What guests think
Travellers describe Inn in the Park as a friendly, characterful pub-with-rooms near the beach, with a good bar, restaurant and generally tasty breakfasts, but rooms and especially bathrooms feel dated, and maintenance or cleanliness issues appear in several reviews.
The quiet residential setting is a short walk from the sandy beach, and several reviews appreciate the on-site parking. Breakfast service has restricted hours (often around 9-9:30am), and a few guests reported it was unavailable on certain days. Room experiences vary, with some comfortable or spacious, while others encountered occasional noise or heating problems. Overall, expect a cozy seaside pub stay with a great location and some old-building trade-offs.

It was our last day of the coastal walk and we were happy to stay at the Inn in the Park. Great hotel with fab bar and restaurant. Very helpful and friendly staff. Would highly recommend it as the place to stay in Bournemouth.

I was working in the area and came across The Inn in The Park. The hotel is great it's a real home from home with friendly staff and large comfortable rooms with everything you might need including a mini fridge. The bar and restaurant area are modern with a nice warm feel and the locals are friendly and chatty. I didn't go because of the weather but i believe the beach is very nearby and Bournemouth centre is around a mile walk. Highly recommend this place and will definitely stay again when I'm in the area( hopefully the weather will be better).

My only criticism is that on arrival I found out breakfast is only served 9-9.30 - no good on a business trip when you need to be away at 8am. Had I known this I would not have booked. Staff were apologetic and offered a discount on my evening meal in lieu. Thank you.

We stayed for 1 night in a double en-suite room. The pub is in a nice residential area of Bournemouth a short walk from the beach. There is an onsite car park. The room was well equipped, modern & clean. The bathroom worked fine but was a little dated. Breakfast was cooked to order & of good quality however is only available between 9 - 9.30 am. Even though the room was above a bar we were not disturbed by any noise. We enjoyed our stay.

Le pub ferme assez tôt même en week-end (23h) donc nous n'avons absolument pas été dérangés pour dormir. Très bon petit déjeuner à l'anglaise avec plusieurs choix possibles. Personnel très sympathique.

3 night stay, the room looked drab and tired but the bed was comfortable. The bathroom furnishings were ok although it needed a deep clean. The policy of not cleaning the room during occupancy since COVID should be a guest request not stipulation. There was an ample supply of tea, coffee, it would have been nice if the complimentary water and biscuits were refreshed daily. We didn’t eat in the evening but the breakfast was really good. We arrived Sunday to find food finished at 5.30pm, but were given suggestions of places to eat. Unfortunately we returned to find the bar closes at 8.30 Sunday. We found all the staff were very friendly and helpful.

I didn't go because of the weather but i believe the beach is very nearby and Bournemouth centre is around a mile walk.

This really wasn’t a pleasant stay. I arrived and we showed to my room which was freezing cold as the radiator wasn’t turned on. I tried to book a table for 8:30 pm but was told the kitchen closed at 8 pm. Even when I arrive home from dinner the room was still freezing and the duvet cover was very thin. The window banged all night heating didn’t come on early in the morning. I was cold all night.The breakfast the following day was awful.

I prefer a few more veggies than was on the menu but it was the chill out place we needed. Thankyou 🤗

Ideally situated for a good walk between Sandbanks and Bournemouth. The food is lovely and has a good choice of gluten free meals, which was good for me, this also applied to the breakfast. The rooms could do with a bit of redecorating but perfectly adequate. Note that if you are a night owl or early riser you have to access the room by the fire exit stairs leading from the car park as the middle door to the pub and front door is locked as soon as pub closes and before breakfast. I feel that as a guest, there should be some other option! I also think the price for the “Superior” double room is rather expensive for what you get. But overall it was a pleasant 2 night stay.

Staff were apologetic and offered a discount on my evening meal in lieu. Thank you.
Lovely hotel conveniently situated a 5 min walk from beach. Lovely en suite room with all necessary facilities. Good bar food with well kept real ale. My only criticism is that on arrival I found out breakfast is only served 9-9.30 - no good on a business trip when you need to be away at 8am. Had I known this I would not have booked. Staff were apologetic and offered a discount on my evening meal in lieu. Thank you.

Bathroom needs some attention, had a bit of a problem over breakfast. It was included in my booking but wasn't available. They gave me a discount on my evening meal to make up for it.

We stayed on a Thursday evening which is quiz night. Very noisy in our room until 10:30 when it finished. Friendly staff. Nice room. Excellent choice of cooked breakfast but would have liked a choice of cereals or pastries.

From the moment we checked in, the staff couldn’t be more helpful. Our room was lovely and the food was excellent. We wouldn’t hesitate to stay again.

Really great room with a relaxed pub below in a really nice location close to the beach. The staff were absolutely incredible, so welcoming and helpful and really made you feel like a valued guest from the second you walked in the door to the time we left. Breakfast had a good variety and was excellent quality. Would highly recommend this place
