We had a family Sunday brunch here this weekend and we felt we must leave a fabulous review. The staff were delightful, the food truly scrumptious and the room welcoming and trendy! They had a particularly lovely tea "London Fog" and the brownies were delicious. Thank you. x

We have just returned from a three night stay at In our living room and we had a fantastic time. The B&B is situated within perfect walking distance from the beach, central Bournemouth and the piers. The breakfast menu has something for everyone and the service each morning was excellent. We booked room 3, which was the superior double and... More

Stayed for Bank Holiday weekend, good location near 2 great beaches and some really good restaurants. Great welcome from Andy and everyone friendly & helpful. Good breakfast, traditional but with a twist. Highly recommend.

We only stayed in Our Living Room for two nights in late March ... not enough time to get to know the owner Andy and his team but we were so very happy to be there. My grandfather has lived in Westbourne for 30 years and I know the area well. I am recommending this place to my whole family... More

We stayed for only one night on a brief trip to the area, but were made to feel very welcome by Andy who opened the door to us and made us a well needed pot of tea. The interior of the sitting / dining room is very tasteful and different to many dated B & Bs that you find. Our... More

My husband and I were in this hotel during the Easter holidays (4 days) and we were very happy for choosing this B&B. Everybody is very friendly, the space is nice and warm, the bed is comfortable and the breakfast is yummy. The hot breakfast is cooked after you order, so expect to spend a while waiting, but it's worth... More

This review is for the restaurant not the B&B This is a great place. Quirky and with real charm, the character of the owner really shines through. It's welcoming and easy going, very relaxed (so don't go if you're in a rush!). Food is delicious and unusual with a Stateside feel (the chef worked in Canada) - amazing pancakes and... More
