Company info

We bought The Westby in 2016 - returning back to hospitality after many years as YHA Managers. The previous owners had just completed a refurbishment of the property, with all bedrooms now en-suite too. We continued this refurbishment programme and offered more family accommodation, in 2 bedrooms. We have also introduced many green policies, such as using Ecotricity for our electricity and gas; Ecover & Bio friendly cleaning products, local LUSH showering products available if needed, recycled toilet paper, sourcing British food products, minimising packaging, energy efficient lighting, promotion of composting and recycling etc We are active, sporty people, enjoying the fantastic promenade alongside the beach from Hengistbury Head to Sandbanks - either cycling, running or walking it's 7 mile length. You can challenge me to a tennis match on the public courts round the corner, or ask about local surfing, SUP or cycle hire opportunities. We are here to make you get the most out of your stay.
