The Spyglass and Kettle By Greene King Inns

The place needs a face lift, a room over a pub that looks tired. However the staff are brilliant, so lovely and helpful. The food is good value for money, pub grub. Location is great if you want the beach. If you like a good walk, 3.5mins (1hr 15 mins) to Bournemouth Pier.

Older property with a pub below. We liked our stay except for the sloping roof (ceiling) room, where we kept banging our heads.

It's the location that brought me here. Across the road from the cliff tops with adjacent bus stop to take you to Christchurch or Bournemouth and Poole. It's a pub. Some friends and I had a very nice lunch on a hot busy day. I needed ice to keep medication "refrigerated" and the bar staff and housekeeping staff were extremely helpful. Cleanliness was good. The room had been cleverly modernised but was basically in an old building. You couldn't see the beach because it was at the bottom of a cliff. But you could see the sea. I'd stay again.
