clean and has a lovely large lounge with sumptuous sofas for guests to use. The full English breakfast was perfectly cooked. We stayed in a twin room that was adequately proportioned with a modern decor and a stylish en-suite shower room. The property is far enough away from the town centre to not suffer from any traffic noise at night time but close enough to walk to the seafront in less than 15 minutes. Read less
Likes:
Being made a fresh cup of coffee on arrival.
Dislikes:
Low water pressure in the shower.

"superb restful stay prior to a university interview"
Both my eldest son and I had a superb and restful night after a long drive and a long working day.
Why were we staying?
My eldest son was in Bournemouth preparing for a higher eduaction interview at the university and because it was an early start it was neccessary to find a local base for the evening.
I think we couldn't have chose better! Read less
Likes:
Clean, comfortable, friendly and close to where we needed to be with parking off road available.
(Parking always an issue close to town centres)
Dislikes:
Too short to enjoy the area.
Response from Thanet House:
Dear Russ, thankyou so much for your kind review. We hope that your Son's interview went well and are sure that if he chooses Bournemouth he'll have a great time!!
