The Southbourne Villa    

we received a very warm welcome when we arrived, they were attentive without being over bearing.

the room was a little smaller than I had expected, but it didn't ruin the weekend.

We enjoyed the short stay very much. I do wish we had more time but it was abusiness trip and we had to get back. The host was friendly and helpful. I would definately go again and have already reccommending to my friends and relatives!

Warm and friendly, family-owned and run. Absolutely spotless and fresh everywhere. Great attention to detail, with every thought given - and demonstrated - to the comfort and ease of the guest in bed room. Particularly appreciated the beautiful en-suite facilities, quality of the beverage tray and the considerate mini-fridge containing fresh milk and two different bottles of quality water- although I had to switch it off overnight as I found it noisy for sleeping. I particularly appreciated the iron and board in bedroom cupboard, to press travel-creased clothes. Thoughtful quality everywhere. Abundant freshly prepared range of fresh fruit at breakfast time - pineapple, strawberries and blueberries - in addition to thoughtful array of cereals, yoghurts and full range of cooked breakfasts. Lovely dining room, beautifully presented everywhere. Helpful, friendly, generous and considerate hosts, of lovely accommodation. Would have really liked to stay longer, but moved on to stay with a friend. Would definitely recommend the Southborne Villa, subject to advice to check out the actual prices first.

On checking out, after one night's B&B, I was surprised to be asked by the owner how much I was paying! That immediately indicated possible price variation, which surprised me - but I said nothing as I presumed I am not up-to-date with the way things work. I answered "£70" as that was my online booking arrangement. It happened that later that day I met a lady who had arrived at Southbourne after I left. She was enthusing about the quality of the accommodation and what good value it was - and told me she was paying £50 per night. Why ? This variation of c.28%, and the fact that the owner asked me what I was paying made me unexpectedly feel at the business end of the stay, just as I was leaving with a rosy glow. So I arrived feeling like a guest and left feeling like a punter - and, after meeting the later guest, I definitely lost the rosy glow.

We both liked the hotel , it was a very nice place .

A real find! Spotlessly clean, beautifully decorated, lovely lounge, breakfast first class, run by a delightful and friendly couple

Extremely clean room with good facilities. The owner couldn't do enough to make us feel welcome and was very helpful in recommending activities and restaurants for us to visit.

Ecellent personalised service in a well appointed b+b

I did not get an invoice from the owner though he did promise to E.mail a copy

I had a wonderful stay.

The bedroom was extremly clean and very comfortable The breakfast was excellent and there was a lot to choose from, Myself and my husband would defiantly return there again and would recommend anyone looking for a nice quiet relaxing break with that little extra to go .

Nothing we liked everything about our stay pity we couldn't stay longer!

The owners were fantastic and hotel was spotless

I was greeted and cared for by a polite, welcoming and caring business owner who clearly put's his all into his work. The room was lovely and comfortable. Breakfast and wake up call were well received. Altogether brilliant package delivered by a pro. Thank you!

Understandably a little disappointed that the outdoor Hot Tub was off for the winter but expected upon booking with the cold weather and economic climate. I also recieved an enjoyable conversation about the Hot Tub from the owner over tea and buscuits upon arrival. I had also recieved an email answering my questions on my booking form with regards to the Hot Tub. Thank you.

very friendly staff, very comfortable, excellent food!
