Top Southbourne Beach Hotel Reviews

The Spyglass and Kettle By Greene King Inns

8/10 Good

"We enjoyed the atmosphere of the Spyglass and Kettle. However, there were a few issues with our room (No.2, on the 2nd floor) Ceilings in the bedroom and shower room we're into the eaves and somewhat restrictive to stand up straight. The sink in the shower room"

Laguna Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The service was so amazing,"

Village Hotel Bournemouth

8/10 Good

"What you’d expect from a Village hotel. Clean, convenient and busy. Food offerings were basic and fairly pricey, bar was busy and with plenty of sports shown on the array of TVs. Hotel is conveniently located between Bournemouth and Christchurch and has good capacity. Regrettably they have no secure bike storage and don’t permit them to be taken to rooms."

Grosvenor Lodge Guest House

10/10 Excellent

"Great service given an upgrade which was amazing. Will definitely stay again."

The Bear of Burton

10/10 Excellent

"Not complaining but the mirrors in the bathroom in front of the sinks I think were placed for people under 5ft. I’m 5ft 6 and could not even see my neck. My wife (5ft) thought they were perfect! appreciate we were on top floor and space limit. But otherwise perfect."

Boscombe Spa Hotel

8/10 Good

"Just stopped one night, clean room, friendly staff."

Cedar House Boutique B&B

10/10 Excellent

"A warm welcome on arrival. Our accommodation was surprisingly larger than I thought with a 6 ft bed, ensuite and sitting room. Patio doors to a private patio area with table and chairs. Very peaceful and relaxing. Large grounds with swimming pool and jacuzzi. Parking. A good breakfast laid up in an elegant dining room. Staff were very friendly and helpful."

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."
