Lovely little hotel on the outskirts of Bournemouth with a good quality breakfast at a reasonable price
Phil
We paid extra for delux rooms and our daughter’s room shower was running slow. The next morning was non existent so they showered in our room When we said about it when we left they said we should have turned the shower head to make the water run better Our argument is that surely it should be correct before we arrived
Breakfast took an hour to come out and was ok
Other than that it was clean

Room was cold for the price we paid. A very limited choice for breakfast. Not everything on the breakfast menu was available. The chicken slice tasted of pork.
Stephen
We have just returned home from an excellent 5 night stay at Balincourt. Staff were always friendly and helpful. The accomodation was top class and the breakfast options very good. The location couldn't have been more convenient with bus stops adjacent and a pub opposite.
Laurie
Stunning flowers at the front of the building set the scene for this lovely little gem. The property and the grounds are clean, well kept, the owners clearly take great pride in their business. Little touches in the bedroom, bottled water, chocs plus the usual tea/ coffee facilities. Fantastic location, easy to get to town/ beach. On a main road served well by local transport, but not at all noisy. A lovely stay, thank you.

Harps and Ricky run a fantastic 5 star hotel. There is nothing you could complain about from friendliness, room, food, bar, parking. It was a magnificent 5 day break. There is no way that we would not return.
Frances
Beautiful property with large, clean room and a nice beverage and breakfast lounge. Walking distance to town. Stocked with teas, coffee, water, cookies, hot chocolate, and chocolates. Would definitely recommend!

Great find in Bournemouth
Exceptional stay. Room was spacious and decor was to a very high standard. Very clean and the bed was so comfortable. Breakfast was excellent with plenty of choice of hot and cold food. Quiet location and would highly recommend.

As reported TV not functioning, parking extremely tight for my SUV. Overall impression house is worn out, a bit of rust in one place, cracked or missing silicon in others. Staff very good and friendly. Don’t think Expedia should call this five star, there is no restaurant, just drinks bar and breakfast

Very clean and excellent dining area although the room was a bit dated. Could do with modernising TBH. Excellent staff, Commodities in room very good. Good parking facilities and quiet even though it's situated on a main road.
John
Disappointed overall.
Booked a Superior double room. The main room blinds were broke so we could not let any daylight into our room.
Bathroom sink plug kept getting stuck. Bath water temperature would not decrease so had to use kettle to cool the bath to a safe level before bathing. Not really superior in my opinion.The host was pleasant and serving staff friendly. Never saw anybody manning the bar in the evening so no nightcaps!

Breakfast excellent choice and cooked fresh. Room very spacious only complaint the bath very high so my husband struggled to get in to shower after a hip operation.

Warm welcome
A lovely stay. We have stopped before. It is conveniently situated between Bournemouth and Boscombe and not far from the seafront. Always a warm welcome and a comfortable room and a breakfast to look forward to.
Barbara
Excellent Guest House
Very impressed with this guest house. We parked the car and used buses (located just outside) to get about Bournemouth and Christchurch. Bus service very good. Everything about this b&b was of high standard. The only problem one might encounter was the noise of the main road. We were at the front of the house. If the window was closed it was not a problem but on a hot night it could be.

Absolutely loved my stay here. They let us check in early because we arrived a few hours earlier and our room was ready. The room was well equipped and the breakfast was fantastic. The staff were super friendly as well, we felt very welcomed. Also loved the fact they had free parking, not like other places in the area
Juliet
Amazing stay! Lovely finishing touches too!
It was a fantastic stay… fabulous, spacious room and large bed with pretty duvet cover etc & comfy pillows. Very quiet at night. A lovely, welcoming family run business… friendly & helpful hosts. Excellent choice of cooked breakfasts included fruit, yoghurt, cereal etc etc. I’d recommend this and stay here again! Lovely finishing touches in the room & powerful shower. Great selection of teas & hot drinks in room (plus water bottles), with biscuits & a tea pot too! The rooms were cosy & warm. I’d usually prefer 100% cotton bedding (rather than their poly cotton) but this is the only thing I’d swap & it wouldn’t stop us returning. Thank you for a great stay!

