Known for its sandy beaches and good nightlife, Bournemouth is a popular seaside resort on the Dorset coast between Poole and Christchurch.
The town is centred on the Bourne River, running downhill towards the sea by Bournemouth Pier. This pier looks back towards a promenade lined with beach huts at the foot of grassy cliffs. The promenade continues west to Poole, while a road goes east to neighbouring Boscombe, where anglers often fish from its pier. Overlooking it is a clifftop road housing some Bournemouth hotels with sea views.
Booking.com also offers hotels near the BIC – Bournemouth International Centre in the West Cliff area. This convention centre and music venue is a short walk from the Art Deco Pavilion Theatre, located next to the Lower Gardens. In this popular city park is the Bournemouth Eye, a tethered hot air balloon that offers far-reaching views.
At the park’s top end the river disappears under a large square, then emerges in the Central Gardens. Overlooking these gardens is the Victorian town hall, which used to be one of several spa hotels in Bournemouth. Opposite is a Grade I-listed church, and St Peter’s Church has the grave of Mary Shelley, author of ‘Frankenstein’.
On the outskirts of town, near 4 golf courses and the Castlepoint Shopping Centre, is Bournemouth Airport.

Bournemouth is my favourite place in England to take some rest from London duties. I love absolutely everything in there; sandy beaches, landscapes, hospitality, people, pines, cliffs... the only one problem is to find a parking place during the weekends and summer holidays, but if you look around a bit, it's doable, not really at the beaches but within a mile. Actually, it's good to have a walk, so for me personally it's not an obstacle to come to Bournemouth at any time. I visit some favourite places in that area also in the winter and I always step into the water, no matter what. I would definitely recommend Bournemouth as a lovely place to relax.

Excellent transport system - frequent buses which ran to time. All the main facilities were within easy walking distance. People were welcoming and friendly. Lots of interesting places to visit and things to do. There were several good restaurants, we liked Zizzy’s best, for range and quality of food and service

I love Bournemouth, my grandparents lived in Queens Park and I spent most of my childhood holidays there. The beaches are lovely and clean with safe swimming and our dog was able to run in the permitted areas.
The grandchildren loved the climbing centre on the Pier.

Lovely buzzing seaside town with great amenities and safe beaches. Food very expensive at seaside areas, hard to go economy with kids in tow. Bournemouth pier is always lovely - really good toilet facilities at the beach - would be helpful to have some water taps at beach/beachfront juncture to wash off.

Hotel and staff perfect.could not fault them in any way Especially the reception staff..Big big Thankyou to. Kimberley..Louie and Sasha.For all the lengths they went to.to ensure everything was more than satisfactory for me..
I stay at the Lynden Court Hotel every year, this being my sixth time. The location is great, only a short walk from both the town and the beaches, there's plenty of places to go and explore, in and around Bournemouth with Poole, Dorchester, Weymouth and Christchurch on the door step. There's lovley walks along the prom from Sandbanks right along to Hengistbury.
The rooms are of a good size plenty big enough for two. Tea and coffee is provided. There's a continental breakfast, which is help yourself.
Ged and Jane were very welcoming. They put Easter chocolate eggs on the bed for us, which was a really nice touch.
-The room was exactly like the pictures! It was the cleanest room I've been in a bed& breakfast/hotel in the UK. The room was on the top floor, so it can be quite warm in the from time to time, but there is an air-conditioning unit!
-Breakfast was lovely!
-Locationwise, it's 5min walk from the Bournemouth train station. It takes something like 20-30min to walk to the city centre.
Everything at The Pavilion Arms was a lovely experience. The staff was friendly, welcoming and helpful. The breakfast was tasty and the menu had a lot of great options. The room was stylishly decorated, clean and comfortable with complimentary coffee + milk and drinks which was great. The walk down to the main part of town/beach was around 25 minutes and easy to navigate which made for a great location of the pub. I'd highly recommend The Pavilion Arms when staying in Bournemouth.
I was impressed with everything. Staff were amazing and the breakfast was run very efficiently. The room was clean and comfortable. Location was also perfect. Opposite shopping and cinema and a short walk to the beach and pier. Stayed at few places in Bournemouth as visit my daughter and I would certainly stay here again. Unfortunately all hotels are expensive around the area but this was one of the cheaper options but certainly didn’t feel I was in a cheap hotel.
The room was clean & tidy & well lit with natural light, it had opening windows to allow natural airflow. The accommodation was in a great location close to the main square & the beach.
The owner was very friendly, carried my luggage up the stairs & was very helpful with suggestions on what to do in the area. I would highly recommend the "Newark" when staying in "Bournemouth".
I stayed in room 23 which I loved. It was right next to the reception. I didn't mind the noise coming from people that were checking out. I think I had the best sleep in years! The room temperature was ideal for me! Thank you!!!
If I ever go back to Bournemouth definitely I will book again in this hotel and I will definitely ask for the same room.
The position of this hotel is ideal for Bournemouth Town centre and the beaches. The staff are polite and helpful. The food is good. The rooms are very warm but fans are provided. Everywhere was very clean. The toiletries in the bathroom were nice. There were lots of tea and coffee sachets with nice biscuits and bottles of water.
The view from our room, all along Bournemouth beach, in either direction, was spectacular. Sadly, there wasn't much else to praise. There's even an old swimming pool at the front of the hotel, no longer in use, but still full of dirty water. No excuse, for such a big company as Best Western.
Location of hotel was ok, although Bournemouth as a place was as a massive let down. Whilst the Derby Manor is really nice and well appointed, the city centre area is full of what appears to be homeless and drunken/drugged up immigrants that pester you for money and make you feel uneasy.
Being back at the Royal Bath Hotel since the mid seventies when I was a trainee hotel manager.
To experience of a warm welcome at Reception and I have to say that Andreea, behind the desk was such a warm welcome to Bournemouth, she needs an award in Hospitality.
I loved this beautiful hotel in Bournemouth city centre. My room, bed, facilities, cleanliness, location, and value were all fabulous. I was staying alone and felt as comfortable and safe as if I were in my own home. Will book again when I travel to Bournemouth.
Whilst the hotel is looking a bit tired, all areas are very well cleaned and presented. We have been going to the hotel for a few years and the staff (Annabel, Sue and Graham) are so helpful and friendly. Free parking which is a good thing in Bournemouth.
We loved Beach Lodge. Beautiful Hotel. Great location for beach, shops & eateries.
Amazing room, large, comfy bed. Great bathroom. Fabulous breakfast, great selection 😋
Casper was a very cheerful, friendly & helpful host ❤
Ideal for a weekend break. Metres from the beach and all amenities. Room has all the extras you need/want (fridge,kettle etc.). Will use this hotel if/when I ever return to Bournemouth.
The hotel was clean, tidy and comfortable although a little dated. Staff were great. Hotel is pet friendly and has a great location with easy access to beach and central Bournemouth.
Nice hotel but a bit worn. The room was a great size with a nice, clean bathroom. Breakfast was okay. Location is very convenient for Bournemouth city centre and staff were friendly.
Great little Cody hotel right near to the town center and beach/pier. Man on reception was very friendly and helpful. Will definitely return with my wife when next in Bournemouth.
