Blue Palms is in an excellent location, easy walking access to the beach and Bornemouth centre. The rooms have everything you need and are spotlessly clean. The parking is a little tight but Jonathan happily helped out. The hosts here are really lovely people and their customer service is excellent! Would visit again.

Four of us booked here for the airshow. We were expecting breakfast available in mornings. Told by the owner ,go to the pub down the road . Breakfast advertised in hotel at 8 but when we got there it was 10 but told to go to the pub . The owner did not want to hire a chef . A bar was also advertised no bar. The place was clean but I think it was being run as a hobby.
