The rooms were warm and impeccably clean. We had a long drive down from Bristol airport and when we arrived, it was around 5:30 pm; that didn’t stop it from being nice and quiet though, and it was quiet during the entirety of our stay. We received a warm welcome from David (and Pumpkin!) and a welcome card from Pumpkin with various bits to nibble on - this was next to a variety of tea, coffee, sugar cubes, and different milks. While we were out they replenished the tea and coffee, replacing the used mugs with clean ones. Everything was neat and organised. There were ample power sockets in the room, and there was a little box of “things guests often forget”including toothpaste, band aids, etc., and the kitchen had everything needed for meals. Lastly, a quote (verbatim) from my wife: “they had the comfiest pillows we’ve ever slept on and when I’m on my death bed I want those pillows to be the last thing I feel - David, please tell me where you bought them from.”

Everything in need equipped. The washing machine in the shared kitchen and a laundrette in just one minute by walk really facilitated self laundry. The owner was helpful when fixing the heater in my room during my stay.

Everything was really brilliant. It felt like coming home from the first minute. We had a lovely and clean room with two single beds, TV, coffee and tea making facilities and washbasin. It's been so quiet at night although the centre of Boscombe and the seafront are just a few minutes to walk away. All the rooms have shared bathrooms and it worked perfectly well, because on every floor are enough bathrooms with shower or bathtub for everybody. For breakfast there was a huge selection of so many delicious cereals (even gluten free), fresh fruits, yoghurts, nutella, toast, marmelade, honey, cheese, juice, nearly every tea you're looking for and coffee ... I surely forgot something. ;-) The next bus stop and some shops, supermarkets are just 5min away. So all in all it's been the best accomodation I've ever had in Bournemouth/Boscombe ... THANK YOU KARL (or maybe Carl?)! ♥
