I used to own and manage this hotel. Things have changed with new owners.
Please be kind....it's a little different now. It looks fabulous. It is now very modern and I went for period 1911/1912. Each to their own style.
I offered breakfasts, but that is no longer the case, on the premises. But that os totally fine. there are plenty of places around to have breakfasts.


New Owners.

Good bits - beautiful arts and crafts building in a quiet predominantly residential street. Rooms spotlessly clean and nicely furnished. 

Not so good - this is no longer the b&b as seen on the website prior to booking or detailed in the literature to be found in the room. It has no reception, Lounge or garden access. It has been sold to a company that do air bnb and so all rooms (they call them apartments but they are not) are self catered. No on-site support, rooms are not serviced during your stay. There are 13 rooms and only 5 parking spaces. Room 13 which we were given was a very small attic room. The bathroom was equally small and the shower so tiny that my husband could not fit in it or stand upright due to the low bulkhead (he it's not a big man). It is no longer an adults only establishment and we were kept awake on the first night by a little toddler crying until the early hours of the morning.
The hotel across the road is not linked to the Cransley despite what the literature leads you to believe and you cannot use its facilities although they will let you purchase breakfast from them. 

Good if you want to do your own thing but if you want a little personal attention then this is not the place to go.

Misleading

King Studio Room:
Absolutely perfect! Very clean and decor was modern and overall the room was great.
En-suite was a really good size. Room was spacious and the kitchenette was fully equipped with everything we might need.
The room was so lovely we extended our stay by an extra night!

Note: The photos on TripAdvisor don’t do the hotel justice in my opinion.

Excellent

A truly lovely Aparthotel in a quiet location and with parking at the front. 
Exceptionally easy to check in and all doors with electronic keypads.
Beautifully refurbished throughout to a high standard and spotlessly clean. 
There is a lovely tranquil garden to the rear with plenty of seating and tables.
The kitchen had all that was needed and the bed and sofa bed were very comfortable. A perfect location for a relaxing mini break. Would highly recommend and will definitely be staying again.

Lovely relaxing stay

Lovely quiet Aparthotel, room very clean. Situated 20 mins walk from Bournemouth Pier and town.
Most rooms refurbished with  a kitchenette.
No reception, check-in details sent to you 24 hrs before arrival with key code.
Free parking available also off street parking.

Lovely accommodation

Very nice hotel. Easy checkin with electronic codes for the doors. Nice sized rooms with comfortable beds and good shower. There is tea and coffee in the room. Walking distance to the beach. Coop shop just round the corner and full English breakfast over the road. Free high speed broadband and washing and drying machines.

Great place to stay in Bournmouth

Stayed for 3 nights in September in room 5 at Cransley. Very good location a short walk to the seafront and close to several restaurants. Well equipped room overlooking the lovely garden with comfortable bed and well stocked tea tray and nice toiletries in the bathroom.Really excellent cooked breakfast at £7.50 if you wanted it (order the day before) or a lighter option at £5 if preferred. Only small drawback is breakfast is served 9 to 10am which is a bit late if you have plans for the day. The hotel has a small car park (room for around 6 cars) plus there is on street parking on Knyveton Road. Jonathan and Simon are wonderful hosts and the dogs George and Hector are lovely too. Definitely recommended.

Great location, lovely hosts

Just returned from a week staying at the Cransley a lovely welcome and the house is beautiful with lots if lovely treasures, our room was at the back overlooking the lovely garden, the beds were very comfortable we slept really well, we enjoyed breakfast each day always offered extra tea, coffee and toast  it was Ideally placed  nice walk to the front and beach although a uphill walk on the way back and a 10 mins walk into Bournemouth or Boscombe if we are thus way again would definitely stay or recommend.

A Gem

We booked this bed and breakfast through bookings.com. I added a note to say one person was vegan. I then received this message from the owner....

OK. Vegan, if you want the optional breakfast which is charged extra, not included.....then I offer fruit, nut or soya milk (whatever I have in) I have dairy free flora and tomatoes, Baked Beans, mushrooms.
Veganism is a life choice and we are reeling from this epidemic. We are so overdrawn in July, which has never been heard of in the last 23 years of being in this business.
I just want you to know that I will not buy Vegan in for one person, so if you choose to have breakfast, you can only have what I have available on my menu. Vegetarian, no problem. Vegan, problem. Sorry. I am poor atm.

What a bizarre and rude way to speak to a potential customer. We cancelled our booking.

Very rude owner

We are currently staying at the Cransley and enjoying every moment! Beautifully decorated building, with lots of space and full of personal touches. Jonathan and Simon are very welcoming and couldn’t do enough for you, also their two pooches are a lovely touch, as a dog lover I love that they are around the hotel to pet. Our room is very clean, the bedding is extremely soft and exceptionally clean which is so important. Full hospitality tray with fresh drinking water in the room which is a nice touch as well as cotton buds/pads and even a makeup remover flannel. Breakfast was delicious, there are two options; a continental and a full English with vegetarian options available for either £5 or £7.50. Lots of choice of fruits, yoghurts, cereals and pastries and endless toast, tea and coffee. I would definitely recommend this very relaxing, lovely small, quiet hotel which is only a mile or so walk into the centre😊
