Featuring a garden and views of garden, Little Robin Gate - Free Parking - Central - 10 min Walk to Train Station is a recently renovated guest house set in Bournemouth, 1.8 km from Westcliff Beach. Boasting a shared kitchen, this property also provides guests with an outdoor fireplace. There is a sun terrace and guests can make use of free WiFi and free private parking.

Little Robin Gate is a beautiful and eclectic property. It's a renovated 1930s house that the owner, David, lovingly restored. I had everything I needed for my stay and then some. The gardens and the exterior are peaceful and stately. The interior is immaculate and very comfortable. Additionally, there are bits of whimsy scattered throughout.

Salisbury Cathedral is 42 km from the homestay, while Salisbury Train Station is 43 km from the property. The nearest airport is Bournemouth Airport, 8 km from 83.
