My wife, who has a knack of finding excellent places to stay, excelled herself with this choice. The owners, John & Chris, make you feel like you are old friends and are the hosts you dream about but seldom see. The accomodation is first class, the breaksfast is beyond anyones expectation. Personally I would have liked to stay a few... More

My husband and myself have just returned from a 3 night break at ' Bed and Breakfast by the Beach' what a truly fabulous experience from the moment we arrived we were made to feel extremely welcome by Chris & John .This is without doubt the best Bed & Breakfast we have stayed in and actually beats any 5* hotel...

I stayed here with my daughter for a couple of nights in a twin room at ‘Bed and Breakfast by the Beach’ and can honestly say it has to be the best B&B I’ve stayed in and defiantly beats the 4* hotels around. The room was tastefully decorated, with a large en-suite, flat screen TV, and Wi-Fi that actually works.... More

This was a really special experience. The b&b is spotlessly clean and beautifully decorated. Everything is thought about.. Homemade cakes, fluffy towels, bottles of water, really soft bedding and brilliant breakfast. We can't wait to go back.

But Southbourne is a gem, peaceful with a... More

The service was excellent and the room large and comfortable with some lovely touches - welcoming freshly baked shortbread, fresh flowers, even dressing gowns for the evening! Chris and John were very welcoming and helpful, even returning promptly the mobile phone charger I had left behind. Would definitely recommend, especially the smoothies to kick-start breakfast.

We only stayed here 1 night, but there is nothing I can fault. The house is absolutely spotless, never seen anything like it! The rooms are lovely with everything in it you could possibly need and the breakfast great. If ever we are in that area again, I would have no hesitation in staying there. Thank you both for all...

We stayed here for 2 nights and it was amazing! Our stay started perfectly when we were welcomed in with a big smile and a warm greeting. We were shown to our room which was amazing. These guys really know how to make a great room - everything you might need was there, and was really nice quality. Very comfy... More

We stayed here again for 2 nights and were very warmly received by the owners John and Chris. We had a wonderful stay, room was very nicely decorated and spotlessly clean. There were a very pretty vase of tulips on the shelf, nice touch. The breakfasts were absolutely superb, so much choice of everything, lovely array of fresh fruits, cereals,... More
