Difficult to find any negative points regarding all aspects of The Winter Dene Hotel. Our room was very comfortable, very clean along with a superb power shower. Breakfast was not only very tasty but also served extremely promptly. A good sized easy to use car park is a real plus in Bournemouth, leave the car and enjoy an easy walk... More

We stayed here for just one night but wished it could have been longer. Our room was on the top floor and was very spacious and comfortable. It was spotlessly clean and the shower was excellent. The bed was very comfortable and we had an excellent nights sleep. The owners were great hosts. The breakfast was very good. We will... More

I booked a family room for myself and two daughters age 8 & 14. We arrived and were met by Renzo who gave us the choice of available rooms, which isn't something I'd experienced before. We stayed in room 12 on the top floor and it was clean, comfortable and warm on such a chilly day. The beds were comfy... More

The room was clean and comfortable, and very spacious. The staff were lovely and really took care of us. On Easter day they gave us Easter eggs at breakfast which was a nice touch. It's hard to believe how little it cost.

We were switched to this hotel at the last minute due to an over booking elsewhere. What a stroke of luck! We were met at the door and welcomed in, shown to our room which was very spacious, two en suite shower rooms and a lovely view of the garden. Good parking and a short taxi ride to all the... More

Well, Renzo ( owner) was waiting behind the (locked) front door when i arrived. He gave me the key, had a very brief chat and that was the last time i saw him. Can't say much about the service, except there was no service front of house. The room was ok - VERY clean and tidy, but the bed itself... More

I've been waiting to answer this review until I could say we have replaced the bed, which has now been done. When guests have checked in they are given a key and are welcome to come and go as they please - the front door is kept locked for the security of everybody. Winter Dene is a guest house and... More

Had a really loveley weekend - room was very spacious, and was clean and very well appointed. Lovely shower, wanted to take it home with me. We were able to walk to and from the town centre and the beach with no problems at all. Breakfast was excellent. Will definitely recommend and would come back if we are in Bournemouth... More

This is our 3rd stay at the Winter Dean and we wouldn`t want to stay anywhere else in Bournemouth. Very welcoming, delightful rooms that are spotless clean and a great breakfast that sets you up for the day. Few minutes from the beach , just perfect. Deserves its 4 stars.
