The Lea Hurst is tucked down a quiet residential street in a red-brick house just six minutes’ walk from Bournemouth train station. Parking and Wi-Fi are both complimentary at this cosy, family-run guesthouse. Snug guest rooms with old-school furnishings and colourful accents feature flat-screen TVs (with Freeview) and tea/coffee-making facilities. Some quarters provide sofas; all have en-suite bathrooms. Guests are welcome to play board games and watch DVDs from the owners’ extensive collection. Children aged two and under stay free with a paying adult. A complimentary full English breakfast made with locally-sourced ingredients is served each day in a homely dining room. A fish and chip shop, a cafe and a fast-food outlet are located within a two-minute walk. The Lea Hurst is a 20-minute stroll from the resort’s famed sandy beach. Bournemouth Pier and the beautifully manicured Lower Gardens are both just over a mile away.
Practically everyone who's stayed here has raved about the super-friendly owners of this guesthouse. Evidently, this is a couple that really do go out of their way to proffer a warm welcome and create a tangible 'home from home' ambience.
In addition to the lovely cooked-to-order full English breakfast, visitors are offered a large selection of cereal, yoghurt and croissants, and treated to a rather delightful ‘help yourself' fresh fruit platter of strawberries and melon, amongst other things. Unsurprisingly, very few guests have left this breakfast table feeling unsatisfied!
A great many visitors have been impressed by the pristine interiors within this hotel. The pristine guest rooms earned particularly high praise.
Numerous guests have noted that the décor and furnishings here are, by and large, quite old-fashioned. The owners have declared that a slow yet steady refurbishment process is underway.
Many visitors have noted that the showers here are somewhat lacking in pressure at times. In addition, some guests have also noted that the water temperature can veer from piping hot to freezing cold in an instant.
The walking distance to the beach (20 minutes) and the pier (25 minutes) was deemed just too far to be convenient for a good number of guests. Happily, the owners are able to call on (very swiftly, it seems) a very efficient local taxi service whenever the need arises.
