Highly recommend this hotel to anyone. The whole outfit was professionally managed, very clean, excellent choices on the breakfast menu which were delicious. The staff and owner were wonderfully friendly and nothing was too much trouble. Brilliant hotel / B&B, we will most certainly be back with out a doubt. More

Spent one night here in August with our grandchildren. Warm welcome when we arrived and although the room was on the top floor we were delighted with it. large comfy beds, spotless bedlinen and room. Our grandson (aged 2) really enjoyed the shower! Well presented in all areas. Children immediately introduced to the rabbits. Thank you Olga. Breakfast was excellent... More

We stayed here on our wedding night and the following night, in May 2011. When we arrived at the hotel, at the end of our lovely wedding day, we were gravely disappointed when we opened the door to our room. There was absolutely no acknowledgement of our wedding, not even a bottle of wine or a rose or anything. I... More

This is now our third stay at the Avalon and the quality of everything is still as good as the first trip. Its ticks all the boxes for clean, smart, stylish accomodation with charming and helpful staff, this year Olga was so helpful and the owner Paul as always makes you feel completely at home. Our daughter loves the garden... More

The Avalon Beach Hotel made this one of the best family breaks we have enjoyed in recent years, with a great family-friendly atmosphere, great tasting local fare and extremely... More

The breakfast was as nice as any at a B&B. Room really quite small; service staff very friendly and helpful. I liked this hotel just fine, but wonder how it got to be a European Favorite. It is about 150 meters from the beach access and also very convenient to many dinner choices. I think it would be a great... More

We enjoyed our stay. The room was modern, clean & comfortable with a really good shower. Paul was there to greet us in the morning for breakfast and gave us a 1st class service. Breakfast was good followed by a 5 minute stroll to Southbourne beach. We walked into Bournemouth along the beach which took just under an hour..taxi back... More

Patricia and Paul seem to have thought of everything to welcome their guests. Avalon Beach is a little gem in a quiet street a short walk from Dorset's sandy beaches. It's no wonder that guests come back to enjoy the good food, comfortable accommodation and thoughtfulness on offer that makes staying here just that little bit special. We come back... More
