Why we love this
📍Pack your walking boots and explore the natural beauty of the Jurassic coast on a number of walking routes accessible from the hotel. Smell the aroma of fresh pine and hear tranquil birdsong as you amble through the wooded chine, spot Old Harry rocks peeping through palm trees and zig zag clifftop paths to tropical gardens (click here for a walking map from the hotel)
📍Dig your feet into soft sand and feel the fresh sea air on your cheeks at Alum Chine Beach, just a short walk from the hotel. West of Bournemouth, Alum Chine beach is situated on a less populated plot of land, a proud owner of a blue flag award, backed by tropical gardens and loved by locals for its tidy shore and soft sand
📍Travel inland over the chine suspension bridge to Westbourne Village where you can browse to your heart’s content in its Victorian arcade. A walk down Robert Louis Stevenson Avenue will take you to the site of The Strange Case of Jekyll and Hyde author’s home, now a quiet public garden with a commemorative statue

  • The Transmitter Bunker

    • 3 nights Min Stay

    The Transmitter Bunker is, just as its name suggests, a former transmitter block that once served RAF Ringstead during World War Two. Part of the Chain Home Radar, a crucial early-warning system that stretched all the way from Cornwall to Norfolk, the bunker was decommissioned in 1956. These days, you’ll find it transformed into a fascinating heritage-rich retreat for up to four guests and their two well-behaved dogs. Secluded in Ringstead Bay, part of a designated Dorset Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the sea-and-country views from the bunker are as magnificent and far-reaching as you’d expect. Yet the views are also rather spectacular inside, with plenty of enthralling original features that feel like taking a step back in time. Ideal for history buffs, there’s a fascinating ‘museum’ cupboard and a photo-book that documents the bunker’s transformation. However, modern facilities are all present and correct, too! They include a Smart TV for snuggly evenings warmed by an open fire, and a well-equipped kitchen that comes complete with a dishwasher. Enjoy your home-cooked feasts cosied up in the bunker, fuelled by laughter and wine. On a balmy summer’s day you could choose to head out to the private, furnished patio instead, for a delicious supper devoured by sunset. Who knows which of the abundant local wildlife you’ll also spot? When it’s finally time to say goodnight, two comfy bedrooms – a deluxe twin and a quirky bunk-room – will be ready and waiting. There’s an elegant shower room to freshen up in, too.

For groceries visit Rise Market & Bakery where you can buy some wonderful local goodies and if you want to dine out you might like to try Soulshine cafe for breakfast, Three Horseshoes Inn for fine pub fayre and Rise or Brassica for something a bit more fancy.
