“Alexander Lodge, with its Edwardian charm on a quiet Southbourne street, feels immediately welcoming. Breakfast is a highlight, made with local ingredients and tailored to individual needs, while the rooms are spotless and thoughtfully equipped, right down to the Love Hearts. I appreciate the hotel's dedication to sustainability, from the refillable toiletries to the recycled paper, which makes it a particularly attractive option.”
