4.0 out of 5 | We spent 2 very restful nights at the Bees Knees. The rooms are tastefully furnished and spotlessly clean. Shell and Graham were most helpful with tips on what to see in the area and have a good range of information brochures available. They are open and friendly and made us feel very at home. The breakfast menu is varied with top quality organic and homemade produce. The homemade digestive biscuits we found in our room each evening were delicious! We didn't have an evening meal but the sample menu looked wonderful and we would definitely try it next time. The Bees Knees is ideally located for getting into Bournemouth or Poole by bus but absolutely quiet with a lovely garden to sit in. The name Bees Knees is well deserved! a gabellini - 31 Aug 2008 |
5.0 out of 5 | Bed and Breakfast of the highest standard, we were made to feel as if we had known them for years. Would recommend them to anyone. Nothing was to much trouble. Tina Garraway - 19 Aug 2008 |
5.0 out of 5 | We stayed for 3 nights and found this to be the best B&B that we have ever stayed in. The room was furnished to a very high standard, was exceptionally clean and very comfortable. The bathroom contained a top of the range power shower and the bathroom itself gleams with cleanliness. The food provided was excellent and tailored to our requirements. We also found our stay to be quiet and peaceful. But most of all we found our hosts Shell and Graham to be very friendly, kind and considerate. Kevin Offley - 14 Jul 2008 |

5.0 out of 5 | Graham and Shell made me feel very welcome at Bees Knees as I prepared for my fishing trip out of Poole. In the morning they were very kind and gave me a lift to and from the boat despite the fact I hardly even caught anything! I would definatley return, they were very friendly and ran a high quality professional set up too. Daniel Rees-Jones - 16 May 2008 |
5.0 out of 5 | We stayed for 2 nights and were made to feel extremely welcome. The room was fabulous with Art deco furniture and beautiful en suite bathroom. The breakfast was fantastic - lots of of choice, excellent quality and plenty of it! We also had an evening meal which was as good as any decent restaurant could provide, but with better service! The atmosphere is homely, relaxed and friendly and they both go out of their way to make you feel welcome and to make your stay as relaxing as possible. We plan to go back in August..thank you Graham and Shell for making our stay so great...they even gave us chocolates to celebrate my partners birthday! Tracey Lawrence - 4 May 2008 |
4.7 out of 5 | We stayed for two nights, we were made to feel very welcome. The home cooked breakfasts were divine. The evening meal was fantastic.
Our room though small was fitted with very high quality fittings and tea and coffee was provided with fresh milk. We returned to our room after a busy day to find home made cookies- very nice. Will choose to return if we go back to Poole. Would highly recommend to all |

5.0 out of 5 | Exceptional B&B, very welcoming and eager to please. Great attention to detail - everything is spotlessly clean, food was great, cosy home-away-from-home atmosphere, beautiful garden at the back, couldn't be faulted. We stayed only for the night, wish we could have stayed longer.
