Overview

Historic hotel in central Bournemouth

Location & Surroundings

The Charlesworth sits in the Westcliff area of Bournemouth, an 8-minute walk from the town's award-winning beaches and the Bournemouth Pier. Bournemouth Gardens and Lower Gardens are within walking distance, as are dozens of dining and shopping options. The hotel's central position puts guests at the heart of the city's leisure and entertainment district.

Rooms & Original Character

The hotel retains many original late-19th-century period features, including decorative moldings and high ceilings. Its 13 en suite rooms are spread over three floors and offer Freeview TV, fans, and hairdryers. Family rooms provide extra floor space for groups, though the building has no lift.

Breakfast & Dining

A full English breakfast is served daily, with lighter options available for vegetarian guests. The hotel offers a variety of breakfast choices to suit different dietary needs. No other on-site dining is provided, though many restaurants are a short walk away.

Pet-Friendly Policies

Pet-friendly rooms are available upon request, with an additional charge of £10 per dog per night. The hotel is located near dog-friendly beaches and a dog-friendly pub across the road. Guests should note that only certain rooms accommodate pets, so advance booking is required.

Services & Parking

Daily room cleaning is provided to maintain cleanliness throughout the stay. On-site private parking costs £5 per day and is available for all guests, though spaces are tight. The owners offer local insights and a warm welcome that larger hotels do not match.
