Introducing….. On the 24th of April 1812 the founder of Bournemouth, Captain Lewis Tregonwell, took up residence in his newly built mansion. In the early days friends were invited to visit to relax and use the beaches. This heralded the very beginnings of the great British seaside holiday. When the Marchioness of Exeter became the first tenant, the mansion house was renamed Exeter House and the road Exeter Road to commemorate her visit. The house was purchased by Henry Newlyn in 1876 who extended the mansion and it became known as Newlyn's Family Hotel. After numerous visits by the Royal Family it acquired its present title The Royal Exeter Hotel. Our bar and restaurant’s name is in recognition of the massive historical impact this building has had on the town over the past two centuries.
