This hotel is in a lovely location; close to the sea front and shops. We had walked with the pushchair to the sea and shops within 15 mins, with breathtaking views to accompany the walk. It has spacious, clean bedrooms and the most amazing breakfast! But it isn't the rooms, food or the location that made our visit so lovely,... More

Clean, comfortable and warm and an excellent breakfast- couldn't have asked for more. The owners were very welcoming; a big plus was the fact that they let us leave our car at the hotel and use the room to shower after the Bournemouth Bay half marathon. Brilliant - thank you!

Thanks for your kind comments. We are pleased you enjoyed your stay. If we can accommodate our guests requests for things like late check out, leaving car for the day, etc we will. Obviously in the height of summer we may have to give a different answer, but generally, if we can help, we will. We continue to make the... More

A cosy B&B near the seafront in Bournemouth. Run by a husband and wife team, they offer a wide range of services above and beyond a traditional B&B. Dinner can be arranged and cooked with advanced bookings. Breakfasts are full traditional with some lovely extras such as kippers. Rooms are warm and equipped to a standard. Short stroll to the...

Just got back from a 3 night winter break at the East Cliff Cottage Hotel. We stayed in a spacious room, with a huge comfy bed. The room was tastefully styled, and had an elegant bay window. The owners are very friendly and our breakfast each morning was excellent, in particular the homemade marmalade was delicious. We have had a... More

We stayed here when we were attending a wedding nearby. I have to say the choice of hotels in this area is bewildering. I specifically wanted a triple room with a decent sized bed for us and a sofa bed our daughter. Having stayed in the holiday inns and premier inns of this world I know that a triple room... More

Thank you for your kind comments. We do try to provide a more personal service than the 'chain hotels' and this is helped by the more than generous size of our Superior Rooms. Our beds (along with our breakfasts) are praised by many guests and we hope this continues into the future. More

My husband and I stayed here for a night while visiting our son, who attends Bournemouth University. The host, Andrew, and his wife were most welcoming and nothing was too much trouble.

My wife and I stayed here for one night when the hotel was offering a valentine package - the room was very comfortable and food was good.
