Run by a wonderful couple, Martin and Jing, I wholeheartedly recommend you seek it out if you are Bournemouth bound. There was a problem with my light in my room, which was not an issue to me as there were a couple of lamps as well, but they were very sweetly insistent that I moved into their top floor family room which has a sea view and is fabulous. My work takes me all over the country and I am certain this would not have happened at very many of the hotels I have frequented (I'm a bit of a self confessed tight-wad and don't like to pay more than £50 for a room). The initial room I had was £35 which already represented supreme value. The decor throughout the place is immaculate and a world away from the frayed fleapit drudgery that Philip Larkin used to base poems on. And alas which I've encountered and sometimes payed more than £35 a night for the dubious pleasure. Martin and Jing are wonderful, helpful hosts, talkative and instantly welcoming, the breakfasts are a delight with many appealing options, everywhere is spotless and they get all the little details right (umbrellas to borrow, biscuits in your room that are actually enjoyable to eat, quality tea and coffee, clean, new towels, lots of tourist info, wifi, a comfortable and accessible lounge). I was there for 3 days and loved it. Plus if you've not been to Bournemouth before it is well worthy of a visit, as is nearby Poole. Antique shops, quaysides, olde worlde charm, great bars and imaginative restaurants. It's a splendid part of the UK. And The Cremona is your ideal base to explore it from.

Room Tip: You can't go wrong.

“Wonderful small hotel, and perfect for groups”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 November 2011

Our writing group has just finished our second weekend stay at the Cremona, having returned after a weekend here last year. Martin and Jing are so kind and helpful, and made their sunny comfortable breakfast room available for us to write in all day on Saturday and Sunday morning at no extra charge. They even provided drinks, copious snacks and pens and paper, again at no charge. The hotel is spotlessly clean and comfortable, lovely rooms and excellent breakfasts. It's quiet and well-positioned, very close to restaurants, the seafront and the town centre. We are already talking about coming back next year!

“Great Hotel”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 November 2011

We spent the weekend in Bournemouth and it was lovely overnight stay at the Cremona. The owners were very friendly, and very welcoming upon arrival.They were very helpful in showing us the best places to go while we were there, we couldn't have asked for much more.The room was very clean and tidy, and it was nice to have tea and coffee ammenities in the room. The breakfast was delicious, and the dining area was very modern. Would visit again!

“Family Friendly, Great place!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 October 2011

We really enjoyed our recent weekend at The Cremona Hotel. We stayed in the family room with our 3 children (ages 8, 5, and a one year old who slept in a travel cot). The room and bathroom were spotlessly clean- and I am picky about this! The entire place is tastefully decorated and well maintained. Huge fluffy towels in the bathroom, plenty of shampoo and soap. The breakfast was really good with something for everyone. They even provided a highchair for our baby. The owners were very welcoming and helpful. There is a carpark located a short distance away for a small fee which we used. The hotel is well located- very easy to walk to the beach, shops, town, restaurants, etc. Would definitely stay here again. Thoroughly enjoyed it!

Room Tip: If you're traveling with children, ask about the family room which features a double bed and two...
