Chine Hotel

Believed by many to be the best kept secret in Bournemouth - The Chine is an oasis of true comfort and relaxation set in three acres of beautiful mature gardens and offering breath taking, unspoilt sea views over the tree tops. It is ideal for guests looking for a peaceful break - with the beach just a two-minute walk from the hotel grounds - as well as for those wishing to enjoy a little shopping and entertainment in the town centre which is just a five-minute drive away. The hotel overlooks and is within easy access of the Surf Reef. There is plenty to enjoy in the hotel grounds also including water features - secluded areas - a playhouse for the children and of course - the lovely views. The hotel offers an outdoor heated pool and inside the hotel there is a sumptuous Roman Spa in which to unwind. The Sea View restaurant offers superb cuisine - the quality of which is matched only by its fantastic views over the tree tops and out to sea. The cosy cocktail bar is the perfect spot for a tempting aperitif or after-dinner drink - enjoyed by the fireside during the winter months. All 79 rooms at The Chine are superbly well-appointed - many with breath taking sea views and balconies.
