Thanks to Paul, Patricia and their excellent team, my husband and I have just returned from a wonderful weekend spent in the warm and friendly atmosphere of the Avalon Beach Hotel, situated a short walk away from the seafront. The decor is interesting and aesthetically pleasing - and the 'Nantucket' New England window shutters, which are wonderfully functional, are an... more

Good location - away from the crowds of Bournemouth but within a couple of hundred metres of the sea. Excellent service - owner Paul and his team very easy to get on with and answered all our needs. Lovely food - the evening meals were of a good quality and worth the slightly premium price. Would probably work out a... more

We stayed in the 2 bed apartment for one Saturday night in September with our 2 teenage daughters. Everything is fresh and tastefully done - the customer service excellent, and the breakfast - delicious!

We stayed in the owner's apartment ("Excalibur") over the August bank holiday weekend and had a great time. The owners and all the staff were friendly, welcoming and made us feel as though we were friends rather than 'customers' from the moment we arrived and were met by Claire, the deputy manager. As a young family (myself, husband and two... more

The best feature is the very large garden with wooden Summer house packed with toys for the kids and two rabbits. 5 mins and you are at Southbourne beach which is more chilled than Bournemouth - there's a play park and a... more
