Excellently patrolled beach front right from Bournemouth pier through to Boscombe Pier and beyond. Great idea to have the free to use electric BBQ areas on the beach front area. Cleaned every morning. Cliffside chain Railway excellent. Well done!

Just out of consideration of the less able, it's probably worth mentioning that this area in general is quite hilly and as a result may prove difficult for some. In the summer it does get busy, but the beach is like being abroad. Great trip.

Lots of nice gardens etc but also lots of empty shops giving a slightly run down appearance to some areas. No litter to speak of and nice along the beach. Plenty of choice for eating/drinking. Would love to see more investment in Bournemouth

Beach was pretty clean and not too busy. Nice green areas in town, and the bus service was reliable for day trips. The beach-side shops and eateries are extortionate, though. Pack a picnic for the beach and go into the centre for dinner.

I recommend bringing a load of comfy shoes as it's mainly got hills and bring extra money as can be expensive also if you want to go on a night out at most of the clubs you have to book tickets in advance if you want to enter

Bournemouth is a beautiful place, with many excellent restaurants in the high street. Good place to stay one or two nights to try out the best Hong Kong Food in the UK and Pinocchio Restaurant nearby. Yummy experience.

I LOVE Bournemouth, especially the beach! No matter the weather, I will happily sit on a deck chair, on the beach, with an ice cream, a cuppa, fish & chips, whatever the weather makes me fancy!

Went to the Oceanarium, this is lovely. Also went to the park to see the aviary and the jewel was the museum next to the bath hotel. What a surprise! Beautiful!
"Wonderful Family Stay – Highly Recommend!
We had a fantastic two-night family break at the Cumberland Hotel. We booked a family room with a king-size bed and bunk beds, and used Tesco Clubcard points which was a great bonus.
We arrived just before check-in, easily found parking, and were warmly welcomed. Although our room wasn’t quite ready, we were invited to use the outdoor pool – a real treat on a sunny day! The pool was clean, well-staffed, and perfect for families.
Huge thanks to Ali and Sophia, who looked after us for the whole trip with big smiles and great service.
Our sea-view family room was spacious, spotless, and freshly decorated. The view from the balcony was stunning, and the in-room fridge was a brilliant touch for families. The bathroom was modern, though the shower pressure could be improved.
Breakfast was another highlight. The buffet was hot, fresh, and constantly topped up. Franck, (age 82 was a gem) who served us, was an absolute star – even warming pancakes for our girls!
The Friday night fireworks was amazing!
A great bonus: guests can use facilities at other Oceana hotels. We enjoyed both outdoor pools and even used the indoor pool next door.
Classic, friendly service like this is rare – every member of staff was lovely, a real credit to the team. We had a brilliant holiday and can’t wait to return!
