Happy New Year to all from Christine at Newpoint Hotel, Southbourne, Bournemouth, Dorset

Well here we are in 2009, safe and sound and still offering great discounts and cheap budget hotel accommodation for visitors to Southbourne and Bournemouth.

It is truly wonderful that Newpoint Hotel seems to have so many friends out there in the UK and abroad who continue to keep us busy, despite all the problems there are with the credit crunch and recessionary forces in the British economy and worldwide.

So I would like to extend a warm thank-you to all Newpoint Hotel’s past customers and wish you the happiest and most prosperous New Year that can be achieved in these difficult times.

To all those visitors looking for hotel accommodation in Bournemouth, Poole, Christchurch, Boscombe or nearby locations who haven’t yet tried our clean, comfortable and friendly accommodation, I look forward to extending a warm Newpoint Hotel welcome to you in 2009. We are minutes from Southbourne Overcliff and beaches and most of our single rooms, double rooms and family rooms are en-suite.

Following the popularity of our December budget discount hotel price offers, for January 2009, we are continuing to offer room only hotel accommodation from only £15 per person per night (see Newpoint Hotel prices page for more details). Call me for further special weekend hotel budget discount offers on (01202 425047).

What is my New Year’s resolution? To provide the best special budget hotel discount offer accommodation in Bournemouth that is also clean and comfortable and delivered with a friendly smile :-)

Bye for now

December and Christmas hotel deals at Newpoint Hotel B & B, Southbourne, Bournemouth for family get-togethers

Posted on November 17, 2008 by newpointhotel

christmasdecorations1November’s Newpoint Hotel deals were so successful  with loads of people taking advantage of our special offers and cheap hotel rooms that I’ve decided to extend them into December 2008.

This means that December 2008 room only accommodation will continue as cheap as £15 per person per night.

Woohoo! It gives me a lovely Christmasy feeling to think I’m helping all those people out in these awful Credit Crunch times :-)

Christmas is a time to get together with friends, especially family and I love it. Do you?

Chatting to our visitors in November, it seems like Christmas family get togethers have started early this year. Perhaps, in difficult times, family and seeing relatives becomes more important.

So, if you are thinking of coming to see your family or relatives in Bournemouth, Southbourne, Christchurch or surrounding areas in December, I hope you will consider staying at Newpoint Hotel.

All our rooms are clean and comfortable and most have en-suites.

Free coffee and tea making facilities are available in bedrooms with Freeview television. There is a hair dryer, a fan and free Wi-Fi Internet access.

Bedroom only hotel deals are available at extremely cheap discount hotel rates. However, if you would like to have breakfast, our full English breakfast is very tasty with hunger satisfying ample portions and, for those with religious or personal preferences or on a special diet for health reasons, we also offer a vegetarian breakfast. (Simply ask for a vegetarian breakfast when you book).

The best way to take advantage of special offers and get our best hotel deals is to call me, Christine, on (01202) 425047. If I am not available, please leave a message and I will get back to you. Alternatively, visit Newpoint Hotel Contact page for other ways to contact me.

Merry Christmas :-)

Saucy Seaside Postcard Russell-Cotes Art Gallery & Museum visitors welcome at Newpoint Hotel October to February 2009

Posted on October 31, 2008 by newpointhotel
Sketched by my clever daughter

Sketched by my clever daughter

If you are thinking of visiting Bournemouth between 24th October 2008 to 1st February 2009 and you like art, museums or would like to explore something a bit different, consider visiting The Russell-Cotes Art Gallery & Museum where there is a cheeky new exhibition about ‘the secrets of the saucy seaside postcard’.

The Russell-Cotes Art Gallery & Museum, Bournemouth, UK, is a wonderfully individual museum. It has art galleries and a museum, a licensed café, a shop and a children’s area. With opportunities to learn, explore or socialise, it caters for a wide variety of tastes and admission is FREE.

The dramatic cliff top where it is located over-looks seven miles of award-winning beaches in one of the last Victorian villas in Bournemouth.

Cheeky postcards! They are a bit of fun and so much part of the history of English seaside resorts with huge nostalgia value.

Hopefully, while you are visiting the Russell-Cotes Art Gallery & Museum, you will consider staying at Newpoint Hotel. We are a small family run hotel providing cheap budget room only accommodation and bed and breakfast that believes in clean and comfortable rooms and good old fashioned friendliness and service to our visitors. (Unfortunately, you won’t see the picture top right at the exhibition as it was sketched by my clever daughter.)

We have single bedrooms with or without en suites, twin bedrooms with en suites, double bedrooms with en suites and family bedrooms with en suites. Tea and coffee making facilities are in each bedroom as is television and free Wi-Fi Internet connection.

So, if you are looking at what’s on in late November, December 2008 or January 2009, why not treat yourself and take advantage of our midweek or weekend discount breaks at Newpoint Hotel. With room only singles from £15 per person per night, it’s not a big decision :-)

Call me to check out my latest deals and availability on (01202) 425047 or visit Newpoint Hotel contact page.

