"Out of the ordinary. Excellent staff. Spotlessly clean."

8.0

Location: close to Bournemouth Academy (250 metres). Spotlessly clean and tidy. Quirky. Staff were excellent as was the breakfast and coffee. Good value.

Parking limited and could be an issue, although we did not have any problems.

"Fantastic stay"

9.0

Unique rooms - exactly like the pictures. Great location shortly walk to Boscombe pier but also near town centre. Breakfast was fantastic too. Will be back 😄

If I have to be picky, towel rail in the bathroom made it very hot. But this is personal preference and not really a negative!

"Quirky place to stay if you want to to be left to your own devices"

7.0

Breakfast was delicious, would have been good to know that full breakfast was extra before hand. The room were decorated beautifully and loved the products in the bathroom

The bar closed very early, we were told between 8-9 and didn’t realise there would be no staff on premises once that closed. Would have been nice to be able to have a drink in the bar before heading to our rooms. Room was very hot and we didn’t find the air con controller until the next morning
