“The Ashleigh distinguishes itself through its dedication to canine guests, earning accolades as the UK's best dog-friendly B&B; its unique breed weeks and pet dining area are thoughtful touches. With Bournemouth Beach a short walk away, and a secure garden accessible anytime, this family-run hotel understands the needs of owners and their four-legged friends.

Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
The Ashleigh is lauded for its modern style and convenient location near Bournemouth Railway Station, making it easy to reach. Dog owners consistently appreciate the thoughtful touches, such as personalized bowls, bandanas, and even doggy dressing gowns, with the garden room offering 24-hour access to a secure garden that is particularly appreciated by those travelling with pets. While the mini-fridge odour was a minor issue for some guests, many enjoyed the breakfast and found the walk to Vitality Stadium and the town centre manageable.

warm welcome sleep spray comfortable slippers fridge odour small room missing window
The owner gave a warm welcome upon my arrival. The room featured calming sleep spray for the sheets. I also found slippers provided for extra comfort.
I noticed a small odour from the mini fridge so I didn't use it. The room I booked was rather small. There was no window to look outside.

mixed feelings about this stay

unpleasant odor thin walls
the room was clean. that much i can say.
the mini fridge in the room emitted a rather unpleasant odor. i tried to ignore it, but it was impossible to store anything inside. also, the walls seemed paper-thin, because i could hear every conversation and footstep from neighboring rooms. made getting a good night's sleep rather difficult..
