Village Hotel Bournemouth

"I booked this last minute as the original hotel i booked wasn’t good. Rooms clean, beds comfortable and i liked the fact they have an onsite bar and restaurant, i was travelling on my own so this was ideal."

Bournemouth West Cliff Hotel & Spa

8/10 Good

"Staff are all brilliant only down side no disabled access to spa and pool"

New Place

10/10 Excellent

"Very friendly staff, toilets and the room was very clean and had no problems at all"

Sandbanks Hotel

8/10 Good

"Our room was in the newer part of the hotel, with a good size room and balcony overlooking the beach. A big bed, very firm and clean. Bathroom was a little dated and well worn, but clean. You can’t beat the location of this hotel, literally a couple of steps down from the terrace and you are on soft sandy beach with amazing views. We also used the pool, it’s small and again dated, but clean and has a lifeguard on duty during opening hours. Breakfast is a generous selection from buffet full English to continental pastries, fruit, yoghurt and the conveyor toasters! Sure to delight the kids. We also had their “pizza on the beach” cooked outside on the terrace until 5pm. There’s not a huge selection of places to eat within walking distance, so the catering here is popular and not horrendously priced. Absolutely recommend for a couple of days at the beach for families."
