It pains me to write a negative review, however i was bitterly disappointed with our Avalon Beach Hotel experience. It was reading all the positive reviews that made my mind up to book this hotel, however our experience did not mirror what we had previously read. Firstly a family room on the top floor of the building (with no lift)... More

We stayed at the Avalon Beach hotel whilst we were in Bournemouth for a wedding. We were checked into the hotel very quickly and shown to our room. We stayed in Arthur. Arthur was very comfortable - the bed was wonderful, the room and en-suite spacious and I also like that their was a little sofa there. Beakfast was fantastic... More

Highly recommend this hotel to anyone. The whole outfit was professionally managed, very clean, excellent choices on the breakfast menu which were delicious. The staff and owner were wonderfully friendly and nothing was too much trouble. Brilliant hotel / B&B, we will most certainly be back with out a doubt.

Spent one night here in August with our grandchildren. Warm welcome when we arrived and although the room was on the top floor we were delighted with it. large comfy beds, spotless bedlinen and room. Our grandson (aged 2) really enjoyed the shower! Well presented in all areas. Children immediately introduced to the rabbits. Thank you Olga. Breakfast was excellent... More

We stayed here on our wedding night and the following night, in May 2011. When we arrived at the hotel, at the end of our lovely wedding day, we were gravely disappointed when we opened the door to our room. There was absolutely no acknowledgement of our wedding, not even a bottle of wine or a rose or anything. I... More

This is now our third stay at the Avalon and the quality of everything is still as good as the first trip. Its ticks all the boxes for clean, smart, stylish accomodation with charming and helpful staff, this year Olga was so helpful and the owner Paul as always makes you feel completely at home. Our daughter loves the garden... More

It was just by chance that we picked this hotel from many on the internet-and we were so glad we had. Paul, the owner, was most welcoming and put our shy 6 year old at ease straight away by asking her to be in charge of feeding the rabbits. The room was clean and smart, the garden well kept and...

My family and I do not go away to the British coast often but given recent financial pressures we thought we would give Bournemouth a try for a summer weekend break. The Avalon Beach Hotel made this one of the best family breaks we have enjoyed in recent years, with a great family-friendly atmosphere, great tasting local fare and extremely... More

The breakfast was as nice as any at a B&B. Room really quite small; service staff very friendly and helpful. I liked this hotel just fine, but wonder how it got to be a European Favorite. It is about 150 meters from the beach access and also very convenient to many dinner choices. I think it would be a great... More

We enjoyed our stay. The room was modern, clean & comfortable with a really good shower. Paul was there to greet us in the morning for breakfast and gave us a 1st class service. Breakfast was good followed by a 5 minute stroll to Southbourne beach. We walked into Bournemouth along the beach which took just under an hour..taxi back... More
