East Cliff Cottage Hotel

Great hotel. We enjoyed a 5 day break. Good location for walk to Bournemouth Town Centre & beach, comfortable sizeable room, car parking, excellent, helpful host (Andrew). Would recommend and will definitely use again, when in Bournemouth.

Horrid unkempt outside rough area just the worse experience ever. Smell on hotel awful musty odour so bad we left and stayed elsewhere. No restaurant no bar. Needs completely renovating inside and outside. I really don't understand the star rating it has. For 140 I would expect far more at least tidy and clean. We had the money taken from our account. I really can't say how bad it is.

Lovely cosy little cottage, with an ideal location of about 10mins (walking) from the beach front which is ideal for walkers and about 20mins (walking) from the train station! So if you are on foot 100% recommend the location. The cottage is situated on a road (there was some noise but nothing major) however it wasn’t much of an issue but if that’s a concern for you I’d bear that in mind. The room was clean and tidy, very cosy and felt homely which was nice, a little small for the price and the tv was rather small. But the facilities were amazing, fridge, hairdryer, big towels and wardrope, table! So 10/10 facilities! Breakfast was included and was very good service and yummy! Overall very satisfied with our stay! :) thank you!

I chose this specific hotel, due to the “cottage vibes” for me and my partner to stay overnight in. The location was ideal, and it wasnt an extreme amount of money either Walking to the hotel you pass other hotels that look from the outside not very good, the area itself isnt bad but its also not the best and the reviews of said hotels are terrible Me and my partner arrived earlier than we declared, just to ask if the hotel could keep our bags safe until check-in which the owner was more than happy to do, and more so provided some comedy about the situation (which I didint understand at first but soon learned that was his sense of humor) The Room: I paid £120 a month in advance for the comfort en-suite including a free breakfast (which was amazing) The actual room itself was very clean, appropriately decorated, and the bathroom was also spacious which was refreshing. The bed was very nice, the mattress was the perfect balance, facilities were great, fridge was superb etc… The only negatives about the room: Even with the window and curtain fully open it was far too hot which meant me and my partner struggled to sleep so I think at £120 in future the owner should definitley have a small fan in the room. The “flatscreen tv” also wasnt that impressive and the wifi was unusable, sometimes one bar, sometimes would disconnect completely ( phone service very good though!) and finally the room is a bit small but it’s a cottage (and they offer a bigger room) so they get a free pass for that! The service: Apart from the awkward first interaction where the owner was trying to be funny, and super nice and helpful, but the both of us misunderstood the situation, he had a dry sense of humour which I thought was rudeness at first but quite the opposite! Apart from that initial miscommunication, I cannot fault Andrew’s service it was sublime. I didn’t realise this but he had sent multiple emails about the booking which were friendly reminders which I never saw (guests check your spam/trash emails!!!) Andrew was extremely accommodating with the late notice bag requests (as well as the leaving bags until the last part of our final day after check-out) and I have no doubt that had we have asked for anything he would have provided it. Him and the staff served a truly exceptional breakfast with a whole range of options for special dietary requirements which really went the extra mile, with the layout of the dining room being beautiful and when he served my tea he even made sure that the handle was facing in the correct position which was a very impressive detail. Overall: If you don’t have a lot of money then I would say that a travelodge or premier inn provides better value if you find the right price, if you dont care about service or have extra requirements then go there. However , if service makes a hotel for you then this is the place to stay, there is no doubt that you will be treated like royalty there! Or if you do have a few bob and you want t

Had a warm welcome from the owner. We were pleasantly surprised when we went to our room. The room and ensuite were both spotlessly clean and bed comfortable. Towels and soft furnishings were in good condition. Breakfast was good. We only stayed one night but would have been happy to stay longer. All the communal areas were clean. The hotel is small without some of the amenities of larger hotels but is excellent value for money compared to other local hotels. Would definitely return.

Booked last minute, couldnt have been more friendly. The rooms were spacious as was the en-suite. Beautiful and clean. Breakfast included and very good. Just 1 min walk from the beach so locations was fantastic. Free parking and we could take our dog. All in all great place.
