Mory House is set in Southbourne, a short stroll from Southbourne Beach and 5 km from Bournemouth International Centre. Free private parking is available on site.

Rooms are fitted with a flat-screen TV, a mini silent fridge and a Tassimo coffee machine. You will find a kettle in the room. For your comfort, you will find free toiletries and a hairdryer. Mory House features free WiFi throughout the property.

The breakfast was incredible (I mean it) and so timely. A very nice touch for you to eat in your room. Hosts were warm and helpful. Very close to the beach as well which is quiet and clean. I read the previous reviews of Mory House so frankly I expected nothing less. Would recommend twice over.

Southern Breeze Lodge is located in Southbourne, Bournemouth, just 200 metres from the cliffs, overlooking 7 miles of sandy beaches. The Lodge offers rooms with free WiFi and free parking.

Each bedroom at Southern Breeze features an LCD TV, radio and tea/coffee-making facilities. They include private bathrooms with shaving points and hairdryers.

This was a lovely stay. If possible, I would grant 11/10 stars, not just 10. A very nice building, neatly and tastefully furnished, sunny, friendly room (mine was Nr.5), a freshly baked slice of cake each morning, a wide range for breakfast, high quality sanitary items in the modern bathroom and in total a sustainable approach. I hope to be back and would look forward to meet these lovely hosts again.

    This apartment is in an amazing location, close to a stunning cliff top walk down to beach or Bournemouth town, & close to all the amenities. Eaglescliffe is a spacious apartment and has everything you need for a lovely break away. We absolutely loved the warm and stylish interior design with thoughtful touches, we felt very relaxed here and had a lovely time, can't recommend this place enough.

    The apartment was very well equipped and extremely clean. The kitchen had everything you would need, utensils, cutlery, etc. Beautiful views of the sea and it was close to the shopping centre and the beach. We had a really lovely stay. It was also great to have a designated parking space for the duration of the stay, one less thing to think about.

    we loved the quirky design , fun lighting, amazing bath, lovely thoughtful welcome pack, cute outdoor space which was ideal when the kids were asleep for relaxing with a glass of wine. The kitchen had everything you could think of and more even kids bits and bobs and was sleek and modern. we would definitely stay here again.

    Boutique quality small hotel that offers uncompromising quality and comfort. A very classy friendly hotel that I highly recommend. We stayed in a small room which was excellent and well laid out. Decor and furnishings are exceptional with great quality linen and towels. Slept well on a firm and supportive mattress. Lovely breakfast freshly prepared to order. Lastly the staff were welcoming and professional and made us feel very at home. Highly recommended. Joe and Jenny from Watford
