Reviews and Ratings

Feedback about The Ashleigh from previous guests about their experience.
Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Guests consistently praise the personalized touches, particularly for dogs, such as the welcome pack including a personalized bandana and water bowl. The location is appreciated, being conveniently near Bournemouth Railway Station, a 10-15 minute walk from east cliff promenade, and a short drive to areas like Alum Chine for dog-friendly beaches. Rooms are often described as clean and comfortable, some featuring large beds and TVs, although a few guests found certain rooms to be very small. Breakfast is generally considered great and good value, and the availability of off-street parking is a definite plus.

a decent dog-friendly stay

personalised bandana warm welcome spacious room fridge odour long walk breakfast variety
the warm welcome from the owner charmed us so much. my dog received a personalised bandana and water bowl which was a lovely touch. we also found the beautiful room spacious and the bed felt huge and provided a great nights sleep.
we found a little problem, the mini fridge had an unpleasant odor and we couldnt use it. the walk to the beach seemed longer than expected, about 15 minutes. also, breakfast was nice, but i wish there was more variety.

The breakfast was good.
The room seemed smaller than advertised, and there was no view at all. I felt a bit claustrophobic because of it!

cramped room street noise
The room felt quite cramped. the limited space made it difficult to move around freely. I found myself constantly bumping into furniture. also the noise from the street was more noticeable than i liked, waking me up early.
