"Mam-gu Vi's" Speciality Shortbreads |
We have so many compliments on our “Home Made” biscuit’s we have decided to market them.You will always have a sample in your rooms whenever you stay. We hope you enjoy them.
Should you wish to purchase any as a gift you can always give us a call and we shall make them fresh for your arrival, if you are staying for a few days they may be able to be made to order whilst you are here at Abbey Court.
Why “Mamgu-Vi”?, I hear you say - this is Welsh for Grandma Vi, my lovely Grandmother and all the Shortbread varieties originate from her basic recipe. All made from fresh, natural ingredients, no choice in those days!
Varieties (subject to availability) – a choice of 2 per platter, each platter has 16 portions. All butter - Cherry – Rich Chocolate – Fresh Lemon – Peanut – Almond – Apricot – Date – Sultana/Raisin – Ginger – Walnut – Abbey Court special – Easter – Christmas. We are also considering a postal delivery – watch this space or give us a call. All our details can be found on the Home Page.

Breakfast was "Lush" |
The owners are welcomed us very warmly and breakfast was lush! I would recommend for a weekend away!
The only thing was the location, that we had to walk 20 min to Bournemouth pier but that is not that bad if u like walking and we did enjoy the walk!
The rooms are very clean and they have fruit and cookies everywhere as extras so that was nice.
(Boscombe Pier is only 5 mins walk through the Chine Gardens a very pleasant walk)

My job takes me across many parts of England & Wales and I have to say as well as being a very pleasant place to stay, the Abbey Court provides one of the most impressive breakfasts I have ever had.

Great Location & Experience |
The owners were very accommodating, friendly and helpful.
The location of the Hotel was also good, bus stop at end of road to catch cheap bus into Boscombe or Bournemouth.

Hello from Brandy & Lord Smudge |
Hello everyone, How we love meeting our 4 legged friends & we have trained Mummy & Daddy well!
We make sure you get your drinking & feeding bowls as well as some nibbles and those funny little bags they seem to carry with them, (they say they are for us.....but we have never seen Dogs using them! – have you?) If you need a towel for the beach, you only have to ask. Just bring a blanket and some favourite toys and you will have a great time.
OH! Nearly forgot Mummy & Daddy look after the Humans too with tea & coffee and here’s the double bonus....”home made” biscuits, and we all know how to get a taste of those don’t we?
We look forward to meeting you all one day soon. You know you will be looked after. Woof! Woof!

Hi Brandy & Smudge |
Dear Lady Brandy & Lord Smudge (Oh yeah and Anne and Paul). We had the time of our lives, the doggie biscuits were lovely and our owners made big yummy sounds eating the ones you also made for them. We had a nice clean place to sleep. Our owners liked the breakfast very much indeed, so much so with the quality and quantity they did not need to stop for lunch however they did have to stop at a number of times at pubs for local refreshment ;) which we could also go inside for a nice warm rest... The sea was only a few minutes walk down the road, but that sea was a bit funny we kept chasing it out and then it would come straight back in again !!!! need to try that again and again and again Woof woof!. We liked it so much we will be poping back for the odd weekend and even longer stays fully recommend this place. Love Tigger and Poohbear

I will never stay anywhere else.... |
I had been a guest at this Hotel for well over 20 years even before Paul & Anne arrived. I admit when the last owners left I was wary about returning, but the last owners chose well.
Paul, Anne and the dogs are great. they make me feel part of the family and I thouroughly enjoy my stay every year, I will never stay anywhere else.
Anne - I do enjoy my shopping trips, we do have some fun!! love Betty. xxx |

Nothing was too much trouble |
I felt that whatever I needed I could ask for and it would have been no problem for the owners.
The little extras of fresh fruit and lovely homemade cakes was a delight especially after a long journey. The cake was thoroughly enjoyed with a cup of tea. |

Dear Paul & Anne,
Just a quick e-mail on behalf of Robert and me to say thank you for a truly wonderful stay at your guest hotel on the 31st August - 1st September.
You made as all very welcome and your service was excellent in providing us plenty of information and who can forget about those wonderful breakfasts! Shame that some of the group missed out!
The wedding day went very well and the new husband and wife are now out in Italy on their honeymoon.
Once again, many thanks.

Thank you for making our Honeymoon Just Perfect |
Paul and Anne are extremely friendly that give us the feeling of a family here. This is the warmest place we stay in England. We feel safe, warm and even eager to return here after a long day trip around. Thanks a lot!
Now back in Hong Kong, we have shared our photo's with friends. The 1st impression of Abbey Court that it is a home rather than an Hotel!
