Steeped in literary history and coastal charm, The Hermitage Hotel is a wedding venue where romance feels woven into every corner. Standing on Bournemouth’s seafront, this four-star hotel blends heritage character with modern luxury.
Built in the 1860s as The Brookside, it was once home to poet John Keble and later featured in Thomas Hardy’s Tess of the d’Urbervilles. Bournemouth founder Peter Tuck also resided here. Renamed The Hermitage in 1928, the hotel has evolved gracefully while honouring its storied past. Today, under Oceana Hotels & Restaurants, it remains one of Bournemouth’s most elegant wedding destinations.
The Hermitage offers stunning views over Bournemouth Gardens, close to the pier and beach—perfect for wedding photography. Inside, refined interiors, newly refurbished guest rooms, and the award-winning Hardy’s Restaurant create a setting of timeless glamour, with modern British cuisine for memorable wedding breakfasts.
A dedicated Wedding Coordinator ensures every detail is planned and executed flawlessly, allowing couples to relax and enjoy their day. The hotel accommodates up to 70 guests for ceremonies, 70 for daytime receptions, and 160 for evening celebrations, with elegant, light-filled event rooms as a versatile backdrop. Seventy-six stylish guest rooms, many with sea views, allow friends and family to stay comfortably on-site.
For couples seeking history, romance, and refined coastal elegance, The Hermitage Hotel offers a wedding experience that is both timeless and unforgettable.
