I was disappointed with this guest house, which was near Boscombe beach and shops, and sounded good in reviews. On arrival, my room was not ready and when I was shown to the room it smelled strongly of paint! I had to leave windows open for the whole time as I am asthmatic. There was no suitable alternative room. Why was it not aired beforehand? I saw nothing of the management and can only thank the young German girl who checked me in, showed me the room and served us breakfast, she seemed to be the only member of staff there! The cooked breakfast was poor and most of it cold.
