Top Southbourne Beach Hotel Reviews

The Kings Arms, WorldHotels Distinctive

10/10 Excellent

"Historical hotel in the center of a quaint town , very walkable , nice gardens The hotel’ s restaurant is very good with ample portions and hotel ‘ s guests get 30% off"

Laguna Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely helpful staff at Laguna"

Boscombe Spa Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"My stay at this hotel was only brief, having arrived on Friday evening with a very early departure, to Bournemouth airport, the following morning. I was warmly greeted and assisted with my suitcase up to the top floor single room. The room was very comfortable with a compact ensuite shower room. The tea and coffee facility provided in the room was much appreciated after a long and tiring journey. I cannot comment on the breakfast as I stayed on a room only basis and left in the early hours. My only minor criticism was that the bath towel was a bit small - the dimensions more like an average hand towel however, that being said, I would certainly not hesitate to stay here again if the need arose."

Captains Club Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely room and view, enjoyed the spa treatment and the food was nice. Enjoyed our stay very much as it was our wedding night"

The Bear of Burton

8/10 Good

"Our stay was for 3 nights in a comfy double room. This type of room was up 3 flight of stays (No Lift) so not suitable if stairs an issue with cases. Room was clean and bathroom was modern with a powerful shower. Found bed not that comfy, but would stay again and try a different room. Full Breakfast was lovely and can be altered to suit. Evening menu could have more choice and not very generous for the price. Menu would be better if changes can be made and not so much fish on menu. All staff were fantastic and friendly and could not do enough for you. The hotel is a great location to visit nearby Mudeford, Poole and Bournemouth."

Denewood Hotel - Guest Accomodation

8/10 Good

"Very friendly management. We had a large spacious room with a king size bed. The door to our room was tricky to unlock and it would have been nice to have a shelf in the shower for the soap. Great location by the beach with very good places to eat nearby."

Cedar House Boutique B&B

8/10 Good

"The staff were very polite and attentive, and approachable. Unfortunately the grounds resembled a scrap yard, and the jacuzzi is in desperate need of a new cover. Suite 1 was our 4 night abode, very stylish inside but again let down by a very rusty and dodgy sun awning. With a refresh to the grounds, and tidy up of the garages this would be a wonderful place to stay."

Grosvenor Lodge Guest House

10/10 Excellent

"Great place to rest after evening flight into bournemouth about 10 mins from airport by taxi and free brekkie"

The Spyglass and Kettle By Greene King Inns

8/10 Good

"The location was ideal for the beach and the local shops, restaurants etc.. Ideal for couples but I’m not sure for families. (Famiy4) Holly was great and helpful. She was very good what she was doing."
