Lovely host, very welcoming even though we checked in late due to traffic. We parked easily outside the hotel. Fantastic cooked breakfast, good quality. Nice and quiet.

Karen United Kingdom

Friendly host (it's a small owner-managed hotel), it's clean, organized, cozy and great location near the beach.

Mohamed United States of America

I had the loveliest warm welcome when I arrived at 8.30pm, its always nice when you are expected. The room was large, comfortable and clean and the bed was really nice to sleep in. The B&B was quiet and I got a really good night's sleep. In the morning there was a substantial breakfast available, with cereal, fruit, yoghurts and pastries and also a cooked option. I am vegetarian and was catered for, which is always a relief. Really reasonable priced considering breakfast was included in the price of my stay. Would definitely visit again, thank you so much!

  • Dear Ms. Sue, It'll be my first time in Bournemouth, (going to work as live-in carer the next day after my stay). How much would a taxi cost (approx.) from your lovely place to BH1 3DS? I wouldn't mind walking, but I have a big suitecase and it is probably going to rain. :-) Thank you Katalin
    Hello Katalin. I think the taxi fare should be between £5 -£6. I can check for you in the morning to be exact. Kind regards Sue Baker. The Kingsley Hotel
