"Perfect cottage and homely feeling!"

10.0

Absolutely adored our stay here! Extremely warm welcome - the host was so lovely and had great knowledge and recommendations on Christchurch. Honestly felt like a home away from home, cosy room, and a nice home made breakfast! Such a beautiful place to stay

Sehr persönliches B&B. Chet und Steve waren überaus nette und hilfsbereite Gastgeber mit guten Tipps und immer für ein Gespräch offen

Da gibt es nichts zu beanstanden.

"A pleasant B&B, which we wold be very happy to stay in again. Helpful and welcoming hosts."

10.0

The hosts could not have been more welcoming and helpful - thank you again. The cottage is comfortable and appropriately equipped for a small B&B (we didn't expect or want hotel facilities). Breakfast is taken with other guests around a shared table, which makes for a convivial experience, and the food choice is good. There's a shared kitchen area if you want to prepare your own drinks or snacks but don't expect to cook a significant meal - there are plenty of eat-out options though.

We had no concerns or complaints. It's a long-ish walk to the city centre, which was OK for us but won't suit everyone. The hosts tell us that there are good bus services if you need them.
