Hotel Description

The Ullswater is within 150 yards (2 minutes walk-with no main roads to cross) of the cliff top and beach, situated in the most favoured position on the West cliff of Bournemouth. It is peaceful and quiet, free from the noise of traffic yet within only a few minutes walking distance of our sandy beaches, fashionable shops and superb entertainment.
It is also situated close to the Bournemouth International Centre.
A warm and friendly welcome, in a relaxed and informal atmosphere with an emphasis on good food and personal service, ensures all the guests an enjoyable and memorable holiday.
The hotels chefs have been at the Ullswater for 18 years and 7 years respectively and the food is highly recommended, with an excellent vegetarian menu of over 10 choices.
There is a snooker room with darts and table tennis also available.
Regular live entertainment throughout the year, features some of Bournemouths most well known and popular artisits.

Amazing Experience 10 months ago

We booked the hotel for a friends hen party. We had the best service you could ask for. All the staff were very helpfull, especially the young lady who worked from 3pm to 11pm. And the man who worked in the mornings. We ordered a takeaway and asked for the plates and the young lady just gave us all the plates and cutlery that we needed at 10pm :) The customer services is like in a 5* hotel. All the girls at our party were really happy with the hotel. The rooms were clean and tidy, and the location of the hotel is perfect. 10min from the beach and the town centre. Will definetly visit again and recommend to others. Thank you for making the hen party even more special :)

We loved our visit to the Ullswater Hotel 12 months ago

If you want a hotel with a warm homely feeling then you have to go to the Ullswater Hotel, all the staff are very pleasant and extremely helpful.
On or visit the WI (Women's Institute) had a nation meeting at Bournemouth the hotel was full of members lots of the members had stayed many times.
Do try the breakfast it is well cooked and plentiful as the boss (the Wife) said if it good for the WI members its good for me. And when the Boss say thing like that well I am happy Too.
We can recommend the Ullswater Hotel, the location is very good just a short walk to the beach and a large park over looking the beach great views ideal if you have young children plus only a short walk to Bournemouth centre and the pier (beach is lovey sand and very clean.
What make this hotel even more friendly is its pet friendly even has a dinning area were you can take your dog with you for breakfast How good is that.

Great value, terrific friendly attentive service , well situated for beach shops buses 1 year ago

I felt all my requests prior to committing were made which was very reassuring.Zoya and Laura are excellent managers. It made my whole journey and stay very enjoyable and relaxed.
I asked for a heater as I get cold at night, one was found within the hour.
I did not expect breakfast but on arrival
Found out it was included and my food requirements met.
There is someone at reception all the time.
Kay and Andrea were very professional efficient waitress, Rija serviced my room very cheerfully.I popped out to the beach many times as it is 5 minutes away.
I was able to arrive early and wait in the very big lounge, and checked in early too.
I stayed 7 days but would have stayed longer but hotel was full on Saturday night.so I moved on. The I loved the sash windows photos from 1962 in the lounge.
The guests were interesting and friendly, all this made a huge positive impact on me as I was travelling alone.,was able to store my special packed lunch in kitchen fridge, as I was attending a 3 day workshop in Paris time and had to leave early.
Chris the night porter dealt with the fire alarm very quickly,

Good traditional hotel 1 year ago

Very good traditional hotel which is ideal for a short break. Excellent location in a quiet side road on the West Cliff, a couple of minutes walk to a small park on the cliff top and a couple more minutes down to the beach.
Tasty and satisfying full English breakfast served on properly heated plates. Like the fact that it is close enough for a seafront run (or walk) before breakfast. Breakfast and reception staff were all very friendly and helpful. Room was clean and comfortable with plenty of hot water and supplies for making drinks and the free wifi worked well. A very good position for getting around without a car. A bus to the town centre and railway station stops very nearby. It is about half a mile walk to the town too and from there are plentiful buses to Poole, Sandbanks, Christchurch, and further afield.

My wife and myself had a most enjoyable stay at the Ullswater Hotel. The breakfast was superb served in an elegant dining hall. The staff were very attentive and friendly. As we love Bournemouth and have stayed at various hotels in the town over the years I must say the Ullswater Hotel would be a place for a return visit. Talking to other guests during breakfast time I am sure they share the same thoughts with regard to the welcoming hotel staff. As an added bonus the Hotel is not too far away from the beach, lower gardens and town centre.
