Lovely property, very clean , welcoming, stunning freshly cooked breakfast, Easy walking to the beach.
Very accommodating, would definitely recommend and would without a doubt will stay again.
Lovely staff, very clean and room was beautifully decorated with little extras like chocolates. Nice toiletries and biscuits too. Breakfast omelette was first class. Definitely recommend!
A real hidden gem!! My wife and I had a great weekend break to celebrate her 60th birthday at the Balincourt Guest House. The whole place has a lovely vibe very clean with great service at breakfast with loads of options. We definitely return.
We have just returned home from an excellent 5 night stay at Balincourt. Staff were always friendly and helpful. The accomodation was top class and the breakfast options very good. The location couldn't have been more convenient with bus stops adjacent and a pub opposite.
Exceptional stay. Room was spacious and decor was to a very high standard. Very clean and the bed was so comfortable. Breakfast was excellent with plenty of choice of hot and cold food. Quiet location and would highly recommend.

Nothing, just a Bed and Breakfast. No lounge or bar as we thought as it was under refurbishment
A very homely property with friendly and helpful staff. The bed was really comfortable and wow what a fantastic breakfast. A pretty garden with a lovely scent as you sit and enjoy the view. We would definitely return to Balincourt Guest House again.
Beautiful property with large, clean room and a nice beverage and breakfast lounge. Walking distance to town. Stocked with teas, coffee, water, cookies, hot chocolate, and chocolates. Would definitely recommend!

Warm welcome
A lovely stay. We have stopped before. It is conveniently situated between Bournemouth and Boscombe and not far from the seafront. Always a warm welcome and a comfortable room and a breakfast to look forward to.
Very clean and excellent dining area although the room was a bit dated. Could do with modernising TBH. Excellent staff, Commodities in room very good. Good parking facilities and quiet even though it's situated on a main road.
Breakfast excellent choice and cooked fresh. Room very spacious only complaint the bath very high so my husband struggled to get in to shower after a hip operation.
The staff were awesome ,extremely helpful!
Be prepared to climb stair to get to and from room.
My room was lovely, clean and comfortable! Nice size roomy!! Quiet
The breakfast options great!!
I enjoy walking so location is good!