Bye for now

Bournemouth Folk Club and Christchurch Folk Club visitors welcome at Newpoint Hotel room only and B & B guest house accommodation

Posted on October 29, 2008 by newpointhotel
Folk singers, musicians and devotees welcome at Newpoint Hotel

Folk singers, musicians and devotees welcome at Newpoint Hotel

There is something amazing about folk music. I love the driving rhythms of Irish folk music, the cheerful tum-te-tum of traditional English dance music and the lyricism of acoustic accompanied modern folk songs.

Locally, we are very fortunate to have the Bournemouth Folk Club which is at the Pig and Whistle pub, Queens Road, Bournemouth and has great acts like Flook, winners of Best Group at the BBC Folk Awards 2006.

If you are looking for a traditional joining in folk music session, check out the Christchurch Folk Music Sessions where I’ve heard they are always very friendly and welcoming to visitors.

Folk music apart, there is a huge amount of other music going on in and around Dorset and you should easily be able to find something you enjoy in the Bournemouth and Poole area.

So, if you are staying in Bournemouth to visit the local folk music sessions or folk clubs as a performer or as a listener, or visiting to enjoy other musical performances, remember you will always be welcome at Newpoint Hotel. We have a wide range of rooms to suite all with single bedrooms with or without en-suites, twin bedrooms with ensuites, double bedrooms with ensuites and family bedrooms with ensuites.

All bedrooms have television, tea and coffee facilities. Room only accommodation, where we can offer very big discounts, is particularly welcomed in Winter months or alternatively B & B (vegetarian catered for).

We are minutes from Southbourne Overcliff and Southbourne beaches (at the end of the road) and Hengistbury Head with its views, wild life and historical attractions (not to mention the golf facilities) is a short drive away.

Our accommodation is clean and comfortable with very competitive room only accommodation discounts for mid-week breaks and weekend breaks.

To identify our best deals, check out our Prices page, telephone me, Christine, on (01202) 425047 or fill in the Newpoint Hotel contact form and I will work hard to give you the best deal in town :-)

I look forward to hearing from you!

Writers Writing Retreats in November at discount room only weekend break getaway prices and a friendly welcome at Newpoint Hotel

Posted on October 28, 2008 by newpointhotel

My brother-in-law often pops down for his own personal writing retreat at Newpoint Hotel. He says it enables him to get away from his family to concentrate on his writing and being somewhere different can also stimulate his creative writing juices.

So it occurred to me that there may be other writers out there, individuals or in small groups, who may also like to do the same and spend a weekend at Newpoint Hotel in Southbourne, Bournemouth getting away from their usual routine to have some quiet time to really concentrate on their writing.

When Rob comes down to spend a few days on his writing, he likes to walk on the beaches and visit Hengistbury Head which has a quiet beauty in the Autumn and Winter. He says it’s the ideal way to relax after writing hard for a few hours.

For those who would like to check out the bright lights, there are all the usual tempting Bournemouth Winter entertainments and shops, of course.

Rob tells me that writers are almost always struggling for cash, and bearing in mind this horrible credit crunch, I have set a special discount offer for writers weekend writing retreats with bargain discount room only rates per night for November 2008 at £16 singles with en-suite, £25 doubles with en-suite (including family rooms with en-suite and up to two occupants) to see how it goes. My two single bedrooms that share a bathroom, I am willing to offer for £15 per night.

All rooms have free Wi-Fi, so you can use the Internet for research, tea and coffee making facilities, a hair drier and television with Freeview.

Writers are also welcome to use  the dining room for their writing if they would like a break from their rooms.

Dining room available for writing when not in use for meals

Dining room available for writing when not in use for meals

Why not get together with some of your writing circle friends and have a cheap weekend group getaway? Telephone me to talk about group numbers and I will do what I can to arrange you a group discount rate.

Well that’s it for today! I quite like the idea of having a hotel full of writers. Perhaps you all can give me some tips on how to write this blog :-)

Bye for now

History, Hengistbury Head and dreaming about Dorset in the Stone Age

Posted on October 3, 2008 by newpointhotel
Hengistbury Head storyboards

Hengistbury Head storyboards

Do you like history? I do! Not the history that we used to learn at school which was all about Kings and Queens and wars but history that tells a story about the way things really were for ordinary people in bye-gone times.

I particularly like the story boards that have been put up by Bournemouth Council at Hengistbury Head which is a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) just a bit down the coast from Newpoint Hotel bed and breakfast.

The story boards tell us about the wildlife on Hengistbury Head, including Galloway Cattle, the woodmouse, the skylark and the meadow pipit, but they also tell us about how people lived and hunted on Hengisbury Head and Warren Point between 12,500 years ago and 4,000 years ago during the Stone Age which is really fascinating.

I wonder if there were bed and breakfast hotels in the Dorset Stone Age, or at least the equivalent? I’m sure that people must have given shelter to weary travellers in their caves or mud huts from time to time.

Mind you, I might draw the line at nipping out on a cold morning to club a wild pig to make the full English breakfasts.

