Last-minute hotel deals in Christchurch

Welcome to Dolphins Hotel, a family-run B&B in the heart of Bournemouth — just a 10-minute stroll from the sandy beach and lively pier.

We’re Lena and Miles Dolphin — yes, our surname is Dolphin, so we figured naming the hotel after ourselves was only fair! We’ve been happily married for 25 years (somehow we’re still together — don’t ask us how!), and we’ve been running this cosy little spot since 2004. After 20 years in business, we definitely know what we’re doing — and many of our guests have become lifelong friends along the way.

Location: Perfectly placed in central Bournemouth, within easy walking distance of the beach, pier, and Bournemouth International Centre.

Accommodation: Comfortable, well-equipped rooms with free Wi-Fi (wired and wireless), TV, tea and coffee making facilities, and soft carpeted floors — a cosy home away from home.

Parking: We offer limited free private parking on-site — and when we say “limited,” we mean if you arrive early, you’ll be fine. If you’re the last one in… well, there’s a public car park nearby (and yes, you’ll have to pay — sorry!).

Eco-Friendly: We also have charging points for electric cars for guests who drive sustainably.

Breakfast: Enjoy a hearty, freshly cooked Full English breakfast served every morning in our warm dining area.

Extras: A small, peaceful garden with BBQ facilities — perfect for relaxing on sunny days.

Pet Friendly: Pets are welcome, so feel free to bring your furry friends along.

Ideal For: Couples especially love the location, giving it a 9.2 rating for two-person getaways.
