Nice large rooms with high ceilings. Room was very clean and staff were friendly. Very handy for getting in to the town centre by foot. Finding the place was easy and there was parking - which you cannot say for most central hotels in Bournemouth.

We loved Little Robin Gate so much! Beautiful house, lovely room and garden view, free parking, some gorgeous little touches in the room such as a Good Luck banner and note from David ahead of my Daughter's competition. Plus Pumpkin, the main attraction of course. David is an exceptional host!
