Top Milton Abbas Hotel Reviews

Haven Hotel

Haven Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"We have been to the Haven Hotel Sandbanks twice before. We love the views, the beach. The Hotel and staff. Very friendly, helpful, polite and welcoming. The breakfast had lots of fresh food choices. We loved looking out to sea whilst having a leisurely coffee. We ate in the restaurant for lunch once, Paninis and Sourdough sandwiches with coleslaw and crisps, very filling and delicious. We ate in the restaurant for dinner twice, the staff were very attentive. Perfect food! Great wine. We stayed Monday to Friday. Our room had a sea view, beautiful. Just one niggle, the shower tube was damaged and hardly any water came out making showering difficult. Water pressure not good. Although we have never had a problem before in other rooms. There is so much to do in Sandbanks, Poole, Shell bay and Brownsea Island. Including the pools, and leisure facilities. Staff and life guards were friendly and helpful too. The room was cleaned and beds made every day, thank you. The bar staff were friendly too. We had the best holiday, we hope to be back, thank you."

"Good sized bedroom and ensuite shower always hot and powerful. Lift to all floors which is useful with luggage.. Breakfast available, but we didn't try it. Hotel in a good location if you don't mind a walk through the lovely, well maintained gardens. Hotel does need updating, but that wouldn't stop us staying there again."

THE NICI Bournemouth

THE NICI Bournemouth

8/10 Good
"Loved the hotel, great value for money. I went for the cheapest room and it didn't feel like you were having a cosy room. Loved that there was a bath and shower. Felt great for adults but also child friendly, which is great when you like an adults hotel but are traveling with a child. Pool was lovely, views are great, felt like you were in the South of France. The only let down for me was the food. Breakfast was great. However we stayed on a Sunday and both restaurants had a Sunday roast menu. Which meant you had to go out for the evening if you didn't want more roast. The roast was not great. Veg came out cold and then the fresh were just not good. It felt like a cheap roast but wasn't cheap. Also who really wants roast in the summer. Some of the staff in the restaurant weren't the friendliest. All in all a great hotel."
