Our Wonderful Post-Christmas Stay at Holiday Inn Bournemouth What a lovely way to extend the Christmas magic! We (two adults and our 10-year-old daughter) enjoyed a one-night family getaway at the Holiday Inn Bournemouth from 26-27 December 2025, and it was the ideal spot for a relaxed seaside break. The hotel’s central location is fantastic – just a short walk from the beautiful Bournemouth beach and town centre. Even in winter, the seafront was invigorating with crisp air and stunning views over the bay. Our family room was modern, spacious, and spotlessly clean – perfect for the three of us, with comfortable beds and all the amenities we needed to unwind after the festive season. The staff were friendly and welcoming, making check-in smooth and offering great recommendations for family-friendly spots nearby. Breakfast was a real highlight: a generous buffet with plenty of hot and cold options, including kid-friendly choices that kept our daughter happy and energised for exploring the pier and gardens. Although our stay was short, the Holiday Inn Bournemouth felt comfortable, convenient, and great value – a reliable choice for families. We’d happily return for a longer holiday by the sea! 🌊🎄

Yes

Atmosphere is important and the staff went above and beyond to be friendly and helpful. We went out of season so that may have made a difference to the dynamic. There was calm and peace both important to us. The breakfast was superb although I wanted to give some tips as to how to make the best scrambled eggs! You had to choose your time to use the pool as not always available but the gym was generally quiet. We are looking forward to returning next year.

The whole hotel was clean and tidy with very new decor. All staff were friendly and the breakfast was nice with plenty of choices. Highly recommend.

Great as always

Really helpful staff, from reception to the restaurant. Clean hotel, spacious clean rooms.
