Bournemouth is a quaint seaside town about a two-hour drive from London. It is a popular tourist destination all year round with its unique attractions and fun things to do but gets quite crowded in the summer. The town sits on seven miles of sandy beaches and one of the most popular spots is the pier. Here you will find an activity center that features a rock-climbing wall, zipline, and obstacle course. Due to the moderate climate, Bournemouth is also an ideal place to retire. They have one of the largest Jewish communities in the UK. At one time there were several kosher hotels, but today there are only two left. While visiting you will find five synagogues, a Jewish deli, and a kosher restaurant, The Garden. Check out the following list of the top kosher-friendly hotels in Bournemouth.
We handpicked these listings carefully, considering (wherever possible) recent guest reviews, location, accommodation type, prices, availability of dates, decor, and access to synagogues and Kosher food. The image galleries get refreshed with the latest updates regularly. They were last updated on October 26, 2024.
