Hotels in Dorset

Our Hotels in Dorset 

Bournemouth is home to some of the country’s finest boutique hotels. The Green House Hotel is one of our top picks in the area. Serious about luxury and passionate about sustainability, the hotel has been formally recognised as one of the world’s top eco-hotels.

Bournemouth’s Green House Hotel recently underwent an 18-month refurbishment, during which the environmental impact of every decision that was made by the team was given full consideration. In April 2010, the new hotel opened to rave reviews – and they’ve continued rolling in ever since. 

Nestled between Dorset’s finest blue-flag golden beaches and just moments from the New Forest and all its ancient mysteries, the Green House Hotel is a must for weekend breaks and longer stays in Bournemouth. 

The Grade II Victorian villa is situated in the heart of the coastal town. There are just 32 rooms here, giving the hotel an air of peace and tranquillity that makes it perfect for relaxing breaks when you just need to get away from it all. 

Every bedroom at the Green House Hotel has been beautifully furnished with bespoke, handcrafted furniture. All furniture is made in the UK, with a focus on natural and sustainable materials. Guests have the option of small double, double, large double, and master double bedrooms. 

The hotel’s restaurant, Arbor, is another jewel in its crown. The restaurant holds two rosettes awarded by the AA and serves seasonal menus using local, sustainable ingredients. The imaginative dishes are beautifully cooked to showcase the quality of the ingredients being used. 

Head Chef Andy Hilton is passionate about sourcing classic and new ingredients straight from the farm gate and fresh off the trawlers.

Places to Stay in Bournemouth

Bournemouth is England’s most popular seaside resort – and for good reason. 

Visit Bournemouth, and you’ll be treated to seven miles of beautiful sandy beaches stretching from Sandbanks to Christchurch. Dorset’s largest seaside town is famous for its Victorian charm, great bars and restaurants and unmissable family-friendly attractions. 

Treat yourself to a stay at The Green House, and you’ll be able to experience everything Bournemouth has to offer. The luxury boutique hotel is situated in the heart of Bournemouth, nestled between some of Dorset’s finest blue-flag golden beaches and natural wonders like the New Forest. 

The Green House is well known for its luxurious accommodation, but the team here are also passionate about sustainability. As such, the beautifully restored, 32-room Grade II Victorian villa has been formally recognised as one of the world’s top eco-hotels.

The recent 18-month refurbishment of the hotel was completed with sustainability firmly in mind. The environmental impact of every decision was given careful consideration, allowing the team to create a truly sustainable, environmentally friendly retreat in the heart of Bournemouth. 

All guest bedrooms at The Green House have been furnished with bespoke, hand-crafted furniture. Every piece has been made in the UK using natural and sustainable materials. Guests can choose from four room categories: cosy double, classic double, large double and deluxe double.

The Green House is moments from Bournemouth’s famous attractions. There are museums, galleries, amusement arcades, bars, and restaurants on the doorstep, and a host of other attractions are within walking distance. 

Adrenaline junkies will love the beach-to-shore zip-wire, and Bournemouth Beach’s famous beach huts are just a short walk from the door of the hotel. 

Best Hotels in Dorset

Once you’ve booked your perfect Dorset Hotel, you’ll be able to start planning what you’re going to do in the area. 

Dorset is home to some amazing attractions, ranging from family-friendly visitor attractions like country parks, adventure playgrounds, zoos, and farms, to world-class museums and galleries that allow visitors to get a real insight into the area and its culture. 

If you’re heading to Dorset, a day at the beach is essential. There are many great beaches in the area, several of which stretch for miles of sandy shores. 

We’d highly recommend a day out at Durdle Door. Studland and Shell Bay are also hugely popular with our guests. The beautiful sandy peninsula Mudeford Sandbank Beach is another good option, ideal for summer picnics and watersports. 

Family-friendly attractions don’t get much better than Monkey World. The 65-acre ape and monkey sanctuary is the perfect place to see primates up close. The park has been incorporated into the natural countryside and woodland, so you can spend several hours exploring this otherworldly attraction. 

If you’re interested in local history, don’t miss Dorset’s world-famous medieval castle. Corfe Castle dates back over a thousand years and has a fascinating past. Having been both a royal palace and fortress, the castle has plenty of tales to tell. 

We’d recommend visiting the ruins and exploring the village square while you’re in the area. And if hunger strikes, make sure you try a traditional Dorset cream tea in the 18th-century tea room.
