“The Sandbanks strikes me as a reliably dog-friendly spot, right across from the beach - that's a huge draw. I particularly appreciate the reported attentiveness of the staff; that can truly make or break a stay. The recent renovations to the bar and restaurant areas seem to have paid off, adding a touch of modern polish to the overall experience.”

admiring sea view stay

motorcycle parking sea view spacious dining room
the staff permitted motorcycle parking behind the building upon my arrival. my room on the second floor offered a wonderful view. the dining area presented a spacious setting overlooking the sea during breakfast.
the room's decor looked somewhat piecemeal, with an old carpet piece obscuring a decaying window ledge. an old sock rested atop this, and a plug socket was loose. i believe improvements here would benefit future guests.

fantastic stay

friendly staff easy parking
The staff was very friendly and helpful! my room was super clean, i loved that parking was easy on a side street. I did not have to pay. it was a very enjoyable stay, i look forward to visiting next year!
The room was very hot, and the window opened onto a fire exit stairway accessible by the public. no fans were available for cooling the room. I found this to be quite inconvenient.
