We have just returned from 3 nights at the Bay View Court Hotel in Bournemouth. Good facilities and live music every evening we were there, see web site for details.
We also went to a jazz evening at the Longham Bridge House Hotel. Gerry Brown was on trumpet and jokes. He likes to dish out stick to the audience but if we answer back he says "no hecklers please". He can dish it out but he can't take it.
Of our day trips we liked Wimborne, Shaftesbury and Poole Quay. We give an emphatic thumbs down to Swanage. Car parking charge of 2.5 pounds is bad enough but notes/cards are not accepted and no change is given. How many people have exactly that amount of change in their pockets ? Get lost Swanage, we won't be spending any money in your town !
