巴林科特飯店(Balincourt)

We booked a one night stay as we were going to a concert at BIC. We’d seen good reviews and the hotel completely lived up to these. It’s a good 20 minute walk to BIC but we were lucky either way the weather so that wasn’t a problem, and the location was great for a walk along the beach to Boscmbe the following morning. Our room was comfortable and beautifully decorated, with a bathroom that looks like new. We were offered fresh milk for the room, a nice touch that is to often missing. Breakfast was great, with plenty of choice and everything beautifully cooked. We asked to arrive and park early to make sure we got a space, and also to leave our car for a while after checking out so we could go for a walk, and they were great about both. We’re relatively local so don’t often stay in Bournemouth, but would definitely stay here again, and recommend it to others.

We were in Bournemouth for a conference and the Balincourt had everything we needed for a short stay. It was clean and comfortable. The breakfast was good and the staff were attentive and helpful. Being able to park on site was great - not all places can offer this.

Lovely guesthouse, staff so welcoming and everywhere was clean and well decorated. We stayed in room 8 which was a lovely big room with a stunning bathroom. We got there early so managed to park as not many spaces but there is availability nearby aswell. Breakfast was really good, we will be looking to return later in the year.

Little treasure this hotel shame we only had one night ... so clean everything you could want need.. staff lovely... breakfast service and food 👍 perfect ... only thing I would ask for is frosted glass covering on bathroom window so that you can still have natural light coming in bathroom that's all👍we will be back in the future 😊

The Balincourt guesthouse with excellent customer service. We have going to Bournemouth for many years and have always enjoyed our stay at the Balincourt. The rooms are cosy and clean. The breakfast is tasty and just right. It also has free parking and many hotels in Bournemouth charge for parking which really bumps up the cost of your stay. Harps the host and owner is personable, she takes time out to get to know the guest giving you that feel that your stay is special. We would recommend people to stay at Balincourt guesthouse.

Room 5 was clean and tidy decor very dated staff helpful good food breakfast we couldn’t get in the shower it was to small Aril on tv was broken the lights didn’t work needed new bulbs the owner sorted the lights out and the Ariel we were offered a different room the day before we come home we really could not be packing all our things up for one night the owner told us when we left she was thinking of getting a new shower put in at some point but it didn’t help us with our stay very unhappy customers

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!

Unfortunately we had to leave after one night due to family illness and owners were understanding thank you Sadly the description online didn’t live up to expectations Deluxe room was basic and cheaply decorated Our requested quiet room wasn’t as guests overhead sounded like a stampede of elephants Not particularly their fault as floorboards creaky etc Breakfast was tasty but one vegan sausage in comparison to full breakfast with bacon eggs sausage etc was poor Issue with sink plunger getting stuck so unable to use sink. Next day I was told to fiddle with it to release it We did for 30 minutes but should a guest have to ?! Location is on a very busy road very close to not pleasant areas of Bournemouth- sadly the area in general is very run down and sad now compared to last visit 4 years ago

Great breakfast with proper table linen and china. Lovely staff. It has an excellent location within easy walking distance of the centres of Bournemouth and Boscombe. A bus stop nearby and very frequent services give easy access to places further afield. The guest house is very clean and deserving its good reviews.
