Come and be cozy with us here this winter. The south coast has milder weather than a lot of the UK and those cold but sunny days are great for walking the dog in some of the most beautiful countryside, along the sea front, beside the river or even in the New Forest. Snuggle up warm and toasty and join us as friends for dinner - then watch a good movie or talk until late and be 'one of the family.' Age, size, looks, unimportant. Retired and want some company for the winter - Don't want to stay in a normal hotel and sit alone for meals and feel isolated - yet value your own space occasionally - Want to have a laugh and feel alive within a home full of life, fun, laughter, a bit of madness and a lot of caring ? Then Hamilton Hall is perfect for anyone wanting to stay for a longer period.

Privacy respected and valued.

We strongly suggest

The Borough of Bournemouth is the largest vacation resort in the UK and Hamilton Hall is the only men only retreat style hotel in Europe

We do not service the rooms after you arrive and do not change the bedding or towels daily. If you are staying for more than 7 days, we then change your bedding although fresh towels are available throughout. . Most of our laundry is washed on 40° and we do not tumble dry our laundry - our boiler room is also our drying room. Our towels might not be as fluffy and soft - - - and if you don't like it, - - - then tough.

We ask you to please switch lights off in your rooms when you leave and do not waste power.

If making tea and coffee, heat enough water for the amount of cups required and do not boil a full kettle for one cup. Close the fridge door and do not leave it open while you make your tea.

Close outer doors and windows in the winter and do not waste our heating. We may be a 'clothes optional venue' but if you are chilled, then put a sweater on.

These things help us with our excessive bills and the huge increases in electricity and gas - it helps cut down our Carbon Footprint and this helps Mother Earth. If you are irresponsible in your manner and show a 'don't care attitude' towards the environment, then you may be spoken to and brought into awareness of your ignorant manner and if you offer an uncaring attitude, you may be asked to leave.

Mother Earth is suffering because of humanity - YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE. We must all do out bit to help, and THAT MEANS YOU.

If you can help bring us into awareness of something we can do to help further, please speak to John

I know this sounds bossy and disrespectful, but it seems many are STILL uncaring about global warming and we cannot afford financially or morally to blindly ignore those who seem to deliberately ignore what is going on globally and with a £2,400 gas bill recently, we HAVE to watch what we do.

WORKSHOP ARRIVAL TIME
Between 4 - 6.30pm

Please keep us informed as to your approx. arrival time. We serve dinner at 7pm prompt and the kitchen closes at 7.30pm. Dinner can be held for you but only if advised and no later than 7.30pm. We have a great deal of work to do for these workshop weekends and your appreciation of this, and a prompt arrival, is appreciated.

If this is your only method of payment, please speak to John as we need a minimum of 2 weeks to clear the funds and the full amount paid in advance for any stay here, plus we add £10 to the cost to cover our excessive banking charges and because we have to go to the bank - especially - to bank it. Please include all your personal details with a cheque - name - address - date of event / B&B period - phone number (land line included ). We do not allow anonymous people into the building to stay who do not share some of their personal details with us. This is for your protection from the media or those who would spy on us. This is for everyone's safety.

We respect your need also for privacy and we do not sell or give away any of your details to anyone.

Prices are correct as of 14/08/08. All special offers are discretionary. Give me 'attitude' and you'll pay the full price.

We believe so strongly in our venue that if you can find another gay men's hotel that has bedrooms as spacious and luxurious as ours, with better indoor space to chill and relax in, and offers a better value for money and is comparatively priced to us, including all the little extras we provide so freely, here in the UK, within 60 days of staying with us, then we will refund your stay at Hamilton Hall TWICE OVER as we are THAT confident in our venue with its unique and friendly atmosphere, that we are confident enough to make this offer.

Offering a metaphysical, alternative, spiritual, holistic, complimentary and open minded approach to life, love and the universe, you are welcome to bring whatever helps you to relax and chill out - your worry beads, your herbal remedies, your knitting, bunny slippers or even just a good book. We offer an open and honest heart and welcome you. Hamilton Hall is a NOT FOR PROFIT venue and John Bellamy, your host, does not take a wage while working between 12 and 18 hours a day.

Hamilton Hall was always No Smoking within the building although we did have a smoking room which was often the busiest and most social part of the whole venue. People would gather and chat and share and often - regardless of the smoke , enjoy an evening together - smokers and non smokers together. Since the law change this has stopped and we really have lost a special part of Hamilton Hall that people simply do not gather in any longer - as now the smokers are restricted to the garden which in the winter months is not much fun. As usual, the heavy handed attitude of government takes away some peoples civil rights while claiming to be protecting others - - others who have a choice.

Oh - and I just needed an excuse to put this fab looking sexy guy on the web page as - phwoar - aint he cute... and you can even forgive him the fag in his mouth...

( FAG - short for faggot - meaning - anything that is bound together - as in the tobacco is bound within the paper holding it together - The meat dish faggots are bound together with egg and that holds the ingredients together. Gay men were bound together and put with the bound kindling wood and burned alive by the church as they feared our intuitive gifts and we then called faggots.

...............

For those people who think we should charge less in the winter months, you have a choice;- You can either have the heating on - or off - the choice is yours. Some may consider the winter to be the 'off season' and that we should be grateful of any business we can get - ( they obviously have not checked out our Diary of Events for the winter and seen that this is actually our busiest time of the year ) and the winter is the most expensive time of the year to heat the building and accept guests, so our prices remain the same all year long for B&B. This is Bournemouth, with some of the most expensive properties in the world. If all you want is cheap, then go elsewhere.

John Bellamy - your host - with no air brushing --- honest.

WEATHER FORECAST

The weather forecast is usually often WRONG for the south coast and the Bournemouth Tourist Board has complained for the last 2 years that too many 'cloudy, wet and overcast' weekend forecasts have stopped tourists coming to the town and the weather has been absolutely glorious sunshine. Too many weekends the forecasts have been completely incorrect and many small businesses like Hamilton Hall suffer because the tourists stay at home. DO NOT TRUST THE FORECASTS - Bournemouth has a micro climate that seems to defy the weather people and even the local news gets it wrong 70% of the time.

As hard as I try and after hundreds of hours working constantly on this web site to make it better and easier and so forth, I find mistakes, and it is called 'being human.' We all make them and no one is more irritated than I am at the mistakes I make. I sooooo want things to be correct and perfect, but as we live in an imperfect world, I have grown to accept that at times, things will go wrong. So - If you find we have made a mistake with your reservation or anything else, please inform us politely and we shall rectify where we can.

If you phone and I am a little short, apologies, maybe it has been a long and tiring day and as I work between 12 and 18 hours a day - 7 days a week, I do get tired and sometimes, like everyone else, a little irritable. With hundreds of e mails every day, and scores of phone calls and more than enough tossers messing me around, running any small business these days is extremely hard. The government does all it can to penalize us with red tape, crippling hidden costs and many aspects you cannot even imagine.
