Winter by the Sea: Cosy Coastal Breaks at Marsham Court Hotel
October 20, 2025IN BLOG POSTS BY MARSHAM COURT HOTEL
Many people imagine the British seaside as a summer destination. But at Marsham Court Hotel in Bournemouth, winter brings a different kind of charm. Brisk sea air, quiet promenades, and festive lights make the season one of the most rewarding times to visit the coast.
Whether you’re looking for a romantic escape, a family-friendly retreat, or simply a change of scenery, Marsham Court offers the perfect blend of comfort, inclusivity, and location. With sea-view rooms, festive dining, and Bournemouth’s winter attractions within easy reach, your coastal getaway promises to be both relaxing and memorable.
Why Winter Seaside Breaks Are Special
Winter by the sea is a chance to slow down. The beaches are peaceful, the clifftop walks uncrowded, and the town feels more intimate without the summer rush. Guests often tell us that these quieter months let them connect more deeply with the destination.
Imagine strolling along Bournemouth’s illuminated Christmas Tree Wonderland, sipping hot chocolate as the Lower Gardens sparkle with festive lights. Or browsing the Alpine Market at Christmas in Bournemouth, where stalls brim with gifts, treats, and seasonal food. Winter transforms the town into a coastal wonderland.
Sea-View Rooms for a Cosy Stay
After a refreshing walk along the promenade, retreat to the comfort of your room. Many of our bedrooms look directly out over the English Channel — a view that feels particularly dramatic in the winter months. Spacious layouts, blackout curtains, and flexible options for couples, families, or accessible stays ensure everyone can feel at home.
Festive Dining and Seasonal Menus
Dining is at the heart of winter at Marsham Court. Our chefs create warming seasonal dishes that bring people together, whether it’s a celebratory Christmas meal, a relaxed supper after sightseeing, or a leisurely Sunday roast.
Guests appreciate the mix of locally inspired cuisine and family-friendly options. Flexibility with mealtimes and dietary needs ensures that everyone, from toddlers to grandparents, can enjoy the experience without stress.
Accessible Hospitality All Year Round
Accessibility is never an afterthought here. Marsham Court is proud to be recognised for its inclusive design and facilities. Our adapted bedrooms include profiling beds, ceiling track hoists, roll-in wet rooms, and visual alarms, while communal areas are step-free and easy to navigate.
We also host a fully compliant Changing Places facility, widely reported as the first of its kind in a UK hotel — a feature that gives families and individuals with complex needs confidence to travel.
