Absolutely loved this stay. Had a wedding down in Christchurch and wanted to stay local to main attractions. Great location, near to Poole, Bournemouth and other locations. The beach is not to far and is one of the best by far in Bournemouth. Love Poole harbour, always been a favourite of mine. The room was well maintained, clean and very comfortable. Lovely fresh sheets. Nothing was too much trouble, Christine the host was very friendly and made us feel very welcome. Will defo be coming here again.

Arriving late @ 22:30 late October to a cold room. We then found the bed to feel damp: guess it hadn’t been used for a while.Woke with a terribly stiff neck & full of aches. A hot shower ensued : but no soap or shampoo.And to note this is not a B&B : as advertised. You could however make a much needed cuppa in the morning.It’s a small room overlooking a not so busy main road, plenty of parking. Hosts were fine.But, sorry cold and damp in late Oct : not acceptable.Seb the host had left early morning : so we just let ourselves out, in search of painkillers & eats.
