Top Southbourne Beach Hotel Reviews

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."

Village Hotel Bournemouth

10/10 Excellent

"It's the village and nothing to complain about great stay"

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."

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"
