8.6/10

The hotel is nestled in a quiet street not far from the sea in the Boscombe area. My room had a larger-than-average single bed that was incredibly comfortable, but there was hardly any space for chairs or writing. The service was exceptional, with the staff making tremendous efforts to ensure every aspect of my stay was enjoyable. I received excellent recommendations on how best to explore the area. The dining experience featured delightful homemade jams. Overall, the hotel offers good value for money with its great location close to the sea.

Our stay was enjoyable with clean and comfortable rooms but limited space for chairs or writing. The shared TV was a nice touch. The location is perfect, just off the seafront in a quiet street not far from the sea. The service was outstanding, and the staff went above and beyond to make our stay memorable.
