On the West Cliff, next door to The Shore Retreat Hotel, moments from the beach and a short walk from the town centre. This is the hotel with the gym and the games room.
No separate ratingThis building has no public guest score of its own yet.
Our verdict
The Shore House Hotel is the Flexiestays building most guests visit even when they are not staying in it, because it is where the gym and the games room are. Both are free for every Flexiestays guest, whichever hotel they booked, and the gym is open 24 hours a day.
Who it suits
As a place to stay, it suits couples and solo travellers who want a simple room near the sea, and families of three who can share a family room with a double and a single bed. Guests who plan to use the gym every day have it downstairs. It sits on the West Cliff next door to The Shore Retreat Hotel; the two are run the same way, and the Retreat is the more recently renovated of the pair.
What guests praise
There is no separate public score for The Shore House Hotel, so this page shows none. What guests do write about is its facilities. Reviewers on this site mention the gym and the games room as part of what made their stay, and they are collected on the facilities reviews page. One long-stay guest valued having a gym in a building nearby through five winter months; the long-stay reviews and the guide to staying a month or more in Bournemouth cover that kind of stay. The wider Flexiestays praise for clean rooms, comfortable beds and a team that responds quickly applies here as it does everywhere. On a wet day with children, the games room is the first stop; see Bournemouth with children.
The honest caveats
These are rooms, not full apartments, and not every room has cooking facilities. Check the listing if you want to cook.
For a newly renovated room, or one with a balcony, the Retreat next door is the better choice.
There is no reception; you check in with a code and contact the team by phone or message.
Practical facts
Check-in is from 15:00 and check-out by 10:00, with the door code, your room and your parking bay in the arrival instructions. There is private parking on site. Most rooms do not take pets; the exact terms for your booking are shown at checkout, so ask the team before you book (see the pets policy). The beach is a few minutes away on foot, down the zig-zag paths or the West Cliff Lift, and the town centre is a short, mostly level walk. Guests at the other hotels are about five minutes away on foot.

Natali, who worked in the office, was so helpful, and quickly and thoroughly responded to all of our questions and requests. We were there for a month and they provided a mid-stay cleaning, which was unexpected and much appreciated. The location was great for us - just a quick walk to the beach, the bus stop, a small grocery store, and lots of restaurants, and we could easily walk to the city center which had a great open pedestrian space, stores, and restaurants. We were underwhelmed by the gym, which was very small, but nice to have, even so. We would stay there again.
Highly recommend, great location, rooms and people
We stayed at Flexiestays over the course of about 5 winter months. It has been an amazing experience. The rooms are nice, newly renovated, and have pretty much everything you need, and the staff is incredibly kind and helpful. Overall communication was good, usually pretty quick responses, and they were very willing provide if we needed something. It was nice to have access to a gym in the building nearby, and the beautiful location with literally a 1-minute walk to an stunning sea-view was unparalleled. Thank you Flexiestays for this huge blessing!

We needed a place to stay while waiting on our house purchase
We needed a place to stay while waiting on the final stage of our house purchase. Flexiestays was a brilliant option for us. 3 months at a very decent price, free off road parking, great location in the centre of town without feeling loud and we never had an issue with other guests. The team were always happy to help and the facilities were decent. We look back on our time with Flexiestays fondly.

Apartment looked exactly same as pictures. Good location, walkable to beaches and city centers. It doesn't have a great view, but that can already be seen from the pictures. All the amenities mentioned were available and had good guidance and clear instructions from the team

The gym and the games room are in this building, free for every Flexiestays guest, whichever hotel they are staying in. The gym is open 24 hours a day; guests from the other hotels are about five minutes away on foot.
The same apartments guests review above, booked on flexiestays.com: the direct-booking offers shown there, 25% to secure the dates, and the local team on hand 24/7.
