    Clean comfortable room, basic but didn't need for anything else. Breakfast was plentiful and cooked fresh. A very reasonable rate for a night in Bournemouth. Lena and Miles are great hosts, very friendly.

    I would definitely recommend staying here! Very attentive hosts. I asked for a gluten free breakfast and they were happy to oblige. Nice, comfortable room, with a view and the property is very close to the town centre and the beach
