"Lovely peaceful location just around the corner from the beach. Small shop, cafes and bar near by, we’d recommend a visit to the ice cream parlour - lots of flavours with vegan and doggy options. The accommodation was spotlessly clean, comfortable and well equipped. Check-in was seamless and the host responded quickly to all communications. Only downside was no enclosed outside space for our dogs"

"Great flat close to the beach and amenities. We really appreciated the small detailes the host added to our stay like free coffee pods, milk, chocolate and a bottle of prosecco. Kitchen is well equipped and apartment is small but quite comfortable Only one small note, it would have been great to have some blackout blinds in the open kitchen/lounge as the room is quite bright due to street lights and for those sleeping on the sofa bed it might be an issue. Also, we discovered that the free...

Top Hengistbury Head Hotel Reviews

Hampton by Hilton Bournemouth

8/10 Good

"Free breakfast but crockery wasn't clean. Lovely views of the sun over the sea with spacious family rooms,"

The Beach House

8/10 Good

"Stunningly beautiful building. Room was tiny but clean. Shower was hot, some mould in places on walls/ceilings. Abandoned fridge freezer visible right outside the window which wasn't great. Good location and easy walk into Milton to some great restaurants, and to Hurst Castle. Value for money was good only because we'd had a discounted rate through Hotels.com if we'd paid full price then probably wouldn't have been such good value. Breakfast was really poor. Overcooked, dried food, no butter on the table, and majority of items were gone by 9am (breakfast is 8-10) and weren't replenished. Service was OK ( a couple of people were great, a couple not so good!). Felt more like a Wetherspoons which is a real shame as the building itself is lovely and location fabulous."

Bournemouth West Cliff Hotel & Spa

8/10 Good

"Enjoyed my short break here. The bar area is smart and welcoming and the staff friendly. Excellent breakfast provision as well. The actual bedrooms are old-school but decent enough and clean. The pool is fine but check if there's any planned classes with front desk first. In a quiet area but not too far from town/Winter Gardens. Would return for my next Bournemouth break."

The Crown Manor House Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"It’s the second time I’ve stayed at the Crown. Lyndhurst is my home town so staying at this hotel brings back many memories from my childhood. The staff are really attentive. We had a fabulous breakfast. The room was clean and comfortable but looking a little tired but I’m assuming this is because it’s end of season and will have a touch of paint during the winter downtime. I will stay again next time as love the character of the hotel ❤️"

Royal Bath Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing hotel with a fun history. It has seen better days of course, some areas a bit cold or looking old. But it is a very impressive building, and I was delighted with my stay. The garden and the terrace at the back are great and when you go up to the terrace it's a nice view to the sea. It's a good location, and right beside the Russel Coates Museum which is definitely worth a look."
