The whole property was very clean and beautifully decorated. The room was spacious, with big windows, comfortable bed, good water pressure in the shower. Toiletries provided, water, coffee, tea refilled every day. Although it was fully booked, it was quiet and couldn’t hear any disturbing noises from other guests. Also, the garden is just beautiful! The check in was very smooth and easy and was able to check in a bit earlier. The property is in a good location if you want to enjoy the beach and go for a walk in town as well. Everything is within short walking distance.

The room was spacious, the bathroom was very nice, the facilities given were of a very high quality, and the homeowner (Richard) was very welcoming. The kitchen had everything we needed to store and eat food, along with a nice dining room to eat at.

We arrived to a warm welcome and our room was gorgeous. Really stylish and a spacious bathroom with excellent shower. Lovely touch of a teapot with the kettle etc. It is a lovely Victorian building with spacious rooms. It was very relaxing and comfortable and there was good parking. It's a short walk down through Boscombe Chine and along the front to town. The bus also stops close by. We enjoyed the breakfast, excellent quality sausage and bacon etc beautifully cooked and presented and our waitress was friendly. Can't recommend it highly enough. This is one of the best places we've ever stayed, hands down. Thank you.
