Accommodations & Rooms
Beach Lodge offers nine guest bedrooms, each named after a tree, with en-suite bathrooms providing sea or garden views. The Sequoia room provides extra space and a corner seating area along with a sea view. All rooms come with air conditioning, soundproofing, and super king-size beds for a quiet night's sleep.
Breakfast & Dining
Breakfast is served daily between 8am and 9:30am and is ordered the night before to ensure freshly cooked hot food. The menu includes a full English, a vegetarian option, and the Omega breakfast, often called the OMG breakfast by guests. Each breakfast starts with a plate of fresh fruit and uses local produce where possible.
On-Site Amenities
The hotel has a cozy lounge with a library and fireplace available 24/7 for guest use. A well-stocked library allows guests to borrow books during their stay. The distinctive garden patio area provides a space for outdoor relaxation and dining in good weather.
Location & Parking
Beach Lodge is a 5-minute walk from Boscombe Beach and a 7-minute walk to Southbourne High Street with its restaurants and shops. The property offers off-road parking with two electric car charging points. Hengistbury Head Nature Reserve is within walking distance along the seafront.
Guest Services & Extras
Hosts Casper and Elisabetta offer personalized yoga sessions weekly for guest wellness. Each afternoon, home-baked cakes or cookies are left in the rooms as a daily treat. A plate of fresh fruit is provided at breakfast every morning, and fresh milk is available in a room fridge for tea and coffee.

“From what I gather, this B&B distinguishes itself with a blend of Edwardian charm and modern comforts, positioning guests moments from Southbourne Beach. I particularly note the spacious bedrooms and the tempting homemade cakes, alongside the weekly yoga sessions offered for an enhanced stay. For me, it's a balanced choice for exploring Bournemouth and Dorset.”
