Convenient to Bournemouth and airport pre-cruise.
Good location close town centre
Couldn’t park outside the lodge either not enough spaces for the amount of guests staying or possibly golfers using those spaces
Location. Staff. Pool etc. Grounds.
Room wasn't cleaned very well, sticky table, sweet wrappers and mud under bed.
Peaceful Location . Very helpful and courteous staff . Facilities eg swimming pool . Excellent breakfast
Good location for Bournemouth if don't want to stay in the centre
Happy with everything
Facilities, staff and breakfast all good. Bed comfortable.
Furniture in room needs upgrade. No bedside cabinet on one side of bed in room 7, had to use narrow window ledge for bits and pieces. Restaurant not open for 2 of our 4 nights.
Great breakfast ,
Spa facilities and breakfast choices were excellent.
The shower in our room eaves roof, couldn't stand up in it....
Lovely stay, room Completely adequate had everything we needed ! Staff welcoming and extremely accommodating
Liked everything and will visit again
Comfortable rooms. Quiet, wooded location. Short, level walk to reception, pool, gym, spa and bar. Didn't eat or drink there, so cannot comment. Bathing robes, towels supplied.
Nothing. Glad I reserved parking directly outside The Lodge
Great location easy walking distance to the town and beach
Room was very hot and stuffy, there wasn’t a shower, just a shower head to the side of the bath, which wasn’t easy to sit or kneel in the bath to wash and wash hair. This wasn’t in the details
Position was good nice and quiet
It was well maintained. Clean and tidy.
None apart from location is a bit high.
Such friendly reception staff. Great pool and location to walk to be able to walk to the beach
Rooms were very hot however I doubt this could be helped in the heat we had been having!
Location good and food good, staff very friendly,great that you can use gym, pool etc.
If anything the room is a bit on the small side but still ok
We paid extra for a larger room with a view, which was lovely. The choice at breakfast is really good. The staff are friendly and helpful.
Nothing.
Facilities were good. Breakfast lovely, room clean.
Nothing really,
Clean Near to the centre Having the use of the pool sauna steam rooms Staff really friendly
Didn’t change towels for the whole of our stay
Room very hot , had a fan but took ages to cool down
We enjoyed the short walk into town and the quiet. We also made good use of the pool and spa. The breakfasts were of very food quality and filling enough for the day.
I was not overly impressed with the shower in the spa, I believe it needs a water flow increase.
Clean
Parking
I really enjoyed my stay here, very clean, staff were friendly, food was delicious, spa was great, plenty of parking and overall a really nice setting. Close to Bournemouth beach and the shops too.
The only thing I’d like to mention is the shower didn’t work can’t remember which room we were in (Tuesday night). Forgot to mention on way out yesterday. Apart from that I was very happy with everything and would stay here again.
The Lodge ist super schön gelegen - weitläufig im Grünen und fußläufig zum Strand oder ins Stadtzentrum. Das Personal ist sehr freundlich.
Wir haben das Lodge gebucht, weil uns die Möglichkeit, das Schwimmbad zu nutze, sehr angesprochen hat. The Lodge gehört zu einem privaten exklusiven Golf- und Sportclub, aber uns hat es enttäuscht! Das Schwimmbad ist ungepflegt insbesondere im Duschbereich. Die Duschen müssten mal ausführlich gereinigt werden (Schimmel in den Ecken). Die Duschbrausen sind altbacken wie in einem öffentlichen Schwimmbad in den 1980er Jahren. Die Möblierung im Hotelzimmer ist abgenutzt und müsste erneuert werden. Das Toilettenpapier ist billig - dünnlagig!
the entire adventure was fabulous
nothing
Very friendly staff, the room was really big clean and quiet. Away from the main building.
Very good all round
The drug users hanging around close by
Environnement calme dans la verdure proche de la ville. Piscine et spa très agréable et propre. Personnel très agréable et aimable
La moquette dans la chambre au rez de chaussée. Petits déjeuners servis. Trop copieux, préfère en self. Peu de variété de fruits, pains ou gâteaux
Frühstück und Gästehaus an sich waren schön
Um zum Zimmer zu gelangen, musste man vom Parkplatz eine steile Treppe nutzen, was für mobilitätseingeschränkte Reisende sehr beschwerlich ist. Außerdem gab es vom Zimmer aus nichts zu sehen, dafür die nahegelegene Schnellstraße zu hören. Nach Bezahlung des Abendessens verschwand der Koch. Essen gab es keines mehr, das Geld wurde erstattet. Eine andere Verpflegungsmöglichkeit gab es nicht.
