I have seen reviews on this hotel and having now stayed there for a few nights feel the truth must be told. You get what you pay for. and you can go next door and use the indoor or outdoor swimming pools as this hotel is owned by the same family. The bar is great and the food at lunch... more

We stayed at Cottonwood for 4 nights. The hotel is warm and very clean. We were given a front room overlooking the gardens with lovely sea views. The room was old fashioned but clean and the bed was very comfortable. There's a nice bar with bar meals in the evening but we usually walked into town, a lovely walk which... more

Short break away with friends celebrating a birthday. Booked at the last miniute. Staff very accommodating and helpful. Just had bed and breakfast but was great value for the money we paid. The hotel was part of a group and had a swimming pool at the hotel next door which we could use for free of charge! This was a... more

What a desperate place! If you can find you way in and locate reception you will be doing well to begin with. The Hotel - Now called The Inn on The Cliff - is very tired. The first room we were offered was unnaceptable, it was a triple and i have confirmation for a double, and it stank. When finally... more

There was no shower of any description - not even an attachment to the bath taps.The old avocado bath was badly stained and there was absolutely... more

My wife and I recently stayed at the Cottonwood for four nights with a coach party. You cannot expect 4* facilities at the prices we paid the holiday was the best value for money we have ever had. Like many hotels in Bournemouth, the floorboards creaked and the pressure in the showerhead over the bath was hopeless but there was... more

Had a great fortnights holiday staying at the Cottonwood. A real value for money hotel and a great find. Previously I have stayed on West Cliff but the price of this hotel was unbeatable - it shares the amenities of the 2 hotels either side). East cliff is much quieter and the hotel is far enough from the town to... more

Bournemouth accommodation is like a lucky packet but we were pleasantly surprised with the Cottonwood. The outside is a bit tired but the rooms are comfortably furnished and clean (although I am sure avocado bathrooms went out years ago). got a good 2 nights sleep in a comfortable bed. Its at the top of the East Cliff hill but it... more
