My partner and I have today returned from a 2night stay at The Elstead Hotel and although it is a little way out from the main resort we did not find this a problem at all (we travelled by train to Bournemouth not car). We would definately recommend this Hotel to others as we found the staff were very polite,... More

Just returned from a four night break at the Elstead Hotel. The hotel staff were very friendly and really made us feel welcome. All the rooms were clean and spacious, decor a little dated but this didn't affect our level of comfort. The breakfast on offer was superb. There wasn't any entertainment for the children but I wasn't expecting this... More

We stayed with a 4 year old who was looked after very well. The swimming pool was great and the gym equipment looked good too. The decor all looked fresh... More

We were lucky enough to get 4 days for the price of 3 and opted for the dinner, bed and breakfast option. It was amazing value. The hotel may be a bit dated but that didn't bother us at all. We had extremely good service from the moment we telephoned to make our booking to the time we checked out.... More

The room was nice: spacious, bright and clean. There was a fairly large television on the wall. We had a fridge so that... More
