The Ravensbourne Hotel

this is not a bad place to stay, it's just one I'd be unlikely to choose on my own. The location worked for us (we have our own vehicle) and Carl seems like a nice enough and helpful enough guy. The room was reasonably comfortable. What would put me off for this in a future booking is the shared bathroom situation. Awkward to be in the shower in the morning and have someone turning the light off (switch is outside the door) and knocking.

I cannot recommend this guest house enough. Where do I begin!! The room we stayed in was huge with a gorgeous bay window on the ground floor. There was a sofa, chair, TV, wardrobe, king size bed and chest of drawers, plenty of space to stay for 2 weeks let alone just a night or two. The bathroom is a little dated, but has had upgrades to it such as a light up colour changing mirror and I just loved the little touches like method hand soap which made it feel a bit luxury. My husband and I slept like a log! The mattress was divine, a pillow topped king bed and the pillows were not lumpy and bumpy but instead perfectly plump. Breakfast is continental with loads of choice of tea and coffee, cereal, cheese, toast and fruit. I would 100% stay here again without a shadow of a doubt. It was one of the best stays I have had.

Great location as a very short walk to both shops and places to eat as well as beach/sea front. Clean room and friendly welcome with parking in front of hotel. No cooked breakfast but help yourself to toast, yoghurts, cereals etc. Bowl of sweets at the front door is a little surprise. Although we knew it was a shared bathroom it didn't feel too bad as didn't seem like not many other people were using it but then we only stayed 1 night.

We booked a stay here as we saw a review saying how close it was to the O2 Academy, where Travis were playing. It is literally a 5 minute walk away. I cannot fault the place, for the price. Our room was lovely and clean, the bed so comfortable, and as it was in a quiet street we had a lovely night’s sleep. The shower was powerful and refreshing. We arrived mid morning as we travelled a distance to get here. Our room, understandably wasn’t ready, but the owner was more than happy for us to leave our car on the drive so we could get the bus into Bournemouth town, and do some exploring. Boscombe pier is only a 10 minute walk away and has a Harvester next door, so we didn’t have far to go for our evening meal. Breakfast was available at our hotel, but we had to forgo as we had to leave early. There was a conservatory room where you could sot if you wanted to. I really cannot fault this place, and we will definitely be staying here again on any future visits.

We stayed here for two nights over this weekend . I can honestly say I cannot fault anything . The room was very clean and spacious. The bed was comfortable and had spare bedding. There was plenty of wardrobe space and chests of drawers. There were three radiators and also an electric fire so it was as warm as toast. The room had a Lg modern Tv with free view ( + sleep timer) also a hair dryer. Everything was spotlessly clean. The bathroom had a powerful hot shower and bath, soft close toilet and heated led bathroom mirror. There is a great choice for breakfast ie toast,cereal ( including gluten free) ,yogurt,and cheeses .You could eat as much as you liked. I would also like to mention Rowen our host who was so helpful and polite . Nothing was too much trouble and he made you feel so welcome . Thank you. There is parking available out the front with a selection of spaces . These are first come first served. The location is very good and would make a great base to explore the area whilst away. We will certainly stay here again when we come to visit our son who is at Uni . Thank you again for an excellent stay.
