Very Good

I mainly liked Cecil Court because it was in a quiet location, with little disturbance from other guests. I was prepared for the 15 minute walk to the beach
I stayed in a single room with ensuite bathroom, which was of a good size and comfortable.
A nice clean and well maintained hotel in a good location. Both the shops and beach were within walking distance from the hotel. There were also restaurants and cafes within walking distance and bus stop close by for accessing local bus services within Bournemouth. The room was a reasonable size and comfortable bed. The only thing found was the reception was mainly staffed during check-in times, so there wasn't really staff around to ask questions regarding the hotel.
The staff were extremely helpful when I arrived a few minutes after 8pm.
The room was just perfect for a single traveller, the bed was extremely comfortable! Free Wi Fi was a bonus .
There was free parking on the street outside. The charge for parking in the hotel car park was really reasonable, although the car park is rather small . It was great for my one night stay. I didn’t get chance to try the breakfast before checking out but would definitely consider staying here again.

If it’s a sunny day, ask the staff to open the windows & close the curtains before your arrival. No air con or fans on the room.
Also, be wary of the taps & shower in the bathroom. They were the opposite to what was stated (hot was cold, cold was hot).
The staff are great, well informed & helpful.
The bedding was clean and the rooms were tidy.
Only stayed one night en route west. Very comfy room (small single but perfectly adequate). Very nice shower. Free on road parking after 7pm, very convenient for shops, take-aways etc. Would definitely stay again
Wonderful stay. Met with a very kind and informative greeting. Rooms clean, comfortable and spacious. Lovely choice at breakfast, both cooked and continental. Choice of breads for toast!!!!
Hotel is very central to the town centre, beach and Pavillion, perfect situation.

Friendly check in
room very small and tired needs up dating parking £10 very tight if you have a large car walking distance into town.
This is a lovely quaint hotel, the staff are very friendly and attentive and the hotel was clean and friendly. It had a nice atmosphere and felt very welcoming, the breakfast was good in the morning and the bar and outside patio area are nice touches.
The hotel didn't appear particularly busy when I stayed so I was able to make use of the limited hotel parking that was available. The cost was £10 Reasonable imo. The location of the hotel is excellent for both the beach and the main town and it's very easy to walk to both. My single room was clean and well maintained. However, as good as the shower was it did take an age for the warm water to come through. The one downside was that you have to remember to tell the reception staff before 8pm that you require breakfast the following morning. Unfortunately I remembered too late and the reception closed at 8pm so I needed to go elsewhere for my breakfast. The Olive Grove cafe down the road did an excellent full English and very reasonable.
I'd stay here again as it's handy for the ferry from Poole
Was a very nice stay could of done with a extra pillow each but we never got back to the room till late so couldn’t ask but I know it would off been dealt with such a beautiful clean little hotel and location with everything local will definitely be staying again soon

The chap behind reception was very welcoming and informative. The bed was super comfy and the huge tv was a bonus! Really quiet room so we slept really well. Generally a really good stay. Only issues we had were the toilet brush was filthy with dirty water at the bottom of the brush and the carpet in the room desperately needs a clean there were coffee spills and marks all over it, but In all a really good stay we will come back. No issues with parking either :)

Good for the price we paid however no air conditioning in room ( we had room on top floor) and lack of fan during the summer made for a very hot room was difficult to sleep

Slightly daunting check in process with a list of extra costs for everything including coming in late, parking and losing your key. However the room was clean and tidy, the breakfast smelt lovely though we did not book for breakfast. There was a bar there but it was unmanned and you had to request drinks

Good overall
We had a slight problem when we arrived but the receptionist couldn't have been more helpful and sorted it out. Family room was not big but clean, plenty of storage and beds comfy.
Unfortunately the cooked breakfast was not good. Everything was over cooked and dry and(in my opinion) seemed warmed up after being cooked a long time previous. However there was plenty of toast and cereal!
Location was great too. 10 mins walk to beach and town centre

It’s okay
Our room was a standard room which was on the small side. The bathroom was clean but the room carpet was stained probably from tea and coffee.
Unfortunately when we stayed there was building work happening on the establishment next door and each morning we were woken by the builders arriving, speaking loudly to each other and also swearing.we were not informed of this before we turned up! On our first night we were kept awake by the people in the room underneath.
The breakfast was very nice, the staff we met were friendly
We were told it was £10 to park in the car park for the duration of our stay which we paid. Unfortunately this is not guarantee you a space. It is a first come first served basis, so for the second night we had to park on a street around the corner. Overall we had an okay stay but not sure if we would stay there again
