“The Hop Inn strikes me as a classic Victorian pub stay, made better by its easy access to Bournemouth's beaches. I imagine the live music adds a lively backdrop, and the homemade pub fare is a solid, unpretentious option. For a no-frills visit close to the seafront action, it's a smart pick, especially if you're traveling with a pet.”
