I was invited to a business lunch at the Norfolk Royale. Little did I realise that it would be a barbecue in the hotel's garden. No ordinary barbecue either as the main dish was lobster thermidore that was beautifully cooked and presented. For dessert an eton mess followed. The weather was perfect in Bournemouth with a lovely blue sky making... More

My partner and I enjoyed afternoon tea at the Norfolk Royale. It is very well situated, a short stroll from the shops, gardens and beach opposite the most fabulous art deco building. Inside we were greeted warmly by members of staff who were friendly and efficient. We were lucky enough to have a sunny day and sat in the gardens... More

From the moment you step into the hotel, you are greeted with the most warming atmosphere. The staff are so hospitable and friendly and to be greeted by the General Manager Simon Scarborough is amazing.

There was a fold down bunk bed which caused great excitement! The food was excellent and well presented, with a good choice for each... More

The room I was given was slightly dated much like the majority of the hotel. The breakfast was enjoyable! Hotel also has a small swimming pool. More

We stayed at the hotel for a couple of nights with our daughter. Our room was lovely, large and clean, but we did run out of toiletries which were not replenished. We were unhappy with the service in the restaurant for several reasons. Our evening meal was rushed on both nights because the staff were setting the tables for breakfast,... More