Peaceful and convenient location
Nothing
Rustige ligging en toch op wandelafstand,20 minuten,van het drukke centrum. Goed en uitgebreid ontbijt.
Geen van de bedside lampen werkte. Niet genoeg stopcontacten om gsm’s op te laden.
Comfortable bed and great on site facilitiies
Very friendly staff couldn't do enough for us
La bienveillance des personnes de l’accueil et l’emplacement du lieu au calme.
Pas énormément de place de parc devant l’établissement …
Had a fabulous stay to attend a local event with friends. Quiet comfortable room. Great setting. Lots of treese. Lovely helpful friendly staff. Use of absolutely brilliant pool and spa facilities, which i had virtually to myself. A very enjoyable stay all round. Highly recommended.
Location is really nice. All the staff were very welcoming and friendly. Use of the gym and other facilities is a really great addition. Gym is well equipped and not overly busy which is exactly what I wanted. Breakfast was really tasty, ordering fresh from the menu.
The room I had was ground floor, without air conditioning, and during a heatwave I really wanted to be able to open the window and have good airflow, however it didn't feel very private because of this. Continental breakfast options a little limited.
Location, quiet and spacious
N/a
The reception staff were lovely & the location was great
No bar fridge, no aircon & the pillows were lumpy
Good shower ..
Requested an upper room and got a basement one . Mattress was 2 singles made into a double so very uncomfortable. Round pin plugs on beside table lamps . Toilet seat not aligned with toilet . Leak under basin . People could look in when walking past the room . TV on wrong wall also heated towel rail was on wrong wall and difficult to sit on toilet seat . That was room 15 and would not book this lodge again .
The staff were super helpful and friendly. The location is also much closer to town than we realised. Finally, it’s a lovely green, foresty space which is calming.
The rooms are a bit tired, but very clean and good quality linens. Road noise was an issue when trying to sleep with the windows open in the heat, but it’s a gentle hum that you get used to.
Great staff. Lovely place. Highly recommend
Qualité de literie
Le bruit de autoroute très fort et absence de informations complète sur NON accès au établissement de spa, piscine et santé à mes filles de 12 ans! L’information a été donnée seulement après le booking non remboursé sans information sur le possibilité de annulation! Très dessus de cette établissement!!!
Location
The accommodation was appalling. We were provided with a non ventilated non airconditioned superior double room at the top of the house. It faced south. The temperature in the room was about 30C and it was humid. A small was useless. The management either would not or could not change our room. My wife and I are in our late 70s and the conditions were such that we were obliged to leave the intolerable conditions in the room the first night and left to travel home. We could not stay the second night of our booking and the management refused a refund. I would never stay there again. Dr & Mrs Michael Powers
This golf and leisure centre has a lodge with 17 rooms, situated near trees, nice and quiet in the evening. We had a standard room, which was quite warm, the window can only open a little way, but the bed was comfortable, there was quality coffee and tea in the room, and plenty of hot water in the bathroom. Twice a day we went for a swim, sauna and jacuzzi, all spotlessly clean and not too busy. We had 2 evening meals in the bar that were fine, only complaint that the meals should have been hotter. Breakfast is freshly cooked and very tasty. All staff very friendly and kind
The room was too warm, we couldn't ventilate it enough, with the window only opening 2 inches. The lukewarm meals in the bar Small tv, high up on the wall, not opposite the bed
Everything was lovely
Room cou have been cooler
Beautiful location and oasis of wellness facilities and beautiful scenery
On a hill so people with mobility issues my not find the location comfortable
Lovely and quiet location. Clean room. Comfy bed. Lovely staff!
Hilly walk to the centre / kids swimming only weekends
Freundlicher Empfang, saubere Zimmer, gute Lage.
We stayed for a birthday getaway which we were provided with a couple of free drinks and a birthday card which was an unexpected touch! The property is beautiful hidden gem in Bournemouth town. The swimming pool was lovely, with the jacuzzi and sauna being a nice touch. The club house dinner and breakfast was wonderful. Super easy to park a car here, and that it is free to park was a wonderful bonus. The staff were faultless and helped with a great experience before during and after visiting. Staff even assisted with returning a forgotten item in the room. Definitely would come back!
Staying in room 1 while being tall people was an adjustment not to hit your head on beams/doors but this was the only fault. The room was a lovely overall size.
Lovely location and great facilities. Clubhouse was good value for money, great food and selection
The duvet tog was too heavy for the time of year would suggest a lighter tog for summer
The room was perfectly adequate although I wished I'd worked out that I didn't need to carry my suitcase down the stairs! Managed to keep the room cool enough with provided fan Loved the pool and sauna/steam room so an early morning swim each day was fab
Nothing!
