We stayed in a couple of hotels over the weekend, the first was the Hermitage Hotel in Bournemouth (where some friends held their wedding reception on Saturday evening). The Hermitage was quite a nice hotel, although it appeared that we were staying on a floor that was in the process of being refurbished (the room was nicely furnished, but there was no real floor other than hardboard in the corridors). The second was the Passford House Hotel near Lymington (New Forest area). This was another hotel we found on the Johansens website (see our blog about Aberystwyth) and again it was a wonderful experience. The service was excellent, and the food was of a high quality too.
