I liked the tranquillity of the place, as well as its proximity to a beach area where I like to walk when I come to Bournemouth. I usually come every year to attend the We Out Here Festival, which takes place in Bournemouth, and I like to spend a few days in the city before the festival and, if possible, a few days after. The area where the hotel is located is perfect for relaxing and spending those days.

Unfortunately, this year I couldn't stay in Bournemouth after the festival. If I had been able to, I would definitely have stayed at the hotel for a couple more days.

Thanks to Karl for making our stay so comfortable. It was truly a home away from home. Loved your cosy kitchen and zen garden with beautiful fish. The room we stayed on had a shared bathroom but there was never a time I needed it and it wasn't free. Room equipped with lots of fresh towels, water, toiletries, tea, coffee and milk. Ironing facility available. We brought in a Chinese takeaway one night and finished eating in the dining room past 11 after which Karl patiently cleaned up after us. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Nothing

Everything! This hotel was lovely to me in almost every single aspect. Although the bathroom was shared the room had a sink and mirror so it was so useful for taking my time doing my skincare without the fear of other people wanting to use the bathroom! Breakfast, what a lovely breakfast as well, with a variety of cheese, marmalade and cereals to choose. Next to the breakfast room there's the garden door in which you can find a little pond with some koi fish. Carl, our host, was very nice too :) If I come back to Bournemouth I wouldn't hesitate to stay there again. PS If you find a Polaroid picture in a drawner, is mine, accidentally left it there.

Everything was really brilliant. It felt like coming home from the first minute. We had a lovely and clean room with two single beds, TV, coffee and tea making facilities and washbasin. It's been so quiet at night although the centre of Boscombe and the seafront are just a few minutes to walk away. All the rooms have shared bathrooms and it worked perfectly well, because on every floor are enough bathrooms with shower or bathtub for everybody. For breakfast there was a huge selection of so many delicious cereals (even gluten free), fresh fruits, yoghurts, nutella, toast, marmelade, honey, cheese, juice, nearly every tea you're looking for and coffee ... I surely forgot something. ;-) The next bus stop and some shops, supermarkets are just 5min away. So all in all it's been the best accomodation I've ever had in Bournemouth/Boscombe ... THANK YOU KARL (or maybe Carl?)! ♥

We were immediately met with a friendly face upon check in who was really helpful in giving us all the info we needed. Room was bigger than expected, beds were extremely comfortable and we slept amazingly. Bathrooms were generous in size for a small hotel and very clean and comfy. Overall a great nights stay. Close to local high street too which was very helpful.

Further from the main Bournemouth town than anticipated but that was our fault.

Lovely friendly run Victorian property, lovely garden area, no frills shared bathrooms but very clean and everything you need. We appreciate appreciated the kitchen area so we didn’t spend too much on eating out. Our family room was spacious enough and had a sink and tea and coffee facilities. The manager was extremely helpful and very friendly.

There wasn’t much to not like.

The location was amazing! Super easy to access, parking was a nice as we didn’t have to pay for parking! The quadruple bedroom was much bigger than we were expecting and the host was really friendly, kind and gave us loads of advice. The shared toilet was no issue as it was super clean and close to the rooms. It was very cosy and would definitely recommend. Will be coming back!

Cannot complain. Went to Bournemouth for the day and decided to stay overnight. Room was good and even if you had to share a showeroom there was a shared kitchen for guests. So there were decent facilities. The room was clean and tidy.

I have no dislikes. The breakfast was fine. If you wish to have a full English breakfast as part of your board, then sadly this not for you. I prefer guest houses that provide it as an option or not at all.

Clean rooms, the host was very kind and polite.

The rooms were a bit musty, our room smelt like sweat. The windows do not open very wide only a crack. So we did our best to air out the room. Although they offer free tea and basic essentials our tea kettle was filthy. But everything else was nice.

Carl the manager was very friendly and helpful. Room clean, comfortable and simple for two friends stopping the night cycling through to Southampton from Bristol. Our bikes were locked away securely. Close to High St.

Shower toilet was adjacent but not en suite - we knew that and it was fine. Nearby high street was very quiet in the evening so eating choices were limited - we did find a good Italian