Hidden away in Meyrick Park, Spa really nice
Restaurant is really the Golf Club cafe so limited menu but food was OK considering
Lovely big room and nice ensuite. Great facilities though we only used the pool which was so refreshing in the hot weather. Easy walk down to the beach.
A fridge in the room to keep water cold would have been ideal
Hidden Gem of Bournemouth, great quite countryside location but not far from the city centre or beaches. Brilliant Customer service from all the staff
Wish we could have stayed longer

The lodge is in a great location with amazing on site facilities. All the staff were super friendly and the rooms were so clean and full of the essentials. It was 30 degrees and the rooms had no A/C but were not hot at all. The fan in the room was perfect when sleeping under the covers in the evening. Would definitely stay again!
Would be great if there was a mini fridge in the room.
Helt ok rom, vi ankom etter midnatt, rask og effektiv inn-sjekk vedvankomst, og fikk lov å beholde rommet frem til 12:00 neste dag. Utrolig bra treningsfasiliteter inkludert svømmebasseng! Utrolig hyggelig og imøtekommende personale.
The interaction with the staff who were excellent
Modern comfort in the lodge rooms- clean, modern bathroom, well equipped bedroom and quiet. Lovely health club facilities- large gym and great size pool, staff were very helpful and friendly and good choice of breakfast items. Will definitely return and stay longer
Run down, dated rooms with old furnishings. Room smelt of drains and sewerage. Really lovely surroundings until you step into the room. Luke on reception is the best thing about this venue.
Rooms are old and dated with storage heaters and furniture older than me. Rooms smell damp and of sewers.
Cleanliness, modern amenities, comfortable, room size, facilities, excellent swimming pool & gym facilities, location, very friendly & helpful staff. Good, flexible breakfast & other menu options.
Nothing
Very helpful staff Good food choices
Bedding unsuitable. Thick duvets in summer not appropriate. Situated by main dual carriageway so lots of road noise. Unable to open windows. No Aircon.
Staff were very friendly and accommodating. Great setting and everything was clean and great value for money with use of pool etc
Two spiders in the room but imagine once cleaned they reappear so not a big deal.
Reception staff were very pleasant
The accommodation was very bad. It was the top of the building (no lift). Heat in the room overnight was 28C+ and very humid. There was no air conditioning and worse, the small windows of the south facing room had very limited opening. It was impossible to sleep and the staff were not able to provide alternative accommodation. In the end we left at 04.00 as it was intolerable and we cancelled the second night we had booked. The hotel refused a refund even of only the second night despite the conditions. We would not stay at this place again
Fab breakfast wrap, very tasty. Friendly service too
This location was perfect for our needs. The club house was welcoming and the food was first rate and reasonably priced. All the staff were friendly.
The Lodge is part of a leisure club, and we were able to use all the facilities throughout the days we were there - even after check-out. That included pool, spa, excellent gym, classes, and golf. All this is just a few minutes walk from Bournemouth town centre. Staff were very welcoming, and breakfast was good.
Our upper floor room was in the eaves, which meant there was no space for a walk-in shower. That's the only reason to mark down our stay. We'll definitely stay again but I'd enquire about getting a downstairs room with shower.
Location was excellent, breakfast as good as any
We arrived late due to the Poole ferry and was greeted with locked doors and a very dark driveway up to the lodge. The night porter did his best though.
We booked this mainly as we were looking for free parking and a gym. The gym exceeded all expectations, being part of the Meyrick Park Golf Club. Good breakfast with choice of cooked meal plus buffet of fruit, cereals, yogurt etc.
The room was a bit small and we requested a change of room as, while it felt like we were in the middle of the countryside, there was quite a bit of traffic noise from our original room.
De prachte golfbaan die we hebben bespeeld en de faciliteiten.
Bedden lagen niet heel fijn. Dat wad jammer want de rest was uitstekend
The beds were very comfortable and the room was nice. Staff were so helpful and lovely. Lovely pool.
Biggest disappointment was the breakfast - the smoked salmon was about one dessertspoon of trimmings on a piece of toast! The pool was lovely but it would have been useful to have a member of staff on duty to stop a very amorous couple in the hot tub!
Lovely spacious room, exceptionally clean, everything we could need
Everything was wonderful
The staff were friendly, helpful and efficient. The rooms were clean and well-stocked with tea, coffee etc. The bathroom was very clean and felt newly renovated. It was good value.
The exteriors of of the Lodge are quite drab, worn and unappealing. I think they are in need of refurbishment to feel more modern or at least less old fashioned and neglected.
