The Orchid Hotel, Dorset

• Home-away-from-home: Once an Edwardian villa, The Orchid Hotel is a cosy mix of modern comforts and traditional Edwardian charm. With refurbished interiors, visitors can expect a sleek and elegant abode. Contemporary luxuries and stylish furnishings will make you feel right at home; whilst high ceilings, beautiful bay windows and stunning period features will subtly remind you of the grand building that the hotel once was.
  
  

• Seaside sanctuary: You’ll be in a fabulous location for discovering all that buzzing Bournemouth has to offer with this seaside stay. Just a 15-minute walk from the pier, beach and lively town centre, all exciting activities will only be a sandy stone’s throw away. Think morning beach walks, Oceanarium afternoons, cosy coffee shops (or pubs!), and fish-and-chip-dinner days.
  
  

• Traditional pub fare: The Orchid’s 34 Restaurant offers a GastroPub menu that will tickle all taste buds. From a hearty fry up in the morning to a mouth-watering burger in the evening, this delicious restaurant will ensure all appetites are satisfied after an exhilarating day of seaside excitement. Opt for a traditional Afternoon Tea if you’re feeling particularly sophisticated and tuck into a tasty toasted teacake whilst you dust the day off your shoes.
