3-star cliff-top hotel with panoramic sea views directly across from Bournemouth beach
Location & Views
The Commodore Hotel sits on the cliff tops at Southbourne, directly across the road from the beach. All rooms offer panoramic sea views across Poole Bay, stretching from Swanage to the West to Hengistbury Head and the Isle of Wight to the East. The hotel is a short walk from Fisherman's Walk and the cliff lifts provide direct access to the sand below.
Rooms & Amenities
The hotel offers bright, airy bedrooms, most with sea views, each equipped with a private bathroom with a power shower and Gilchrist and Soames toiletries. Guests have 24-hour access to the building using their room key, with no restrictions from pub opening hours. Each room also provides a large TV, tea and coffee making facilities, and a comfortable bed.
Dining & Bar
The on-site Greene King pub serves great-value food and drinks daily, including Real Ales, with a menu that caters to various dietary needs and offers a kids' menu. Breakfast is served each morning with choices including a traditional English breakfast and a continental buffet with fresh fruit and pastries. The bar area offers a traditional pub atmosphere with a pool table, and outdoor garden seating is available for warmer days.
Pet-Friendly
The Commodore is a dog-friendly hotel where dogs are allowed in all bedrooms and the restaurant and bar areas. Pet bowls are provided, and the beach directly across the road permits dogs all year round. This makes the hotel a practical base for travelers with pets visiting the Bournemouth coast.
Nearby Attractions
Guests can walk along the cliff top to Boscombe and Bournemouth, or explore Hengistbury Head and Christchurch Castle. The New Forest is also close by, and several golf clubs are within a 15-minute drive. The Isle of Wight ferry is a 30-minute car journey away.

“The hotel's position is truly remarkable, perched right on the cliff, offering easy access to both the beach and town; several rooms boast stunning sea views, enhancing the experience considerably. Its cozy bar, excellent breakfast, and friendly staff create an inviting and relaxed atmosphere. A return visit feels inevitable.”
