Andi & James went over and beyond to make our stay really comfortable and enjoyable, exceptionally clean, comfortable bed, breakfast was delicious and set is up for the day, location perfect from the shops & the beach, definitely coming back again 😊👌
Breakfast options were excellent and James' home-baked bread was really nice. The location is excellent for easy access to th beach, Bournemouth town centre and attractions, also nearby locations like Christchurch and Ringwood.
Room, breakfast, accommodation excellent,
Excellent hosts, very comfortable, great breakfast from local source. Access to fridge.
Beautiful room friendly hosts and the breakfast was amazing
The bedroom was well appointed and very comfortable. So many nice touches with fresh milk for tea and coffee, biscuits and sweets. The bathroom had lovely fluffy towels and toiletries. Breakfast was delicious. We enjoyed an English breakfast but also available was fruit, cereal, juices etc. The host had even provided home made bread. Location was perfect with very short walk to the beach or to a variety of good restaurants. Thank you Andi and James for providing a very comfortable and enjoyable short stay.
Breakfast was delicous and kept us fed thought the day. The location is less than a five minute walk from both the beach and various resturants. Soft sheets on the bed and plenty of amenities. The hosts were friendly and very courteous.
Breakfast was great good choice, nice table and seating, quiet and respectable. Also very good service from owner.
Everything.
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.
Clean comfortable good location. Got character.
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!
Beautiful room very clean great location and very friendly helpful owner
