"This Victorian seaside hotel has had a makeover to create a youthful, funky boutique hotel in the up-and-coming Boscombe area of Bournemouth."

Rough Guide

"A short (but steep) walk from Boscombe’s surf beach, and close to Boscombe’s shops, this old Victorian townhouse has been given a boutique makeover."

Lonely Planet
