Chose Marlins based on TA reviews and were so pleased we did. The hotel is exceptionally clean and comfortable (although a softer bed would have been more comfortable for my arthritis). We were reassured from their website that there would be no rowdiness from hen or stag parties and although our room was next to the lounge, we were not... More

I chose Marlins on the basis of TA reviews, and am so pleased I did. Free car parking, friendly and helpful hosts, and perfectly cooked breakfast with good quality bacon and sausages. No stag or hen parties here, so a peaceful night's sleep in a comfortable bed! Didn't quite hit the 5 star spot for me - the ensuite shower... More

2 nights at Marlins in the garden room was very comfortable and warm because the weather was not so kind. The hotel is immaculate, breakfast delicious and no squeaky floorboards to keep you awake at nights. We really appreciated the extra pillows and all the other extras not always available. Really enjoyed our stay with free parking, comfortable bed and... More

We have just stayed at Marlins for 3 nights, and couldn't fault it. Very friendly and helpful owners Michael & Neil who recommended restaurants, asked if we knew the area (we know it very well) and suggested a ferry from Hengistbury Head to Mudeford, which we hadn't done before. The room was very clean, a comfortable bed (bigger than a... More

We stayed at Marlins over the Easter weekend for three nights and had an excellent stay in this delightful hotel. We received a warm reception on our arrival from the owners who were faultlessly helpful for the duration of our visit. The hotel is run extremely smoothly and has the perfect location, just minutes away from the seafront and town... More

My partner, my son and I stayed there last weekend and will most definetely return. The co-owner Neil was most pleasant and was the perfect host in giving tips for local restaurants, quickest way to the beach and phoning a taxi for us on our departure. If you want a quiet and relaxing base then this is it. The wi-fi... More
