This refurbished, non-smoking hotel is a short stroll away from the extensive sandy beaches, cliff top gardens and local bus service.



The pier, the shopping centre and Chine Gardens are within walking distance of the hotel which has a peaceful location within the Boscombe Manor area of Bournemouth.

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!
