This refurbished, non-smoking hotel is a short stroll away from the extensive sandy beaches, cliff top gardens and local bus service.



The pier, the shopping centre and Chine Gardens are within walking distance of the hotel which has a peaceful location within the Boscombe Manor area of Bournemouth.

It was fantastic value for money, the room and bathroom was clean and spacious. The included hot breakfast and choice of cereals, fresh fruit and yoghurt was fantastic and Sue was a lovely friendly host. I will definitely stay here again when I return to the area.
