Top Southbourne Beach Hotel Reviews

The Bear of Burton

8/10 Good

"very good breakfast - highly recommended"

Laguna Hotel

8/10 Good

"Hotel was bit dated and basic but very clean . No fault of the hotel lot of slamming of doors shouting and kids running along corridors late at night ."

The Kings Arms, WorldHotels Distinctive

10/10 Excellent

"An amazing breakfast in an amazing environment. A lovely, well located hotel."

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."

The Ravensbourne Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Very cozy, well organized, well maintained, clean, unique amenities, pleasant and quiet neighborhood, close to shops in one direction and the beach in the opposite direction. Only 2 available on-site parking spots, but parking on the street looked ok. The owner, Karl, is a gracious and helpful host. This will be my go-to Bournemouth accommodation, as the location is very close to the family I have in the same area. Excellent rating from me on all points."

Commodore Hotel Bournemouth by Greene King Inns

10/10 Excellent

"Nice place and perfect location"

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."

Captains Club Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The whole stay was great staff were excellent very helpful and thoughtful will definitely be coming back and will recommend to friends"

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"
