Top Southbourne Beach Hotel Reviews

Captains Club Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Our room was setup nicely. The staff was very helpful especially the bar staff Tom O went above and beyond. The spa was amazing and Sam was very professional and great with her skillful massage techniques. Loved the location, the river view and the hotel."

Denewood Hotel - Guest Accomodation

10/10 Excellent

"Really lovely welcome from Allan. Very helpful and accommodating. Location was excellent only stopped one night but would go back and stop for longer if we’re down that way for a break."

Harbour Hotel Christchurch

8/10 Good

"Excellent hotel, lovely staff. Would recommend eating in the restaurants. Continental breakfast included, good varied choice. Beautiful view from restaurant. Just need to update the lighting and switches in the bedrooms as quite dark and switches were old momentary type."

Laguna Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The friendliness of the staff was very welcoming."

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"

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."

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."

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"
