Known for its sandy beaches and good nightlife, Bournemouth is a popular seaside resort on the Dorset coast between Poole and Christchurch.
The town is centred on the Bourne River, running downhill towards the sea by Bournemouth Pier. This pier looks back towards a promenade lined with beach huts at the foot of grassy cliffs. The promenade continues west to Poole, while a road goes east to neighbouring Boscombe, where anglers often fish from its pier. Overlooking it is a clifftop road housing some Bournemouth hotels with sea views.
Booking.com also offers hotels near the BIC – Bournemouth International Centre in the West Cliff area. This convention centre and music venue is a short walk from the Art Deco Pavilion Theatre, located next to the Lower Gardens. In this popular city park is the Bournemouth Eye, a tethered hot air balloon that offers far-reaching views.
At the park’s top end the river disappears under a large square, then emerges in the Central Gardens. Overlooking these gardens is the Victorian town hall, which used to be one of several spa hotels in Bournemouth. Opposite is a Grade I-listed church, and St Peter’s Church has the grave of Mary Shelley, author of ‘Frankenstein’.
On the outskirts of town, near 4 golf courses and the Castlepoint Shopping Centre, is Bournemouth Airport.
Great beaches for kids, has a little fun fair on the pier.

Me and my fiance went with friends for our sten Do (stag&hen). It was pleasant weather, relatively affordable, good food & entertaining mini golf. We also went to the mini market Sunday morning which we all enjoyed. Would definitely recommend as it was not too busy.

Bournemouth is a very nice town with beautiful sandy beaches. There is plenty of choices for lunch and dinner.
It is a bit out-of-date and looks like its glory days are gone though, as there were many closed shops at the city centre and the feeling was it looked a bit sad and abandoned.

The problem with Bournemouth is it is rather run down there are a lot of homeless people sleeping in doorways i think there were rumours of rats in the park but the bus system is brilliant we did go to swanage and Poole shopping overall I would go to Bournemouth again but would not walk about in the dark
We had a great stay at The Hedley Townhouse. The hotel is spotless, nicely decorated and the rooms are nice and comfortable. The owners are super friendly and caring for their guests. They put breakfast items in the tea room in the morning, which was very nice before starting the day exploring the area. The location is perfect, just a few steps from the beach in a quiet area with dining options around. It was a great experience all around and we would stay there again if coming back to Bournemouth!
Ged and Jane were very welcoming. They put Easter chocolate eggs on the bed for us, which was a really nice touch.
-The room was exactly like the pictures! It was the cleanest room I've been in a bed& breakfast/hotel in the UK. The room was on the top floor, so it can be quite warm in the from time to time, but there is an air-conditioning unit!
-Breakfast was lovely!
-Locationwise, it's 5min walk from the Bournemouth train station. It takes something like 20-30min to walk to the city centre.
The room was clean and the beds very comfortable. The location was perfect. It was a small walk to the pier and the beautiful beach. Restaurants were also a walk, but we used taxis. The pool was AMAZING! It was heated and clean. It was open until 8pm. We had lunch on the pool veranda and it was a bit pricey but very nice. The Bournemouth air show was on so we watched that from our sunbeds! The hotel had a nice warm friendly feeling. We really enjoyed our stay!
Sue, the proprietor was very welcoming and nothing was too much trouble. I needed Oat Milk and it was supplied.
The breakfast was the best we have ever had. The choice was Continental, Full English or both, top quality.
Our room was spacious, comfortable and clean, with ensuite facilities.
There was off road parking available.
The hotel is just a 5 min walk from the beach and town, also just 45 min walk along seafront to Bournemouth.
We will definitely be coming back...
We spent 3 nights at this hotel with family and celebrated a 40th Birthday. We couldn't fault the hotel or the staff who were very helpful. The buffet style breakfasts were excellent with plenty of choice and all items seemed to be replenished regularly.
The hotel is ideally located for the beaches, the town centre and the cliff walks.
I am sure we will return to Bournemouth in the near future and we would certainly recommend staying at the Durley Dean Hotel
Everything was nice n clean. Bus stop just outside the building. Co op down the flat. Great location. Close from the town, station n beach too.. There is no staff as its not a Hotel. It's just a family run business. Apartment is nice n spacious. There's only 1 double size bed in the bedroom. And the other is sofa cum bed..thats a king size.. in the living room. The apartment has washing machine n a drier too.. thats a plus point I could say.
I have stayed here numerous times and must say I don’t stay anywhere else when I come to Bournemouth!
It’s within walking distance to the beach, the hotel restaurant is amazing! The chefs need a prize, not to mention- the bar tender makes the best mocktails!
The reception staff are so friendly and the gym and spa facilities are great.
A great location to unwind and enjoy, I truly love this hotel and will be sure to be back!
For the money this was the best value and most comfortable hotel with an excellent location that I have ever stayed in! At £31 for the night I had a double room (very small but completely adequate) with Tv, coffee/tea making, table and chair plus an ensuite bathroom. The radiators were hot, the water was hot, and it was clean. 5 minute walk into the center of Bournemouth. Fantastic value for money.
Hotel is very nicely situated across the street from a great beach with much activity, and close to the city and many shops, restaurants and pubs. Just a short taxi from the train station. The full breakfast includes a variety of menu choices that are nicely prepared, and the staff is very friendly and accommodating. Our room was very spacious with sitting area, and comfortable.
Had a great stay at urban beach great location the room was outstanding bed was so comfortable I've stayed in Bournemouth lots of times in different hotel and this was the best hotel room for the price and just a 10 minute walk to the beach and a 10 minute walk to the town couldn't ask for know more will definitely be coming back to urban beach.
The Hotel is situated right in the middle of Bournemouth, great for the shops, beach, park and buses. The Staff were superb, very friendly and couldn't be more helpful. The rooms while a little tired (refurbishment is happening early next year) are comfortable and spacious. We intend to be back next year for sure.
good location, they have a nice lounge with entertainment, its proper value for money, especially when you only need the room to sleep in. its the first time ive seen a clean kettle in a hotel. the bathroom floor could be improved but its overall a great stay
Whilst the hotel is looking a bit tired, all areas are very well cleaned and presented. We have been going to the hotel for a few years and the staff (Annabel, Sue and Graham) are so helpful and friendly. Free parking which is a good thing in Bournemouth.
Applewood Hotel is close to Bournemouth town centre (10 minutes walk). The single room was small but had everything I needed including a little desk. Ensuite was compact but vlean and functional. Check in staff were efficient rather than friendly.
The hotel had friendly, very helpful staff… the location was absolutely perfect for going into Bournemouth or walking the beach to sandbanks. It was clean and had everything you needed… I can’t believe how good it was for the price!!
Balcony rooms on top floor have an amazing view, and we had the best seats in the house for the Friday night fireworks. Stunning! There are a few electric vehicle charging spots in the hotel’s parking.
