The place needs a face lift, a room over a pub that looks tired. However the staff are brilliant, so lovely and helpful. The food is good value for money, pub grub. Location is great if you want the beach. If you like a good walk, 3.5mins (1hr 15 mins) to Bournemouth Pier.

Fantastic location just across from the sea. Lovely to have a fan provided in the room as, being on the top floor it did get quite warm. Good choice for dining and breakfast was ample. Simple food but well presented and on the whole tasted great! Rooms were pretty well equipped although could have made use of a chest of drawers. Plenty to do in the area. Thank you

Firstly we have stayed here before and had a wonderful experience. The property is old and consequently does not have that modern minimalistic feel to it. I think the beds could do with replacing as you can feel the springs through the mattress topper. The stairs are a challenge on par with climbing Snowden. So why did we come back? The Staff and ambience and the quality of the food and the feeling that you belong here and so welcomed. I love it. The patrons are warm and friendly and happy to chat with you. The staff are wonderful and I have to say that Ben is amazing. He sees what’s going on around corners and they all work hard. We were sorry to leave and will definitely be back.

The location was ideal for the beach and the local shops, restaurants etc.. Ideal for couples but I’m not sure for families. (Famiy4) Holly was great and helpful. She was very good what she was doing.

It's the location that brought me here. Across the road from the cliff tops with adjacent bus stop to take you to Christchurch or Bournemouth and Poole. It's a pub. Some friends and I had a very nice lunch on a hot busy day. I needed ice to keep medication "refrigerated" and the bar staff and housekeeping staff were extremely helpful. Cleanliness was good. The room had been cleverly modernised but was basically in an old building. You couldn't see the beach because it was at the bottom of a cliff. But you could see the sea. I'd stay again.

Average over priced

Thought was a little expensive for a room above a pub . Very basic met my needs but was extremly busy and the steaks were over cooked but this was resolved but duty manager who was very helpful . Check in was not great stood in middle of bar till someone was free and then was quite a lengthy check in . 2 flights of stairs to my room . View over back kitchen area . For £99 thought abit over priced stayed better .
