Alexander Lodge

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.

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.

Nothing - all good

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

Great welcome, very comfortable, lovely breakfast. Whats not to like?

Clean, modern, warm and welcoming. Owners were delightful and couldn’t have been more attentive. Breakfast was delicious and fresh coffee lovely. Short walk to the beach.

Water pressure in the shower wasn’t very strong, but probably not much that could be done about that- the shower itself was modern and clean.

Everything was great, the bedroom was beautiful, the bed was very comfy, the breakfast was cooked fresh every morning. Nothing was too much trouble. A welcome cup of tea was offered on our arrival, just what we needed after our journey.

Only the weather!

The property is very clean and tidy. The en-suite shower was immaculate. The bed was very comfortable giving a good nights sleep. Breakfast kept me going most of the day and there was the option to choose the items you wanted. Some thing that was really nice was being able to make tea with fresh milk in your room. It’s very clear the owners really care about their guests and make them feel very welcome.

PEACEFUL AND QUIET! BEST LOCATION! BREAKFAST EXCELLENT! JUST LIKE HOME!

Clean, comfortable, very friendly owner, great breakfast (bacon was so tasty). Great walks from the door.

The staff is very friendly and I couldn't ask for more. It's a quiet place and everything you need for a break from work. Andi's breakfast is just delicious, and the location is just breathtaking. Definitely will come back xx

Andi - the host was so welcoming- nothing was too much trouble. I really appreciated that cup of tea when I arrived. the accommodation was extremely comfortable, spotless clean and every little thing, including the provision of phone charges and oat milk, made sure that my stay was as comfortable as it could be. I particularly liked the emphasis on sustainability with breakfast ingredients sourced locally. The property is very convenient to both the beach and some really wonderful eateries. The coastal bus stops nearby so getting around with out the car is really easy, and with recommendations of where to visit by Andi I could not have asked for more. A real gem !

The food was excellent and well cooked and served nice and hot.

good location just off the seafront 5minute walk to bus stop and local shops

nothing was too much trouble very good owners fantastic facility great breakfast plenty of choice

Andi and James where the perfect hosts. Very clean rooms big comfy bed and plenty of storage space and a superb breakfast to start your day. Will definitely be returning.

This is a little gem of a guest house. Homely, clean and comfortable and a two minute walk from the beach one way and shops and restaurants the other. Friendly hosts and delicious breakfast. I’ll definitely be coming back!

Beautiful place to stay,I loved sitting on the balcony. Only a couple of minutes walk from the beach and the opposite walk is to the shops and restaurants. I would definitely recommend staying here.
