Property details

Host an unforgettable event, then stroll to the beach and town center! Whether you’re with a large group seeking an idyllic beachside stay or planning a romantic wedding or corporate event, Tudor Grange mansion is the perfect venue. Once a historic hotel, it’s designed for large groups and events, featuring 12 bedrooms and bathrooms, spacious entertaining areas, vast gardens, and a fully equipped kitchen – plus a hot tub and swing set for extra fun. Previously Bournemouth’s most historic hotel, the immaculate Tudor Grange mansion boasts 12 bedrooms and 12 bathrooms on a sprawling estate set in secluded gardens on Bournemouth’s east cliff, making it ideal for large groups, weddings, and corporate events. With ornate ceilings, oak paneling, and large fireplaces throughout, it was immaculately designed in an authentic Tudor style. One of the classic long-established bed-and-breakfasts in Bournemouth, and a favorite of the Bournemouth Tourism industry, the Tudor Grange Hotel was built in 1927 using materials from an original Tudor mansion. Any new materials were made to full Tudor specifications, resulting in a truly unique historic home. ○ Sprawling private gardens ○ Classic Tudor-style estate ○ Former historic hotel ○ Walk to Bournemouth town centre ○ Walk to Bournemouth Beach ○ Corporate events and small weddings (60-100 people) allowed ○ Catering can be arranged ○ Marquee available for an additional cost ○ 12 bedrooms ○ 12 bathrooms ○ Dining for 24 ○ Multiple fireplaces ○ Outdoor Patio ○ Hot tub ○ Swingset ○ Parking for 10+ cars ○ Foosball ?????? ?????? ○ Multiple seating areas ○ Large flatscreen TV ○ Chandeliers ○ Fireplaces ○ Wood paneling ○ Plush furnishings ○ Ideal for relaxing and conversing with guests ○ Separate living space in the bungalow As soon as you enter the grand entrance hall, you will be greeted by an overwhelming sense of elegance.

The spacious main living room is warm and welcoming, with cozy wood paneling, intricate detail on the ceiling, and large windows bathing the space with natural light. The living area is divided into two seating areas – one with elegant sofas and armchairs anchored around a fireplace and large flatscreen TV, and the other with plush armchairs set around a table, perfect for card games or intimate conversation. ??????? & ?????? ○ Full kitchen ○ Light and bright ○ Two Stoves ○ Two Ovens ○ Perfect for behind-the-scenes event catering ○ Expansive dining room ○ Dining for 24 ○ Stunning, one-of-a-kind ceiling Tucked away from the entertaining spaces is an updated, fully-stocked kitchen, which is light and bright, with two cooktops, two ovens, two sinks, and all the small appliances one could need. When you’re hosting events at Tudor Grange, it’s easy for the catering to take place behind the scenes, just as it’s easy to enjoy cooking breakfast yourself on sunny mornings before the beach.

Around the side, a sunny patio is surrounded by trees for ultimate privacy, with a cushioned outdoor sectional and bubbling hot tub. There is even a swingset nestled in the trees, making the perfect shady place for children to play. If you’re planning a wedding or event at Tudor Grange, there is plenty of space for setting up a tent for 60-100 guests and ample parking for 10+ cars.

Set within secluded gardens on the east cliff of Bournemouth, Tudor Grange offers ample privacy on its sprawling grounds. At the same time, its location makes it easily accessible for guests visiting for weddings or corporate events, or for those who want to explore the area. In fact, it’s just a three-minute drive from the train station. Tudor Grange is close to Bournemouth town centre – less than half a mile – where you’ll find pedestrian streets boasting independent shops, department stores, Victorian arcades, restaurants, bars, coffee shops, and more. You can easily stroll to town in 5-10 minutes. Best of all? It’s just a two-minute walk from beautiful Bournemouth Beach, just one spot along Bournemouth’s seven miles of award-winning beaches.

Enjoy tasty food, stroll along the pier with an ice cream cone, or build sandcastles on the beach. From Tudor Grange, it’s also easy to visit world-famous and iconic sites such as: ○ Isle of Purbeck ○ Swanage ○ Jurassic Coast ○ New Forest National Park ○ Salisbury Cathedral ○ Stonehenge There is simply so much to discover in and around Bournemouth.

We hope you love the historical detail as much as we do. • Please note that the small cottage located on the premises is not included in the listing, and occasionally, the caretaker or owner may need to access it. Rest assured, we are committed to respecting your privacy and will ensure minimal disruption during your stay. • Bear in mind that the kitchen in this property measures approximately 9 square meters. If you are planning to hire a chef or cook extensively during your stay, we recommend planning accordingly with the limited kitchen space available.

This is an incredible place to stay. It has all the benefits of a hotel (en-suites, catering kitchen, huge dining and living room) but the comfort of a luxurious family home. We booked to spend Christmas at this property and it did not disappoint. We’ve made beautiful life long memories. The host has thought of everything, is responsive and was a joy to deal with. I recommend this accommodation if you have a large group and wish to have a hassle free luxury break.

Our group was actually just too big for the house, but due to the flexibility and cooperation of the host, we were able to have a nice reunion. Location beautifully central in Bournemouth with beach and facilities around the corner. The house met all expectations, although the kitchen is very small for the number of guests who can stay there. It was super neatly maintained, comfortable beds and lots of space in and around the house. Top!

Fantastic place to stay! Comfortably slept in 15 for a weekend, with 2 bedrooms spare! The house is fantastic and within walking distance of everything in Bournemouth, although quite a few of our group didn’t bother leaving the house! 😄

A fantastic stay at the Tudor Mansion and a highlight of our weekend in Bournemouth. As commented throughout our group, the accommodation itself was very impressive - Rooms are immaculate with added bonus of ensuite in every room. The communal spaces both indoors and out were perfect for everyone to socialise. Perfectly located for a 10-15min stroll to the beach or nearby town. Following our 3 hr drive, convenience of onsite parking was excellent. Would like share a big thank you to Sophie, who is always available to support and super quick to respond. Cannot recommend a stay at Tudor mansion enough. Wish we could’ve stayed longer and look forward to returning in future.
