How far is to the town centre?
You can walk to the town centre in about 15 minutes, or take a 5 minute taxi ride. The most scenic way to the town centre is to walk down to the pier (10 minutes along the cliff top) and then stroll through our beautiful Bournemouth gardens (take as long as you like!). There are many taxi ranks in Bournemouth so getting a taxi to the hotel with your shopping won’t be a problem. It is also possible to catch a bus in to town, its less than a 5 minute walk to the nearest bus stop. If you prefer to drive, there are plenty of town centre car parks. Please ask at reception for advice about getting around Bournemouth.
