    The hotel is very well-located in the city centre. Bournemouth train station, however, isn’t, so in the absence of a car, the bus trips to the station took some time. Luckily, a bus station is just around the bend.

    It is very rare encountering such kindness and care when staying at a hotel nowadays. The Management’s support to make you feel comfortable, and for you to have a fruitful stay in the city, and its surroundings, was astounding. I was very happy with my double room. It was very clean, had a most comfortable bed (a blessing for my sore back), and a large fridge - things that matters to me. I also enjoyed the lovely city view. Further, there where plenty of restaurants nearby, as well as a supermarket (Tesco), and bus stops facilitating trips to the Jurassic Coast, and the train station.

    Accommodation was advertised as a a twin room on booking.com but on arrival landlady said she had no twin rooms. Breakfast could have been better.

    Location excellent. Fan provided in room. Landlady could not have been more helpful and welcoming. Room a good size and clean. Towels changed efficiently. Comfortable bed.

    Unfortunately they couldn't offer food on site due to covid and spacing in the dining area, but did offer an array of places nearby to get food and drink.

    The owner was very friendly and gave excellent advice on places to eat and things to do in the area. They always greated me warmly and had a pleasant smile.

    The en-suite bathroom was a bit small and we had to squeeze into the shower because the doors didn’t open very wide. The property was a bit further away from the beach / town than we expected, walking to them was ok as it was downhill but walking back up was sometimes challenging, depending on how much we had eaten ! The outside of the property didn’t look like the pictures on Booking.com and would probably benefit from a lick of paint ? The property was graded as 4* on Booking.com but it didn’t match with our expectations with what 4* accommodation should be. On that basis we felt the cost of staying here was too much compared with similar properties in the area

    The hosts were excellent and nothing was too much trouble for them. They made us feel very welcome. We booked the stay for my wife’s birthday and when Mary knew this she upgraded our room. They also helped us out with parking. The property wasn’t too far from the beach and Bournemouth shopping centre. The room was clean although there were a couple of light stains on the carpet but with it being a dark colour it was hardly noticeable. Having a fridge in the room was a plus and Mary provided fresh milk so we were able to make a nice morning tea / coffee. The TV in the room was larger than normal. The bed was spacious and comfortable. Overall the room was clean and comfortable with nice furnishings

    I booked it because I have special needs around eating and there was a kitchenette included. There was no utensils. Except for a plate, a bowl, a set spoon, an eating knife and fork the owner gave me after I asked. There was a stove but nothing to prepare any meals i e pans. There was a microwave. I saw no point in the stove. On the day of my departure I I felt that I was being ‘groomed’ into giving a good review in return for a discount off a future stay. According to the owner they look after the good guests not the bad guests that complain!

    It was close to the main shopping area, buses, beach and some of the attractions.

    We were happy with our stay.

    As others have said before, this place has a quirky charm. The owners John and Mary are really lovely, and couldn’t do enough to help us and we had many nice chats with them. We stayed in a family room and it is a great location being just over a 5 minute walk to the beach, and just a bit further to the pier and town. We really enjoyed our stay here and as we left our son asked John if we could stay there again.
