“This property makes a strong impression with its excellent location, mere moments from Alum Chine beach and a pleasant walk from Bournemouth's promenade. The on-site restaurant is a highlight, serving well-regarded food with appealing views, and the leisure facilities, including a pool and jacuzzi, are a definite draw.
