Wonderful stay
Just returned from a great 3 night stay in this gem of a hotel. Perfect location within easy walking distance of Highcliffe Castle and Avon beach. Staff were extremely polite, friendly and helpful in particular Ryan, the Operations Manager. We didn't eat any evening meals here but the breakfst was delicious and well presented with fine-dining crockery and cutlery. Our room was very large with a huge bed and a big light ensuite bathroom. The mattress was a little soft for our liking (just our personal preference) but we mentioned it to hotel staff and were immediately offered an alternative room - excellent customer service. We shall definitely return - worth paying a little more for such a great hotel

Great hotel , comfy and friendly, loved it .
We had just a one night stay and were really impressed with this hotel. Check in was very efficient , full explanation of the facilities. We had a very comfortable room and therefore a great nights sleep. The bedroom and bathroom were spotless. We enjoyed a delicious breakfast in the stylish restaurant. A good choice of cereals, fruit and yoghurt and a full English beautifully cooked and served . I really do hope to return to this hotel as we really enjoyed everything about it.

The hotel had a lovely homely feel to it. The staff are friendly and helpful. But unfortunately we didn’t have a very comfortable nights sleep, in fact we didn’t get a lot of sleep!! As the mattress on the bed had springs in that you could feel. It also didn’t help that it was two single mattress put together. Such a shame, the mattress is letting the hotel down.

Early in freezing cold January 2023, my wife and I were the only guests in The Lord Bute which also had staffing problems due to illness, The two who cooked and served our breakfast were brilliant; the room was not serviced but that did not present any problem to us.
