I stayed here over Christmas and was very impressed with the size, space and decor of the room, and the old fireplaces in the restaurant and lounge area. Very close to the beach and delicious food. Will definitely return in the future! More

Thanks for the generous comments. We are currently undertaking a few upgrades to the roooms, so hopefully you will be more impressed on a future visit. Also, following Santa's kind contribution of the 2 Masterchef cookbooks, we hope to continue the tradition of excellent food. More

Really enjoyed our stay in this quiet, relaxing and very pleasant hotel. Very welcoming and attentive hosts. Extremely clean, quite roomy except for the en-suite (a little tight). Food is excellent,good value for money and a nice menu. The present owners have only taken over this hotel recently and obviously there is some updating and decorating needs doing which I'm... More

Thanks for those kind comments. We try our best to be welcoming and attentive as that is one of the few advantages we can have over the larger hotels which we are situated next to. I agree with your comment re. the en-suite, out of our 6 rooms the one you were in was the smallest. The bathrooms in our... More

Stayed 17-21 Aug. Very enjoyable stay,great food,place was full of history.Whilst enjoying very good meals,my eye`s were drawn to the excellent coving and panelling and fireplaces. Please do not change the wonderful character of this house/hotel.To the new owners, best of luck with updating of facilities,but keep the history.Thanks again, PeteAllen More

Thanks for all the compliments. This is the first review posted since we (the new owners) have taken over the Hotel. It is pleasing to know that we are doing things the right way. And, rest assured, I shall endeavour to ensure the character of the building is retained whenever we do anything within the Hotel. For anyone worried that,... More

We had stayed at the East Cliff Cottage a couple of years ago and booked to stay again a few months ago. Initally, I was quite dissapointed on arrival to be told the hotel had been taken over by new management and we had not been contacted about this. The new owners were very welcoming as they had not run... More

An honest review and one we entirely agree with. There are already new pillows and new duvets in some of the rooms. Rest assured there will be new throughout the Hotel before long. I completely agree with the TLC required, but as we moved in at the end of July, August isn't the time to be giving it. Over the... More

My fiancée & I stayed at East Cliff cottage hotel in June 2011 to celebrate our engagement. On planning our engagement, prior to proposing on the beach earlier on in the day, I had arranged with Chris & Alan to purchase a bottle of champagne to serve with dinner. On arrival they kept the whole event secret from my fiancée... More

We stayed at the East Cliff Cottage hotel when going to a family wedding nearby. The location was great - quiet street but very close to the beach. We had a big family room at the back which was very quiet & had a ginormous bath which I'm sure we could all fit in! The bed was also huge, and... More

We spent three delightful days at this hotel, it was our first visit and we will certainly consider staying here on future visits to Bournemouth. We choose it having read previous reviews and were not disappointed. The weather was disappointing during our stay, there is lots to do in Bournemouth, so staying in is no excuse, excellent shopping, sightseeing and... More

We went to this small hotel for an evening meal during our stay at Bournemouth, we can only say that the food was lovely, the service excellent, the staff friendly and the tables were spotlessly clean. Over and above expectations for the price we paid was a large cafetiere of coffee at the end of the meal as opposed to... More

We visited the East Cliff Cottage Hotel in April 2011 after reading the glowing reviews on Tripadvisor. The staff were very friendly and courteous the whole time and the location was absolutely perfect.
