Being picky, the shower pressure was a bit low and I personally dislike a shower curtain but other than that, we can't fault it.

Centrally located, safe private parking, wonderfully warm & friendly hosts, big comfortable bed, fantastic breakfast cooked to order. We loved it, and will definitely be back.

Exceptional property. Jamie couldn't do enough for us. Happy to provide help regarding places to visit in the area and how to get the best from our time there. Breakfasts substantial to a very high quality.

Nothing I didnt like!!!

A beautiful cosy hotel run by the fabulous Jamie and Lee. It felt like a home from home with a lovely spacious room with beautiful decor. A brilliant location for beach and town and breakfast was superb 👌. Jamie was the perfect host in the breakfast room and Lee the fabulous chef. Both Jamie and Lee were so happy and welcoming hosts with knowledge of the area and recommendations. Would absolutely stay here again. Thank you both for a lovely relaxing stay. Kim & Darren

Creaky floor boards in bedroom, however it wouldn’t stop me staying again. It’s an old property it’s to be expected, but maybe it could be improved.

Great location, guaranteed parking included, comfy bed, superb breakfast and friendly hosts

We were called by the owner to align on our arrival time and were later welcomed at the location. The owner was very friendly and helpful. Both the beach and the city center are at walking distance. Parking space is at the private property of the hotel, so I could safely park my motorcycle at night. The owner was very helpful in making sure it was in a good, safe spot. Breakfast was fantastic with fresh fruits, yogurts, juice, full English breakfast, coffee, etc. The room was spacious with a nice high ceiling and a large, clean bathroom. The location is quiet and we had a good night's sleep.

If anything we like a bath and didn’t have one. That said it is not a deal breaker and we will definitely be back.

We were greeted on arrival by the owner, he couldn’t be more welcoming. Loved the Art Deco theme in public areas. We had room 10 on first floor which was spacious, spotlessly clean and very comfortable. Breakfast freshly prepared to order, served on hot plates. Also full selection of self serve cereal, fruit, yoghurt and fruit juices. Extra pillows in room and made full use of fan due to high temperatures but slept well. Loved the extra touches, gorgeous cookies daily in room and a good selection of toiletries.

Traffic noise, but this was simply solved by closing the windows and using the supplied fan.

The people who run it, the bed, the breakfast. Jamie and Lee were both so helpful and friendly. The breakfast was superb with lots of good quality food to choose from. The room was tidied every day for our 4 night stay and kept very clean.

There was nothing to dislike. Everything was lovely.

Jamie is a fantastic host and cooks the most wonderful breakfasts! Our room was lovely, and cleaned everyday, which we wasn't expecting. There are also the little touches, which make a huge difference. Staying at the Cavendish, was like staying with family. You couldn't really ask any more. When we find ourselves next in Bournemouth, we will be booking here! Thank you so much Jamie, Lee and all the staff for making our visit exactly what we needed.

It’s tempting to wax lyrical about the Cavendish, there is much it can rightfully brag about. Easy to find, with on site parking, and located close to the town and the seafront. It is appointed to a very high standard, with elegant and subtle touches throughout, more worthy of a four star hotel than a traditional B&B, it is spotlessly clean and quietly comfortable. The breakfast room was easy to find, well presented and the breakfast was superb. Thoughtful touches included freshly prepared fruit pots, yoghurts, bottles of water and jugs of milk in the fridge, delicious on a hot morning. The cooked breakfast menu is simple and unpretentious, and the choices are excellent. The food is freshly prepared and arrives hot and delicious. Jamie is an attentive, but not intrusive host, who welcomed us warmly as we were parking, by the time we left the following morning we were well rested, well fed and eager to return for a longer stay. We arrived as new guests but we were treated with a level of care that made us feel like regular returners. In a town that is awash with places to stay, the Cavendish has achieved the distinction of being head and shoulders above the rest. The host’s genuinely care about their guests, and provide a wonderful combination of hospitality and personality rarely found these days. The ratings don’t lie. Try it you won’t be disappointed.