Fantastic stay. Staff are welcoming and friendly. Food was amazing, great chefs. Lovely clean room, and decorated nicely.
Very convenient for the centre of Bournemouth.
Thin walls - woken up to thumping music from next door.
Facilities were lovely
Nothing really
Quite location Comfortable room. Good free parking. Great helpfull staff.
lovely location comfy bed good spa facilities Staff excellent and friendly Short walk to town with cut through at back of lodge Quite steep and some steps We got taxi back £7.00
Breakfast wasn't the best Continental choices where minimal Hot breakfast was to order but was cold on arrival & toast was warm bread even though we asked for it well done Unfortunately the chef was ill and had gone home so no evening meal available Had paid for superior room in Lodge It wasn't anything special small bathroom with over bath shower The shower screen door didn't open had to climb in to run the bath and get in again to turn off before bathing. The tile grout at this end of the bath was grubby obviously the staff have a similar problem when cleaning Could do with refurb
The place as a whole
Nothing
Mooie locatie, comfortabele kamer en vriendelijk personeel
Kleine badkamer
A very comfortable room with excellent facilities, including a sauna, swimming pool and steam room. Just a short stroll from a sandy beach, and perfectly placed for beautiful coastal hikes.
Very quiet room with a lovely view into the surrounding woods. Rooms were spotless and very comfortable.
The club house with it’s fabulous facilities where such a bonus. We all loved the swimming pool. The sleeping accommodation is quite dated but perfect for a few days. Extremely comfortable beds and modern bathroom . Everywhere cleaned to an exceptionally high standard
The rooms a little dated could do with a bit of an update.
The staff were wonderful and helpful, nothing was too much trouble for them
I can’t say I didn’t like it, it just wasn’t what I was expecting. It was only a brief 1 night stay before we went to a wedding the next day.
Upgraded room, very comfortable. Kettle coffee and tea bags good
Difficult to drive to and reception in another building. These are minor things
The facilities were great, the area was really quiet and out of the way but close enough that its really close to the town center
My only issue was that there was only two uk plug sockets in the room, with devices to charge overnight and a fan, it meant a bit of juggling.
Quiet and well located
A bit dated
Staff are amazing! Could not be more friendly. The breakfast cooked freshly is lovely too as are the views
No late bar in the evening which is a shame as we were a large group of friends staying there. Also the rooms were hot and not private
Good value for money and nice location. Plenty of things to do and facilities around.
Limited parking in front of the lodge. However there's a big car park nearby. Would recommend check in (there's a parking space in front of the reception) , return to the lodge, which is a different building, drop the baggages and park the car after that.
The rooms were good although parkining is a bit spread out. The facilities are also good, with the inclusion of the gym and pool a bonus. We didn't play the golf course as we were booked to play other courses, but it looked very inviting and well maintained. The breakfast experience was thoughly enjoyable on both days and the staff were genrally good to excellent.
We were late arriving on our first night, but inside restaurant hours, but had issues ordering food and then with delivery. The service was generally poor and affected not only us but other customers as well. The restaurant manager was apologetic and explained that they were operating with a temporary chef. They then shut the restaurant for the second night of our stay but we'd already decided to walk into town, which is only 15 minutes.
Set in beautiful grounds the location is perfect for us. A few minutes drive from the West Hants Tennis club where my husband was playing in a tournament and a twenty minute walk from Bournemouth beach. We love the facilities and use the swimming pool, gym and classes are available but unfortunately never time to fit those in! Staff are always helpful friendly and accommodating. The breakfast is very good and service always with a smile! The executive double is very comfortable and overlooking the golf course.
We had a really enjoyable stay at The Lodge at Meyrick Park and wouldn’t hesitate to return. The room was clean, spacious, and very well presented, with an exceptionally comfortable bed that made for a great night’s sleep. The staff struck the perfect balance—bright, welcoming, and friendly, while never being overly intrusive. The leisure facilities were a real highlight. The pool, sauna, steam room, and jacuzzi were all excellent, and it was a genuine bonus to be encouraged to make full use of them throughout each day of our stay without any restriction. Another plus was the location. The walk into Bournemouth was short and enjoyable, offering a pleasant route into town. Overall, a relaxing and thoroughly positive experience.
Space
The breakfast was very satisfactory and the service was exceptional
I can not really think of anything
Perfect location, 15 minutes walk to town centre. Very clean, comfortable and spacious room. Very friendly and helpful staff. Couldn't ask for more.
Right next to the woods
Nothing
Very nice location, nice service everyone very friendly.
Only thing missing is that there are no fridge in the room
