Located atop Southbourne clifftop, it seems to balance stunning sea views with a friendly, community-focused atmosphere. Though some areas might show their age, that's easily outweighed by the warm service and consistently praised food.”

pleasant seaside visit
sea viewwhite beddingfriendly staffsandy beach
the room had a sea view, and i found crisp, white bedding with ample pillows. the staff greeted my dog warmly (i really appreciated that). there was also an electric heater in the room, something i found helpful despite the regular radiators. the location was perfect, being right across from the path down to the sandy beach.
I did notice there was no reserved parking. I had to walk about eight minutes from where i found a spot on the public road.

The staff were attentive and helpful. We arrived late and they quickly assisted with our bags. The food portions were generous. It was a lovely surprise after our long drive. I found the British pub atmosphere very inviting. It.
The room was a bit small. We had only one bed table, and there wasn't any drawer storage. I struggled with space.
