Bournemouth Highcliff Marriott Hotel

Bournemouth Highcliff Marriott Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"Lovely hotel with great staff. Everyone was friendly and helpful. We stayed in the cottage’s which were better then we expected. They had nice views of the beach, pier and gardens. The swimming pool was a good size, warm and clean. Breakfast was varied and good quality. Room service was excellent and the staff were helpful bringing it in. Only downside was no dressing gowns in our room which would have been helpful to go to the pool but overall a great stay."