What a Gem
I couldn't wait to get home to leave a review
Lets start from the beginning the lovely hostess greeted me and carried my bag up the stairs for me which is a rarity.
She recommended me a couple of places to wat in the evening which was helpful. The room was comfy and cozy and lots of selection for teas coffee etc . I would say the shower was a bit small but that's really picking as the room was lovely and the cleanest bathroom I have ever stayed at :)
The breakfast was fantastic lots of choice cereals yogurts and lovely fruit pots made up . I chose the vegetarian brekkie and my God if was good everything was fresh and piping hot . If I'm ever in the area again I will book this place in a heartbeat. The hostess was a diamond and she ran the place well so kudos to her. :)

This is a beautiful guest house and I cannot find anything to criticise. Staff were friendly and helpful. The room was spacious and well appointed with plenty of tea coffee and water complimentary in the room. Lovely breakfast with freshly ground coffee. Parking could be an issue though, as only limited space, and double yellow lines on main road just outside.

Great stay
Excellent stay at Balincourt. Super hosts and a lovely environment
Edmond
Spacious and comfortable room (great king-size bed!), however we had a serious issue with the water temperature in the bathroom of room 10.
The water was initially very cold and took a while to warm up for the first guest. For me, it was boiling hot and the temperature knob was clearly broken as I wasn’t able to get it to an acceptable level.
I’m very surprised nobody had ever reported this issue, but do think this is the type of things owners/housekeeping staff should check once in a while.
Also, we felt the overall welcome was rather cold - professional, but not even a slight interest in our trip or who we are (surprising for a B&B!).

5 star accomodation and friendly service
Excellent friendly service given by Ricci and Harms in their lovely Victorian building. The rooms were clean well presented and well stocked with everything you could want for a hot drink. Bottled water was available each day. Ricci's breakfasts were excellent!!. Fully rated the 5 star billing.The bus stop outside Balincourt gave a frequent service into Bournemouth allowing us to leave the car behind without the hassle of parking. Great three days. We will definitely be back for more in the future.
Edward
Excellent!
Couldn't have asked for a nicer hotel. Room was spacious and clean. Bed was very comfy. Good WiFi. Delicious breakfast. Run by a lovely lady (and her husband we assume but we didn't see him).
Only slight downside was that our TV only had a few channels but that didn't bother us.

Lovely place, nice a quite, traditional. Not a super big bath room, water pressure ok, Clean, comfortable bed, super personalised breakfast and friendly staff.

Great place to stay!
Lovely warm welcome where we were shown to our spacious room.
Nice super king size bed (room 9) good service tray with loads of teas and coffees, some biscuits, bottled water and little mints.
We parked when we arrived in Bournemouth at the property at 10.30 even though check in wasn't until 4pm and wandered into Boscombe and then Bournemouth.
Very comfortable nice sleep and heard no noise in the evening at all from other guests and black out curtains/blinds were briliant.
Breakfast was beautiful with an array of cereals and pastries, had the full English which was very nice (didn't have one but omlette on another table looked lovely) bread for toast was very nice, posh array of jams and spreads for it, then fresh fruit pots and plenty of different flavour yoghurts as well plus fresh fruit juices.
Couldn't fault anything at all hosts were attentive in everything they done.
Would definitely stay again and recommend.

no hot water. owner came to help and ran water in sink and shower. she thought it was ok. I said it was not acceptable to me. The shower was not warm nor was it ice cold. A female employee said boiler was fixed recently. It is still not good enough and it is a waste of water to run water for a prolonged period and the water still is not warm. The owner said it is a big house. It is still not good enough. House and room and breakfast was good.

Great cute hotel
We had a great stay in this hotel for the New Year’s Eve. Rooms were beautiful and clean and staff very friendly. Great breakfast. Loved accesories for hot drinks in our rooms and little treats.

Top quality, from the appropriate music in the dining room at breakfast and the lovely china sugar bowls on the table to the overall comfort of the room, bed and sleep.
