Lovely property in a great position for the Town, quay, transport and all amenities. Our room was lovely, and was a good size for a couple. It had a great view of the local church from our window and had everything we could need for our stay including a small fridge. The bed was fine and the lighting was particularly good, plus the room had a folder with every piece of information you could need about the Town and the local area. Jenny was friendly and very helpful and advised that if we needed anything we could just call her. Really lovely property and would definitely stay again.

    Superb Hosts - definitely going the "extra mile" all the time in so many ways. Exceptionally clean and well-appointed facilities with a wide choice of Breakfast options - all cooked to order and extremely well presented. This is an extremely good upmarket B & B and although not cheap, is still highly recommended. The situation is within a Trading Estate - slightly odd, but don't be put off, the access to Bournemouth, Poole and the Isle of Purbeck is easy and it's quiet at night.

    The location of the accomodation was great! Short walking distance from the city centre with bus stops just outside the accomodation. The room was also very clean and it included all essential things such as cutlery etc. Great host! I will definitely come back
