The Crown Manor House Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Our second stay at this hotel. Very clean room. Excellent bathroom with top quality shower. Very good breakfast. Friendly staff. Plenty of free parking. All very good. Only minor quibble is that the Restaurant is a tad expensive if you choose to dine in. Large lounge and 'library' area. No air con in the room, but unnecessary at this time of year - maybe a problem in the summer."

Village Hotel Bournemouth

8/10 Good

"Very welcoming and efficient staff at reception, self check in also available. We stayed in a family double room with 2 large, comfortable beds. Tea and coffee available, but no biscuits though, and 2 glasses in the room but no water which was a little strange. Good size desk for working on, if travelling on business, with plenty of sockets including USB points as well as more socket/USB by the bed, which is always handy. wifi had a very good signal and easy to connect to. Iron, ironing board and hair dryer also in the room. Shower was good with both hand held and large rain type shower available. There was also ample space in the shower room however, it would have been better if there was somewhere to hang the towels as no towel rail. Water was hot and bottles of soap/shampoo were available. An average size Buffet Breakfast was on offer with a basic selection of items but as seems to be normal these days, the temperature was warm rather than hot for the food on the first day, on the second day though, it was much hotter. Food in the evening was of a very high standard and well presented, however on the Sunday night there was a new chef and the food did take over 90mins to arrive. Very clean room, as well as communal areas, large TV with good selection of channels. Lots of parking available at £5 per night, but even though EV charging is stated as available, it was only for 1 type of connection (CCS), unfortunately no type 2. Gym and Spa also available at £5 per day"

Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Southbourne?

The best area to stay in Southbourne is near Southbourne Grove, as it offers the most convenient access to local amenities and the beach.

Southbourne Grove is the main high street, running from the crossroads with Belle Vue Road down towards the cliff top. It's a bustling area with a good selection of independent shops, cafes, and restaurants. You'll find everything from traditional bakeries and butchers to modern eateries, creating a pleasant environment for a relaxing stay. The street is well-connected by local buses, making it easy to explore further afield.

For couples looking for a relaxed coastal getaway, staying close to the junction of Southbourne Grove and Belle Vue Road is ideal. This puts you within easy walking distance of the Grove's shops and dining options, while also being a short stroll from the cliff path leading down to the beach. You can enjoy leisurely mornings with fresh pastries and coffee, followed by walks along the promenade.

Families will find the area closer to the cliff top, near the end of Southbourne Grove, particularly convenient. This location provides direct access to the beach and cliff gardens, great for children to play and explore. There are often ice cream kiosks and beachside cafes nearby, making beach days straightforward and enjoyable.

When is the best time to go to Southbourne?

The best time to visit Southbourne is during the late spring and summer months, particularly from May to September, when the weather is at its finest.

During these months, you'll experience warmer temperatures and longer daylight hours, great for enjoying Southbourne's award-winning sandy beaches and the Southbourne Overcliff Drive. This period is ideal for those looking to make the most of outdoor activities, from relaxing on the beach to exploring the coastal paths.

Families often find the summer holidays, July and August, particularly appealing. The sea is warmer for swimming, and there are often more family-friendly events and activities happening locally. The pleasant weather also makes it a great time to visit nearby attractions like Hengistbury Head Nature Reserve, which offers stunning views and walking trails.

For those who prefer a slightly quieter experience with pleasant weather, late spring (May and June) or early autumn (September) are excellent choices.
