The Commodore Hotel in Southbourne near Bournemouth is on the Dorset cliff tops at Southbourne adjacent to the cliff lifts and Fisherman's Walk with easy access from the A31 and A338.
The spectacular views across Poole bay take in Swanage to the West and Hengistbury Head and the Isle of Wight to the East. The Commodores location close to the New Forest and Bournemouth town centre makes it an ideal base from which to explore Hampshire and Dorset.
The Commodore was built in 1928 and was originally called Crawford s Tea Rooms. In the war it was used to house serving American airmen. In the early 50 s an extension was added and it became Crawford s Bar and Hotel. Not long after that it became The Commodore Hotel.
A very popular holiday location. There is limited car parking provided by the hotel but ample on-street car parking within a few minutes walk.
