The Wendy House B&B is a family home which offers a warm and welcoming environment. All our needs were taken care of, including parking and access to WiFi. We had booked a twin bed room which had use of a shared bathroom. The beds were comfortable and the bathroom was clean. Also, the cooked breakfast was made to order and was truly delicious. Wendy went above and beyond in supporting us to care for our new puppy which we were transporting home with us to Jersey. She even helped us give our puppy a little bath to freshen her up after her journey. Also, Wendy very kindly prepared us an evening meal and a glass of wine as we had been driving most of the day and had arrived late at the property and didn’t really have the energy to go out again. Thank you so very much Wendy for everything, my sister and I (and Florence) are truly grateful. I would have no hesitation in recommending The Wendy House B&B to friends and family as a base to stay either for an overnight before embarking or disembarking the ferry from Poole, or as a base to visit Bournemouth and the surrounding areas.

Everything! This hotel was lovely to me in almost every single aspect. Although the bathroom was shared the room had a sink and mirror so it was so useful for taking my time doing my skincare without the fear of other people wanting to use the bathroom! Breakfast, what a lovely breakfast as well, with a variety of cheese, marmalade and cereals to choose. Next to the breakfast room there's the garden door in which you can find a little pond with some koi fish. Carl, our host, was very nice too :) If I come back to Bournemouth I wouldn't hesitate to stay there again. PS If you find a Polaroid picture in a drawner, is mine, accidentally left it there.
