If you’re planning to spend the festive season away from home in 2012, where better to enjoy traditional celebrations than in a traditional English inn?
Our hotels are located in the most beautiful parts of the country and there are over 50 fascinating and atmospheric properties to choose from. Treat yourself to the perfect English Christmas –with all the trimmings – courtesy of Old English Inns.
Then why not come back and sample another of our inns to see in the New Year?
Raise a glass to 2013 and then stay the night in the comfort of Old English Inns.
The Commodore Hotel is ideally situated on the cliff tops at Southbourne adjacent to the cliff lifts and Fisherman's Walk. The spectacular views across Poole bay take in Swanage to the West and Hengistbury Head and the Isle of Wight to the East. It's 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.
Dine in our attractive Lounge Bar with panoramic sea views where great value food is available daily or simply relax and have a drink from our superb range of real ales, wines and spirits.
Each of our 12 en-suite bedrooms are all non-smoking, and have been fully refurbished in Spring 2008 and are now equipped with brand-new deep pocket sprung divans. Each of the charming and comfortable rooms now features luxurious duvets and pillows, and toiletries from Gilchrist and Soames. All of the bathrooms have also been refurbished with new English fittings and power showers.
We have a function room available for private hire, whatever the occasion, from business meetings to a birthday celebration, which can cater for up to 40 people.
All of our 12 newly refurbished bedrooms have colour TV, Radio alarm and tea and coffee making facilities. We have a range of double, twin and family rooms.
