THE LODGE AT MEYRICK PARK, Bournemouth

The Lodge at Meyrick Park provides complimentary access to the on-site Health and Fitness Club, which includes a 19-metre indoor swimming pool, a sauna, a steam room, and a hot tub. Guests can use the well-equipped gym with state-of-the-art Technogym equipment and join fitness classes such as yoga and Pilates at no extra charge. The property also has its own 18-hole championship golf course set in scenic Dorset countryside, with professional coaching available.

The hotel offers 17 en-suite rooms, each with a different configuration that adds character to the building. All rooms feature Hypnos mattresses, a TV, a hairdryer, and tea and coffee making facilities. Superior rooms provide views of the first tee and 18th green, and some rooms include a bath.

The Pulse Cafe Bar serves breakfast, light meals, and drinks, and offers a terrace that can be covered and heated when the weather changes. Breakfast is a continental buffet with hot food cooked to order from the menu, including tea or coffee served in a cafetiere. The bar also provides a range of light and healthy meals, with options for special dietary menus and wine or champagne.

The lodge sits in 120 acres of parkland with woodland and golf course views, yet is a 10-15 minute walk to Bournemouth town centre and seafront. The property is close to Bournemouth Pier, Lower Gardens, and Christchurch Castle. Despite the central location, the setting is secluded and quiet, with guests describing it as feeling like being in a forest.
