Bournemouth Area

[smurfchops]

Can anyone recommend a nice hotel/B&B, in or near the  Bournemout area,  for a little weekend break please?  Somewhere on the coast, with nice places to walk around, little shops, we are not 'hillwalker' types!  thanks.

Have you tried Tripadvisor ?

I've no personal knowledge of the area but the Brooklands Hotel is well-situated for your needs and with good reviews on TripAdvisor:

Think I will give Brooklands a miss, Chris, just read the first of the reviews!

Anywhere recommended on outskirts, possibly on seafront somewhere?  Thanks all

To find accommodation on the outskirts, use the Map View facility on TripAdvisor:

^^^  Why does it do that - anyone tell  me how to keep link within box?

[Buenchico]

The East Cliff Cottage Hotel, perhaps?

>>> "anyone tell  me how to keep link within box?"

It's a quirk of AB's new design, Hazlinny.  There's currently no direct way to keep a long link inside the box.  However you can either
(a) manually remove the unnecessary clutter from the link before posting it (by deleting the '?' and everything that follows it) ; or
(b) use Tinyurl.com to shorten the link for you: https://tinyurl.com/app

^^  Thanks Buenchico - just happens wih the long links.

Other thing - don't now seem to have facility to give Best Answer.

Apologies for digressing, Smurf.

Haz: Best Answer still works for me.

I suggest you post the problem on Editors Blog giving details of your environment (Device, operating system, browser)

[My apologies too Smurf]

Well l give up with Bournemouth.  Everywhere with a decent price near the seafront doesn't have free parking, or has bad reviews.  Going elsewhere.  Thanks all!
