The Royal Bath Hotel and Spa

Double room with sea views

Opened on Queen Victoria's coronation day in June 1838 the Royal Bath Hotel and Spa was the first hotel in Bournemouth and is seeminly fit for royalty.

The Cumberland Hotel - Oceanna Collection

Superior Double Room with Balcony and Sea View

Forest Park Country Hotel

Presidential Suite

£309

A little out of Bournemouth, the Forest Park Country Hotel in Brockenhurst had to feature on the list as one of the most expensive places to stay.

At a whopping £309 per night, dare I say this hotel is a good price for what you get?

Located in the heart of the New Forest, just under 20 miles away from Bournemouth town centre, the hotel is great for people wanting to escape the hustle and bustle of the town. 

The presidential suite in this tudor renaissance hotel is extra special, with a-pex doors opening out onto your own private balcony.

Boasting an enormous en suite bathroom with a free stnading bath, thermostatic walk-in shower and complimentary robe and slippers it wouldn't be hard to feel affluent here.
