Alexander Lodge is a traditional Edwardian Guest House offering bed and breakfast accommodation on a quiet, tree-lined road in Southbourne, Bournemouth. The clifftop, award winning Blue Flag beaches and a wide variety of shops, restaurants and cafes are all only 2 minutes walk away.

Wonderful guesthouse in a great location, just a few metres from the endless beach in Southbourne. Andi and James are perfect hosts, providing not only a delicious breakfast - both buffet (with fresh berries every day) and cooked - but also valuable advice on things to do in the area. They try to work in a sustainable way by sourcing as much of the food as possible locally, by avoiding wasting food or by avoiding the use of unnecessary plastic. Our room was very comfortable and spotlessly clean and we loved the very English style of the house and its interior. The room was quite spacious, had tea and coffee making facilities and we got new biscuits every day. The wifi is great as well. We had an online meeting on Friday morning and the connection was uniterrupted for 90 minutes.

(I haven’t come across this before so it really impressed me!) Debbie the host was so accommodating and friendly, genuinely would go above and beyond. It is very clear the pride she takes in this place and so she should! V

    This is a great property to stay at, whether it's a short break or longer. Very quiet, and you can sit in the garden and watch the squirrels and birds. Very clean with everything you need and a great host. As other guests have said, the Chinese down the road is a must. Can't recommend this property enough.

    A very comfortable and attractive guest house. Hosts have given much care and attention to detail ensuring an enjoyable stay. I felt pampered! A great balance of feeling homely yet luxurious. Breakfast was delicious with lots of choices. On a quiet attractive street but very close to beach/shops/eateries/buses. Good off street parking. Great location to explore from or simply enjoy local area. I highly recommend.

    Good location and in easy reach of the seaside and city centre. Apartment was warm and generally comfy although felt a bit crowded for four people. Would be ideal for two travellers. Strong WiFi and neighbourhood seemed quiet. Near by streets offer free parking and we were lucky to get a spot throughout our stay. Easy communication with host and nice bathroom.
