We have visited the Balincourt each year for about 10 years now, the most recent stay being in May of this year. Every year the excellent standard is maintained in all areas. The rooms are very comfortable, and the breakfast is just lovely. We are always made very welcome. We had to change our booking at short notice, and Alison... More

We have just returned from another break at the Balincourt. We have been there a number of times now and it is a wonderful place to stay and very conveniently located since we never take a car. A lovely 15 minutes’ walk through Boscombe gardens to the seafront, and an invigorating walk along the seafront to Bournemouth, or just 10... More

Having had problems (noise related) in our original hotel I booked this B&B at 5am in the morning as an attempt to get some sleep! We had been booked in at another hotel for two nights as we were in Bournemouth to attend a wedding. Come 5am I was at the end of my tether and booked Balincourt. At 9am... More

Breakfast was beautifully presented and a great selection. While... More

I stayed one night on a business trip and would definitely stay again. The house is clean and bright. The rooms are spacious and well equipped. Wifi is included for free. Breakfast was promptly served and very good indeed.

we booked a superior room and it was very nice indeed. free wifi was important as we were in town for business. The bathroom was spotless. We chose to have breakfasts and were not disappointed. A very nice stay all round.

We stayed here for 2 nights over Easter. Our room was excellent and surpassed many hotels we have stayed in. Beautifully decorated with a very comfortable bed and everything we could possible wish for - tea/coffee tray, flowers in the room, chocolates, free bottles of water, free internet. No attention to detail had been spared. The bathroom was immaculate with... More

Great place to stay. Lovely and homely, excellent choices for breakfast, we had a superior room, really comfy bed, 6ft wide all the touches you could need. Tea, coffee, even a small buch of flowers in the room. Also, my husband had recently had knee surgery, and Nigel kept refreezing his ice pack for him. Never too much trouble for... More
