A pleasant surprise!
This is my first time staying here, and I was pleasantly surprised. The pub has been tastefully decorated without losing any of its original charm: it is cosy, clean, and warm. The host couldn't have been more welcoming, and all staff were exceptional. The room was a pleasant surprise, big enough, nicely decorated and with all the items required for a good stay. Booked again for March!

Comfortable accommodation with everything you need for a short stay in Bournemouth. Fantastic staff who all took time to make sure myself (and my dog!) had a lovely stay. Great food & a lovely atmosphere in the bar. Looking forward to returning.
