The basics were all covered. The room was clean, comfortable and very spacious. Guests have an allocated fridge space, which is a great bonus. Ours contained an embarrassing amount of Gin, Tonic and wine. Breakfast was spectacularly good and varied. However, what really makes this place special are the hosts, Jamie and Lee. They work tirelessly to ensure everything is perfect and still manage to maintain a joyous sense of humour and disposition towards guests. My favourite little treat was that Jamie would make subtle improvements to the room and common areas. It appeared to be my task to identify them and woe betide me if I failed. I'd get that look!

The only thing we didn't like was leaving.

It’s tempting to wax lyrical about the Cavendish, there is much it can rightfully brag about. Easy to find, with on site parking, and located close to the town and the seafront. It is appointed to a very high standard, with elegant and subtle touches throughout, more worthy of a four star hotel than a traditional B&B, it is spotlessly clean and quietly comfortable. The breakfast room was easy to find, well presented and the breakfast was superb. Thoughtful touches included freshly prepared fruit pots, yoghurts, bottles of water and jugs of milk in the fridge, delicious on a hot morning. The cooked breakfast menu is simple and unpretentious, and the choices are excellent. The food is freshly prepared and arrives hot and delicious. Jamie is an attentive, but not intrusive host, who welcomed us warmly as we were parking, by the time we left the following morning we were well rested, well fed and eager to return for a longer stay. We arrived as new guests but we were treated with a level of care that made us feel like regular returners. In a town that is awash with places to stay, the Cavendish has achieved the distinction of being head and shoulders above the rest. The host’s genuinely care about their guests, and provide a wonderful combination of hospitality and personality rarely found these days. The ratings don’t lie. Try it you won’t be disappointed.

Nothing.

After looking at the reviews on the Cavendish all we can say is that everything about the Cavendish could not be faulted. On arrival after a long car journey, we were very impress with the outside appearance and location. We were met by Jamie who was really friendly and shown to our room (5). Excellent room very clean and all you needed. Breakfast was very good with a choice of options. We were looked after by Jamie who was very easy to talk to and helpful with any queries we had. We would have no hesitation in recommending the Cavendish if you are visiting Bournemouth. You will not be disappointed

Could not find fault with the Cavendish or the owner we would highly recommend.

Firstly the lovely warm welcome on arrival. We were shown to our spotlessly clean,spacious and well equipped room which was serviced daily. The bed was extremely comfortable. The location is fantastic only a short walk to the beach and pier area and all the shops and great places to eat. Our hosts Jamie and Lee were a amazing and very attentive to any needs including a lovely surprise for my wife’s birthday which made our stay even more special. They were always on hand with ideas and suggestions for places to visit and good restaurants. Our stay included breakfast which was delicious and really set you up for the day. All in all the perfect place to stay for us and we will definitely be returning.

The only thing we didn’t like was leaving.

Lee and Jamie certainly know how a b and b should be run. The attention to detail was second to none. Breakfast excellent as was the service and set us up for the day. Everywhere was spotless and very tidy. Nothing was too much trouble for them, and they made us feel welcome at all times. We would return here without hesitation, and would recommend it to anyone else. If in Bournemouth again, we would not think about staying anywhere but the Cavendish..

Nothing we could think of - because it was raining when we got there, they even came outside with umbrellas to help us in with our bage !!!!!

The choice at breakfast was excellent. The full english was superb. Service was to the highest degree. Jamie and Lee were excellent hosts and nothing was too much trouble. The location was great for both the beach, walks and the shops. This is a must stay. The room was lovely spotless and comfortable. There was a lovely hospitality tray in the room. It was just purfect.

The only problem was having to come home from a fantastic hotel.

When we arrived Jamie came out to meet us and even helped us bring our luggage in, before showing us to our room The whole building was modern and tastefully decorated and exceptionally clean. Jamie & Lee, the owners, work very hard to make sure you have everything you could need. Our room had a proper hairdryer, fresh clean towels daily, free toiletries, tea, coffee, water, milk and biscuits replenished daily. Both guys were very approachable and gave us tips on places to visit and eat - when asked. I liked that they were always available if you needed something but you could come and go anonymously. Fantastic hot breakfast very nicely presented and cereals, toast and large home made pots of freshly cut fruit and yogurts. Plentiful pots of tea too!

Nothing!

The location was within easy walking distance of the town centre and the beach. The room had a good sized flat screen TV and en-suite bathroom and shower facilities. The breakfast was excellent with a good choice of options. The Full English Breakfast was superb. The owners were very friendly and could not do enough for us.

This is a very well maintained property with great attention to detail. The location is perfect! Lee makes an amazing breakfast!! I would say Jamie and Lee run a very sleek, friendly and highly efficient service!! Absolutely highly recommended!!!

Nothing, but I the 9 is for the faintest possibility of improvement 😀

The property was lovely and wonderful host, the breakfast was a good variety of choice and all cooked well.

The water left a lot to be desired, when we ran a bath the water was awful and you felt dirtier getting out than getting in, the water left a dirty ring around the bath😞
