Excellent location with a brief stroll to the beach and pier. The room had a stunning sea view that was difficult to beat.

The parking situation seemed chaotic, as paying for a space didn't guarantee availability. The shower pressure was underwhelming, and the temperature fluctuated unexpectedly. Breakfast options were limited in terms of temperature and quality, with out-of-the-box selections that didn't quite hit the mark. Even though I appreciated the cleanliness, the room itself felt dated, and the overall experience didn't match the price point. The noise from outside music could be intrusive on weekends, making downtime challenging.

Historical ambiance

The crab chowder at The Crab at Bournemouth near the hotel was an absolute delight, and I could seriously feast on their fresh seafood every day! the breakfast at Hermitage got me buzzing with an incredible spread, though it did get a bit chaotic. Plus, the location is gold, right by the beach and loads of tasty spots like Hot Rocks!

Parking was a right faff, very tight access and I reckon paying extra is just cheeky. Staff could do with a lesson in charm – had a proper scare when another guest needed help and the response was, well, lacking. They really need first aid training on site, you know?

Had an amazing stay with an incredible sea view from my room! The location is unbeatable, just a hop away from the beach and lovely restaurants. Only downside was the lack of air conditioning. it got quite stuffy at times. 😅

great location with a lovely sea view, room was clean n tidy, staff were super friendly. even got a bottle of water, which was a nice touch. the cream tea was kl too!

room was a bit small n decor could use a refresh. The parking was kinda small n pricey.

i had an amazing 3-night stay at the hermitage. my single room with a sea view was perfect, featuring a comfy bed and all the essentials like wifi and kettle. the location is unbeatable, right by the beach and lots of restaurants, and the reception staff were super helpful. loved the relaxing vibes at the oceana day spa nearby!

I loved the spacious family room and the cozy bar area with refreshing cocktails. The sea view was stunning!

Perfect for a relaxing getaway!

The staff was exceptionally attentive, especially Ali, who immediately made me feel welcome with his friendly demeanor. Had a little hiccup with noise but they switched me to a quieter room without any fuss, which was greatly appreciated.

It wasn’t cheap, but considering the level of service, I found it acceptable.

Clean, spacious room but unpleasant noise from nearby clubs disrupted sleep.

None

The bed offered exceptional comfort, ensuring a pleasant night's sleep, while the heating system significantly improved room comfort after initial coolness. the dining experience suffered due to disorganization in service, such as incorrect dessert orders and delays in clearing plates. Despite enjoying some outstanding regional homemade dishes, the overall service lacked the professionalism expected from a venue of this standard.

A Cozy Seaside Retreat with Room for Improvement

Our luxury suite offered a lovely view, though we faced challenges with pet policies. The dining experience was a highlight, particularly the sea bass at dinner. For future guests, I recommend confirming pet rules in advance and exploring local eateries for varied dining options.

Consider enjoying a themed evening dinner to experience local cuisine curated from fresh ingredients.

Would recommend for a weekend vacation

Spacious room, comfortable amenities, with convenient beach access and friendly staff who ensured our stay was enjoyable, including a 24-hour reception and help with luggage storage.

It was all superb.

Strongly recommend for a weekend respite

Great service, great food, the friendly staff made our stay unforgettable with helpful assistance and great hygiene standards during our meals and the wonderful buffet breakfast offering a variety of options for all tastes.

Everything was exactly right.
