We selected the Avalon for a two day one night break in the Bournemouth area and were pleased with what we found. Firstly a friendly and welcoming greeting when we arrived by Olga who showed us to our room and covered any questions that we had. We stayed in Arthur which was a nicely presented room with a decent sized... More

The Avalon Beach Hotel is a perfect retreat for any family and when they say they are only minuets walk from a long sandy beach with many attractions they are not wrong the hotel is situated in a lovely and safe area. The hotel staff are extremely friendly and took our children in to the garden to feed the rabbits... More

The Avalon Beach hotel was a fantastic place to stay during my research in Bournemouth. The room I stayed in was spacious, very clean and had all the essentials plus more. The window of the room faced the sun in the morning for sunrise. The breakfast buffet had plenty of choice to choose from every morning. The evening meal was... More

We went here as a family and loved the room we stayed in. It had 2 single beds and 1 camp bed. We had a very small, but smart kitchen with a microwave, a couple of cupboards, bowls etc. and a fridge. We also had breakfast there and compliments to the chef for the scones and the banana bread. The... More

My family spent our second summer at Avalon and once again the experience was excellent! Our young children love the place, especially the rabbits and the games room, and the two minute walk to the beach is an added bonus. It is also woth noting that above the beach there is a fantastic playground for children, with crazy golf and... More

The Avalon is two houses turned into a hotel, but I think the description some reviewers have made that it feels more like a guest house is fair. It is also quite a step from Bournemouth - too far to walk unless you are really keen on long walks, so you would need to drive or take a bus. It... More

This is a lovely littel boutique type hotel. My husband and I had a 3 night stay in October and stayed in the room Guinevere. The rooms are light and airy and spotlessly clean. The bed was very comfortable. The breakfast in the morning was lovely and set us up for the day. I loved the coffee machine!!! We were... More

We had a very happy family holiday here. Easy parking, great for shops, great for beach, big welcome. Children loved feeding the rabbits. Big room. Cosy and warm. Relaxed and informal atmosphere. Nice breakfast. Loved the coffee machine. 10/10

We visted the hotel at the beginning of summer. When I first arrived at the house, I asked if we could book a table for dinner to be told that there was no chef working that night. This meant that we had to make alternative plans with two young children - and although it was explained to us that the... More

My sister and I took my elderly mother away for a few days break at the end of September 2011 and the Avalon Beach Hotel looked good. When I telephoned to book I was offered rooms on the first floor, but when I explained my mother is 96 years old and disabled I was immediately offered adjoining rooms on the... More
