 Walk 400 yards to the Cliff promenade by the Pier and 150 yards down it to the beach!

Bournemouth has long been famous for its miles of clean, safe sandy beaches, marvellous shops, restaurants, cinemas, theatres and nightlife. At Wrenwood Hotel you are only 400 yards or less than 2 minutes' drive from the Sea   and on the golden sands. There are excellent facilities for golf, bowls, tennis, sea and river fishing, sailing, wind surfing, squash, badminton, ten-pin bowling and much more. We have indoor leisure pools, ice-skating, Splashdown at Tower Park, Christchurch Ski centre and indoor bowls at King’s Park, all within fifteen minutes’ drive and the Conference Centre offers a host of regular events. The area around Bournemouth offers a wide range of sight-seeing opportunities for our visitors, countryside pursuits as well as shopping facilities.

Bar:- We can quite legally serve alcoholic drink at most times. We have a choice of spirits, sherries, vermouths, ports, fine wines (by the bottle) or house wines (by the glass). For that special occasion (How about coming down for that Anniversary?) we have a selection of champagnes with a wide range of prices from £10 to £32. One of our specialities is mango juice made from Alfonso mangoes which is highly recommended as an alternative drink for those who order Asian curries. In the summer we have tables and chairs on the Sun-Terrace for serving food and drink.

 Sun terrace:-  On the Sun Terrace we provide Tables and Benches and that area is also licensed so on a pleasant summer's evening what better to partake of a glass of wine with the setting sun.

Breakfast:-  Wrenwood Hotel is now a no-smoking hotel so there is naturally no smoking allowed in the Dining Room. We serve a traditional, fully cooked English Breakfast, consisting of Fruit Juice, choice of Cereal, Bacon, Sausage, Fried Egg, Fried Bread, Mushrooms, Tomatoes (and Courgettes when in season) , followed by a selection of Jams and Marmalades with toast. There is a choice of different teas and coffees and other infusions  to complement your meal. Alternatively, we can supply a vegetarian or lighter breakfast such as poached eggs or scrambled eggs on toast, should you so desire. Please let us know your requirements either on arrival or on the previous evening. We do not cater for vegans.
 

Dinner:-  For our standard half board menu we offer a choice of two starters, followed by choice of two main courses followed by dessert. There is a selection of house wine available from the bar at £2.00 per glass or bottled wines from our wine list. A pot of tea or coffee is also available as an option at £1.50 per person.

Eating Out:- There are many excellent restaurants within easy reach of Wrenwood Hotel. If you wish, we can reserve tables for you at many of our favourite places in advance of your first day but at the height of the season good restaurants need to be booked several days in advance.

Information:- For Travellers from Europe and Ireland flying to Bournemouth, we now offer a pick-up and drop off  facility to Bournemouth International Airport which takes 15 minutes.

One set complimentary Tea & Coffee is provided in your Bedroom each day. 

Places to visit

Boscombe:-   Lying just to the East of Bournemouth (and now very much part of it) is Boscombe with its fine Clifftop Gardens and a Pier of its very own. The front is far less commercialised than that of Central Bournemouth and the sand on the beach is just as clean and as fine. Running the length of the Promenade is a little train powered by natural gas which runs right up to Alum Chine - very much a "hit" with the younger children.

Abbotsbury:-  is a quiet place of honey-coloured stone cottages, many thatched with reeds from the nearby Fleet Lagoon. Only scant remains of the mediaeval abbey remain with some mediaeval masonry in the walls of the village houses; but the chapel and tithe barn with its great, buttressed gable are impressive reminders of past glories. Abbotsbury is noted for its fine subtropical gardens and ancient swannery. 

Brownsea Island:-  is one of the few places where Red Squirrels still thrive protected in a tranquil and largely wild environment which offers many attractions to visitors. A public hide overlooks the lagoon, which provides views of the thousands of migrating ducks, geese and gulls that feed here in Spring and Autumn. On the south side of the island a commemorative stone records the holding of the first experimental boys’ camp here in 1907 under the instruction of Robert Baden-Powell, which led to the founding of the Scout movement.

These are just a few of many places around the area
