Location

The 4-star hotel is about 5 km from Bournemouth airport and within a 700-metre distance of such cultural venues as Russell-Cotes Art Gallery & Museum. The public Square is a 6-minute walk away, and there is the award-winning Oceanarium nearby.

Nature lovers will appreciate the proximity to Alum Chine Beach, which is 1.1 km away. The seaside park "Boscombe Chine Gardens" is a 25-minute stroll away, and Bournemouth Central train station is situated within reach of the Sea Stone.

They also have tea and coffee making equipment, and a fridge available for self-catering. Bathroom essentials include a separate toilet and a shower, and such comforts as hairdryers and bath sheets.

Eat & Drink

Sea Stone Hotel is steps away from the seafood restaurant The Crab at Bournemouth.

“What stands out is the exceptional staff, repeatedly praised for their attentiveness. The Crab restaurant, with its Two Rosette rating, signals a serious commitment to seafood. Its location, near the beach and Bournemouth International Centre, makes it ideal for both leisure and business; personally, I'd come for the location and the restaurant.”

The staff were helpful and friendly, what i expected.
I was disappointed in my room. The room itself and general decor seem old and in need of a refresh. The place lacks the elegance described on their website. I think the description set my expectations too high.

a coastal dream come true

shore proximity comfortable room tv fridge complete bathroom
the hotel location felt very close to the shore. i really liked our room with a tv, a fridge, and sofa. the bedroom also had a tv, a perfect setup. the bathroom includes everything we needed, such small comforts.
i noticed the rooms look a little tired, but they were very clean. this is hardly a fault, but worth mentioning.
