The Cumberland Hotel

8.0
Very Good See all 15 reviews

Perched on Bournemouth's East Cliff, The Cumberland sits right where you want to be for a South coast golf break. Many rooms look straight out to sea and a select few come with private balconies, ideal for a quiet coffee before your tee time or a drink while the sun drops over the bay. The beach is a short walk away and you're close enough to dip into town for dinner or a post-round pint without feeling stuck in the middle of it.

Inside, it's a proper art deco landmark with real character. The standout is the grand ballroom with its central dome, a reminder this is one of Bournemouth's classic hotels rather than a cookie-cutter chain. For a UK golf break, it's a great base when you want more than just somewhere to sleep between rounds.

Who is this for?
Golfers who want a classic Bournemouth base with sea views, easy access to top local courses and facilities that keep the non-golfers happy.

Who is it best for?
Weekend groups and societies who value location and atmosphere, plus couples looking to pair golf with the beach and Bournemouth's bars and restaurants.

Accommodation at The Cumberland Hotel

All 106 bedrooms keep a traditional look that suits the building's art deco feel, but you still get the modern basics you need after a long day on the course. Rooms are comfortable and practical for a golf stay, with en-suites, tea and coffee facilities and enough space to unpack for a few nights rather than living out of your bag.

If you can, request a sea-view room. The outlook is the selling point here and balcony rooms are the standout if you fancy a bit of fresh air without heading down to the promenade. Inland-facing rooms are a solid option for value, especially for groups who plan to spend most of their time out on the courses or in town.

Facilities are a real plus for a Bournemouth base. In summer, guests can use one of Bournemouth's largest outdoor pools, heated during the warmer months and great for easing off after 18 or 36 holes. You've also got access to the neighbouring Suncliff indoor leisure centre with an indoor pool, hot tub, sauna, gym and tournament-standard squash courts, handy if the weather turns or you've got non-golfers in the group.

Food and drink is centred around the Mirabelle Restaurant, set in an oak-panelled dining room with a bit of old-school glamour. The menu changes regularly but the standard is consistently high, and it's a good shout for a smarter evening meal. For something more relaxed, the Del Mar Lounge is ideal for a cocktail or a nightcap and when the sun's out the poolside Lido Deck is made for an easy lunch between rounds.

The hotel is a strong choice for a Bournemouth golf break because you can build a proper rota of courses without long daily drives. You'll find a mix of heathland tests, classic members' clubs and parkland options, which makes it easy to suit the whole group, from single-figure players to higher handicaps who still want a fair challenge.

Mix those with a couple of more forgiving rounds at Bournemouth's parkland courses and you've got a great two or three-night itinerary that keeps everyone happy. The area also offers coastal-influenced layouts if you want variety in the playing style, and most courses are within a 15 to 30-minute drive, so you're not spending half the day in the car.

If you're the organiser, the big win is convenience. You can stay by the sea, head out to quality courses during the day, then come back to facilities that work for groups, including pools, gym access and plenty of space for a relaxed evening. It's a straightforward, reliable base for golfers who want Bournemouth's best golf on tap, plus the beach and town within walking distance. If you're juggling a group chat and chasing deposits, we can package the hotel with tee times so you can just turn up and play.

We are now regulars at the Cumberland - a very nice quality traditional seaside hotel with good facilities, lovely attentive staff, and great breakfast buffet. Location very convenient. Parking limited but can use sister hotels or paid parking on road out front.

6.0

The staff were very nice and the breakfasts were fine but you need to book your time prior to arrival or you may end up with only 7.30 or 9.30 available. Parking is a problem although you have access to 3 car parks. There is no aircon which may not normally be a problem but is in a heatwave. The walls are very thin, we could hear next doors TV at 6am quite clearly.
