Alexander Lodge, a 4-star guesthouse rated 9.6/10 on Booking.com, is located 6.2 miles from Bournemouth Airport and 2.5 miles from Bournemouth Central. Situated on a picturesque tree-lined avenue in Southbourne, the hotel is a 2-minute walk from the award-winning Blue Flag beach and Southbourne Grove, known for its independent coffee houses and restaurants. The area offers easy access to the New Forest, Sandbanks, and Purbecks via the Purbeck Breezer open-top bus.
Elegant En-Suite Rooms
The guesthouse features four en-suite rooms, including the Deluxe King-sized Double/Twin with a private balcony and the Superior King-sized Double/Twin with a bay window seating area. Pakenham, the largest room, offers flexibility with an extra-large king-sized bed or twin beds, while River is a budget-friendly option for couples. All rooms include flat-screen TVs, complimentary Faith in Nature toiletries, and free WiFi.
Locally Sourced Breakfast
Breakfast is served between 8:00 AM and 9:00 AM, featuring James' Full English with locally sourced ingredients, vegetarian, and vegan options. Guests can also enjoy a continental buffet with cereals, Greek yoghurt, fresh fruit, and artisanal coffee. Pre-ordering the cooked breakfast the night before is required to minimize waste.
Clifftop Leisure Access
The clifftop location provides access to swimming, beach walks, and nearby attractions like the New Forest and Sandbanks. A variety of restaurants, micro-pubs, and coffee shops are within a short walk on Southbourne Grove. The Purbeck Breezer bus offers scenic routes to Swanage via the Sandbanks ferry.
Convenient Guest Services
Free off-road parking and unrestricted street parking are available for guests. The dining room remains accessible throughout the day, with a fridge for guest use. Alexander Lodge also offers gift vouchers for special occasions, personalized upon request.
“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.”
