My partner and I spent a 2 day break at this hotel. Boscombe is not the best area in Bournemouth and first appearances outside the hotel are not great. Several buildings look unused, with a builders skip outside one. However on entering the hotel it is much bigger than expected, with a large dining area, bar and downstairs a large... More

We thought that this was a good deal offered at a good resort; we expected that the hotel would be like many UK seaside hotels suffering a bit from faded grandeur. Not a bit of it, the hotel certainly does not appear particularly exciting from the outside. However inside it is well kept and decorated and all the public areas... More

Staff very concerened, attentive and helpful throughout the stay. The dining room had the most beautiful view of the terraced garden and the sea. Was a pleasure to sit in the garden with a glass or two of wine or a cuppa. Beach just a few minutes walk away and loved the quirkey high street which had lots and lots... More

The Chine pulls off a really tricky balancing act being a hotel that is on the one hand clean, stylish and ordered and on the other hand being somewhere that doesn't just tolerate children and families but actively courts them and accommodates them in more ways than just providing beds and a roof. We're a family of four - two... More

I stayed at the Chine for a weekend me, my husband and two kids. The rooms decor was admittedly a little dated but room was spotless, couldn't fault the cleanliness. After our first night settling in we woke up to go down to the restaurant and enjoy a brilliant full breakfast, which was extremely enjoyable! Me and my husband then... More

Just enjoyed a lovely 2 night break at The Chine and would definitely return. We booked through Secret Escapes website and our 2 night break including breakfast cost £119. As we pulled up, I was disappointed with the initial external view and the fact there was insufficient parking. However, we found a space in the next road and made our... More
