Alexander Lodge

Lovely friendly welcome, and attractive quiet property. Comfortable bed with pristine bedding, and towels. Room seemed to be cleaned daily. Sadly I don’t eat breakfast as it did smell delicious. Well stocked hospitality tray, with Lovehearts and humbugs a cute touch. Modern en-suite with shower.

We loved the location, so close to a beautiful, quiet sandy beach. A lovely walk or cycle to Bournemouth. Near Southbourne high street with lots of shops, bars and restaurants. Alexander Lodge is a great find, the hosts are very welcoming and friendly. The accommodation is extremely comfortable, breakfast was delicious. Parking is free and available on site.We would definitely recommend and will make sure we return soon.

I stayed at Alexander Lodge in Southbourne/Bournemouth for a little getaway from London, and I couldn’t have picked a better spot. I booked last minute, and it turned out to be such a lucky choice! The B&B was absolutely perfect—super comfortable and so welcoming. Every morning, I woke up to the sound of birds chirping, and the room was just the right temperature. The bed was so comfy, and the bedding felt lovely. The newly renovated bathroom was a real highlight—especially the vanity with a great mirror for doing my makeup, plus a spot to charge my electric toothbrush. Little details like that made all the difference. James and Andi are fantastic hosts, and the booklet they provide with local recommendations was spot on. I tried Dicky’s and Café Riva as suggested, both were excellent. The location is ideal, and I hired a Beryl bike to cycle along the proms all the way to Hengistbury and up to the ferry—such a beautiful ride. The place was impeccably clean and the eco-friendly touches were a nice bonus, like the ‘twinned’ toilets and the ‘Who gives a Crap’ loo roll. Plus, James even bakes his own bread, which is honestly delicious. Breakfast was definitely a highlight. You place your order the night before, and it’s well worth it. The coffee was especially good (they even had almond milk, which I really appreciated!). To top it off, they surprised me with some flowers and a card for my birthday, which was such a thoughtful touch. Booking last minute, I didn’t quite know what to expect, but this was definitely one of my favourite short breaks from London. I can’t wait to come back and bring my son next time. If you're looking for a relaxing, welcoming spot in Bournemouth, Alexander Lodge is an absolute gem!
