“The Shore in Bournemouth strikes me as a practical choice, especially for its proximity to the beach. Its efficient, digitally-managed service points to a modern approach, and on-site perks like the gym add value. While some may find the beds too firm or the parking tight, the location and well-maintained rooms are definite pluses.”
