Bournemouth Bed and Breakfast, Cheap Hotel and Guest House Accommodation

This seaside resort has seen steady development since it began to be a popular spa town in the 19th century, with the cream of Victorian society mainly from London enjoying its mild climate and the health-giving aromas of its coastal pine trees. The ‘Mont Dore’ cure, offered by the town’s first spa hotel, was said to be healing water whose fame heralded the beginning of the influx of tourists to the town’s landscape of luxurious villas.

Bournemouth Pier

Loved in its day by such famous authors as Thomas Hardy and D.H. Lawrence, the town has in recent years transformed its image as a dormant haven for retired pensioners to become one of the coolest cities in the UK, with a firm emphasis on quality of life. Apart from seven miles of clean golden beaches, it offers top conference facilities, a campus university, an excellent range of accommodation, great cafés and restaurants and lies within easy reach of the New Forest, the Jurassic Coast, Devon, and the Dorset and Hampshire countryside.

At night the town comes alive with a vibrant pub and club scene, with many stag and hen parties celebrated here. Check out the 1812, Crank, Landmarc, The Ballrooms and 2XS for a great night out.

The famous author Mary Shelly who wrote ‘Frankenstein’ is buried in the churchyard of St Peter’s Church along with the heart of her husband the Romantic poet, Percy Bysshe Shelly.