Of course, I suppose England didn’t really exist in those days. It was just a place somewhere out there, perhaps told about by travellers in stories around the camp fires.

Well, all this is very philosophical and the telephone is ringing, hopefully with people wanting to take advantage of my incredible November bed and breakfast hotel deals and perhaps to visit Hengistbury Head and imagine what it was like all those years ago for themselves.

Budget cider wine-making, the credit crunch and November cheap discount hotel deals and offers

Posted on October 2, 2008 by newpointhotel
Windfall apples could be good for making cider!

Windfall apples could be good for making cider!

Everybody I know is offering me home grown produce. What is it about me? Do I look emaciated and underfed? Everything from apples through to courgettes and the occasional marrow has been kindly offered and it seems so rude to refuse!

Of course, I  and my husband are both vegetarians (although I provide a scrumptious full English breakfast at my B & B) which could explain some of their eagerness.

So I got to thinking how I can turn this problem into an opportunity and came up with wine-making! This seemed a really exciting prospect and I had visions of everything from apple cider through to elderberry wine produced  by the bucketful.

Then the six o’clock News came on the television with loads of scary stories about the credit crunch and how we are heading for a horribly deep recession. Quite honestly, I was practically suicidal after they’d finished presenting their doom and gloom scenarios.

Gorse and moorland flowers! Gorse flower wine anybody?

Gorse and moorland flowers! Gorse flower wine anybody?

So I decided to do a bit of research on the web to find out what local wines were made  in the Bournemouth and Dorset area and discovered that wine can be made from gorse flowers. Well I love the sight of gorse flowers. They look so beautiful like a rich golden yellow carpet in local beauty spots like Hengistbury Head but picking the flowers might take rather a long time and gorse can be very prickly.

Of course, once the wine is made, it could be so intoxicating that everybody would completely forget about the credit crunch – which might be a very good idea.

However, it was then that I spotted a flaw in all these exciting thoughts and plans. Not only are my husband and I vegetarian but we are also virtually teetotal.

It isn’t that we are particularly against alcohol, although it does seem to cause a lot of problems with people’s health and lives, but we don’t really enjoy drinking wine, spirits and alcohol in general. (We don’t even have an alcohol license at Newpoint Hotel.) So it seems likely that a surplus of home garden produce would simply be exchanged for a surplus of home brewed alcoholic beverages. Suddenly, the wine making idea seemed far less appealing.

However, I’ve often noticed that I seem to cheer myself up when I’m cheering up other people so, never daunted, I came up with an idea to beat huge buckets of depression created by the credit crunch which doesn’t involve getting blotto and destroying our lives.

Starting November, Newpoint Hotel will be launching the juiciest ever cheap discount hotel deals and offers for this credit crunch Winter and that’s a promise!

If you are looking for a job in Bournemouth and need accomodation for a few nights, my hotel deals will be the most competitive ever!

If  you are searching for a cheap hotel for a weekend break, my hotel offers will put a smile on your face!

If you are looking for a discount hotel or a budget hotel with really cheap hotel rooms, Newpoint Hotel bed and breakfast is where you should be.

All this and the full English or vegetarian breakfasts will still be scrumptious and the hotel room accommodation will still be as clean and comfortable as ever.

Just give me a call on (01202) 425047. Sometimes I’m not able to take your call immediately so leave a message and I will get right back to you. Alternatively, email me through Newpoint Hotel bed and breakfast contact form and I will email or telephone you back, as you wish.

Ha! I feel better already!

I look forward to hearing from you :-)

Bournemouth University Graduation Week and Graduation Ball attendees welcome at Newpoint Hotel bed and breakfast (B & B)

Posted on October 1, 2008 by newpointhotel
Mortarboard graduation hat

Mortarboard graduation hat

I just noticed that Bournemouth University is having its Graduation Ball at the Bournemouth International Centre (B.I.C.) in early November 2008 at the end of Bournemouth University Graduation Week.

What a wonderful feeling of achievement all these youngsters must have and it’s great that so many now have the opportunity of a University education.

Of course, getting to University is only the first step and I know how hard my daughter worked  to get her degree.

So well done all you graduates of Bournemouth University and good luck with what I’m sure will be a glowing future for you all.

I wonder how many of the graduates are mature students? There seem to be more and more people  going back to University to take first or second degrees – some even into retirement age.

Perhaps I should consider going to University as a mature student! I wonder whether I could learn how to make even more scrumptious breakfasts or how to make Newpoint Hotel even more spotless. Somehow I doubt it. I think it’s only in the adverts that you can get cleaner than clean!

Maybe the biggest reason that I couldn’t cope  with going to University as a mature student is all that partying! Imagine, being up to all hours and consuming vast quantities of alcohol on top of all that studying!

On reflection, I’d best stick to what I know. However, if any of the graduands or their relatives who are attending Bournemouth University Graduation Week, or the graduates who will be attending the Graduation Ball need accommodation during that week, with or without breakfast, they will receive a warm welcome at Newpoint Hotel in Southbourne, Bournemouth.
