Welcome to Dolphins Hotel, a family-run B&B in the heart of Bournemouth — just a 10-minute stroll from the sandy beach and lively pier. We’re Lena and Miles Dolphin — yes, our surname is Dolphin, so we figured naming the hotel after ourselves was only fair! We’ve been happily married for 25 years (somehow we’re still together — don’t ask us how!), and we’ve been running this cosy little spot since 2004. After 20 years in business, we definitely know what we’re doing — and many of our guests have become lifelong friends along the way. Location: Perfectly placed in central Bournemouth, within easy walking distance of the beach, pier, and Bournemouth International Centre. Accommodation: Comfortable, well-equipped rooms with free Wi-Fi (wired and wireless), TV, tea and coffee making facilities, and soft carpeted floors — a cosy home away from home. Parking: We offer limited free private parking on-site — and when we say “limited,” we mean if you arrive early, you’ll be fine. If you’re the last one in… well, there’s a public car park nearby (and yes, you’ll have to pay — sorry!). Eco-Friendly: We also have charging points for electric cars for guests who drive sustainably. Breakfast: Enjoy a hearty, freshly cooked Full English breakfast served every morning in our warm dining area. Extras: A small, peaceful garden with BBQ facilities — perfect for relaxing on sunny days. Pet Friendly: Pets are welcome, so feel free to bring your furry friends along. Ideal For: Couples especially love the location, giving it a 9.2 rating for two-person getaways.

What you can expect from the dog-friendly hotels here

Dog-friendly hotels in Bournemouth are used to welcoming canine guests and are generally well set up for both practical needs and comfort. Many are close to the seafront or town centre, which means you won’t need a car for most walks.

Here’s what you’ll usually find in a Bournemouth dog-friendly hotel:

  • Pet-friendly rooms near walks and beaches. Some hotels offer rooms with easy access to sandy stretches or nearby parks. This is ideal for early-morning strolls or returning after a beach run.
  • Close to coastal and park routes. Many hotels are just a short walk from Bournemouth Beach, the Bournemouth Pier, or the Lower Gardens, giving you options for gentle or more energetic walks.
  • Dog-friendly dining nearby. Local cafés, pubs, and even some restaurants welcome dogs either inside or in outdoor seating areas. Hotel staff can often recommend the best spots to relax with your pet after a long walk.
  • Practical touches for pets. Some places provide dog bowls, towels, and drying areas to make muddy paws or wet fur less of a hassle after seaside adventures.

With beaches, gardens, and a friendly town centre on your doorstep, Bournemouth makes it easy to enjoy every moment of your holiday with your dog.
