Wow, we absolutely love the Ivy in the Lanes, wasn’t sure if the Bournemouth Ivy would be the same, it was. The staff were wonderful, very attentive and polite, couldn’t fault anything. Absolutely fantastic evening, thank you all. We will definitely be booking again on our next visit to Bournemouth.

A small boutique hotel and restaurant; we attended for the Valentine's Day Dinner and it was simply exceptional; the food was amazing, tasteful and beautifully presented; the atmosphere perfect and the service, brilliant. Had never been to this place before and did not know what to expect; it far exceeded my expectations and I will be back - highly recommend.
