Hamilton Hall

Hamilton Hall is a men-only clothing optional guesthouse in Bournemouth, owned by John Bellamy since 30 July 2000.

"Hamilton Hall is NOT your bog-standard B&B! This place is a retreat (and a treat) for gay men only. Clothing is optional. Atmosphere is nurturing, relaxed, friendly and informal. Rooms are extremely comfortable and beautifully presented.[1]

In 2010 Hamilton Hall featured in the Three in a Bed series on Channel 4.[2]

In 2011 the guesthouse was investigated under equalities legislation because of its "gay men only" policy,[3] but was cleared by the EHRC.

"So in 2011 we were contacted by the Equality & Human Rights Commission ... we were sent a very nice letter stating we could remain as a MEN ONLY VENUE, all legal and correct.[4]
