Taking a Shearings self drive holiday to Bournemouth is a great way to visit the south coast and stay at a very popular seaside resort. The old spa town is littered with many stunning Victorian buildings and with the long pier and promenade, it’s an ideal getaway destination for many tourists. Being known for its Turkish and salt baths, as well as being peppered with pine trees, it’s a whole different world compared to many parts of the UK.

A Shearing self drive holiday to Bournemouth requires a drive through stunning countryside and along the fantastic coastline. As you arrive in the town centre, which is small enough to walk around, you can park your car easily. One of the best hotels in Bournemouth to stay is the Savoy Hotel. With its Edwardian exterior and stunning cliff-tip location, it’s a grand place to stay that exudes a truly regal quality that is as impressive from the outside as it is on the inside.

A large panoramic terrace overlooking the gardens, an outside terrace and an outdoor pool add an all-round appeal. It is just a few moments from the town centre as well as the seaside, which makes it the ideal place to relax and unwind during your Shearings self drive holiday to Bournemouth. The hotel has large rooms with en-suite bathrooms and stunning views of the Purbeck Hills. It is a prime example of what a traditionally British, seaside hotel should be.

Another hotel which is worth a look is the Majestic Hotel. During your Shearings self drive holiday to Bournemouth, the stunning East Cliff area is overlooked by this grand hotel and it’s located just a few moments from the gardens at Boscombe and lovely sandy beaches. There is an outdoor terrace, a snooker room and a swimming pool on-site. With beautiful parkland and gardens, it’s a tranquil place to stay yet when you want entertainment and a lively nightlife, the town is only a brisk walk away.

The whole of Bournemouth is jam-packed with things to do. From the Russel-Cotes Art Gallery and Museum to the Atrium Gallery and St Peter’s Church offering many cultural aspects, to the Bournemouth Oceanarium and the tethered balloon flights at the ‘Eye’, there is lots to do for thrill-seekers. The town is famous for its beautiful, warm summers and and lots of shopping opportunities. There are many high street outlets, boutique shops, quaint cafés, bars and restaurants to relax in, while the Castlepoint Shopping Centre offers some retail therapy.

A Shearings self drive holiday to Bournemouth allows visitors to see the most of the area and surrounding towns and villages. The stunning coastline is a must for explorers and the New Forest is only a half hour away from the town. The Corfe Castle, only 90 minutes away, is also a stunning sight to see and offers a fascinating look at what the south coast used to have to deal with.
