About this property

Located on the cliff tops at Southbourne, next to the cliff lifts and Fisherman's Walk, all rooms offer fantastic sea views. It is close to the New Forest and Bournemouth town centre. Panoramic sea views across Poole Bay take in Swanage to the West, and Hengistbury Head and the Isle of Wight to the East. Great-value food and drinks, including Real Ales, are served daily in the lounge bar. Every bright, airy bedroom has a comfortable bed and most enjoy sea views. Each room also offers a private bathroom with a power shower and Gilchrist and Soames toiletries. The Isle of Wight ferry is just a 30-minute car journey away and several golf clubs are within 15 minutes' drive.

Couples particularly like the location — they rated it 9.4 for a two-person trip.
