I had one night in Bournemouth and walked all over looking for an authentic pub. I went to several…read morebars but none had the feel of the Goat and Tricycle. Had the Fish n Chips which was outstanding! Real cask ale beers are great too. I definitely recommend this pub if you're looking for some great English atmosphere.

Whilst bournemouth has more places to have a drink than you can shake a stick at the majority of…read morethem are bars rather than pubs. The Goat & Tricycle however ticks just about every box associated with the world of 'Pub'. First of all the range and quality of the beer & cider sold in this place would keep Withnail and his nameless chum blissfully occupied for weeks and they always have decent guest ales up for grabs. The food is also very 'Pub' esque with the G&T burger proving more a worthy adversary for many a well fed gent. There are also an array of activities for patrons to partake in from a pool table to quiz & fruit machines, my particular favourite however is the giant connect 4 set (warningcan get very competitive after a few ales). All in all a great place and a must visit for pub lovers.

Never miss the chance to visit here whenever we are out in Westbourne.

Carvery on a Sunday is excellent; shame they're not at all vegetarian-friendly as absolutely…read moreeverything seemed to have meat in! As a carnivore I loved the choice of meats, sides and sauces for an affordable, enjoyable full Sunday roast we didn't have to cook at home. However I wouldn't be able to bring my vegetarian family members and boyfriend here again as there was nothing except dry vegetables for them to eat - upon asking if a certain item contained meat we were informed 'probably not', not exactly reassuring! I know traditional carvery restaurants are supposed to be all about the meat but many do provide vegetarian options so families can enjoy a meal together, something that would be ideal here. Be sure to book in advance on Sundays or bank holidays as it can get very busy.

Prior to arrival I spoke to Angela who was very helpful and had no issues with my partner and I checking in early before attending a wedding which was a great help. The staff and owners were friendly and polite on arrival. I checked in quickly and ascended the stairs (no lift so not suitable for people who require disabled access) to my room. We had room 3 which was the four poster suite, it was very spacious with a good size en-suite bathroom. Despite the dated decor the room was bright (lots of big windows) and airy and as well as the four poster bed had a living room area with a sofa, table, arm chair, side table with tea/coffee and biscuits, tv and magazines. The room also contained a dressing table/draw and chair, wardrobe, two dressing gowns, a second arm chair and bedside tables. The bathroom was spacious and had white fluffy bath sheets and hand towels and consisted of a fill size bath would shower overhead. Sadly the water temperature was a little temperamental and the shower had no pump so the pressure was weak but was adequate for a quick wash. The room was spotless and the only parts of the room which need attention due to feathers, dust and cobwebs is under/behind the bed and the top frame of the bed but other than that the room was spotless. We needed an iron the morning of departure which was quickly delivered to our room however no ironing board was available so we had to use the table which wasn't a problem for us. The hotel does not offer breakfast but there is a pub restaurant which offers lunch and dinner. There's a small car park right outside and a little seating area/front garden where you can enjoy the sunshine. Overall we enjoyed our stay and would stay again.
