Samir
From
United Kingdom
In nearly 40 years we have travelled and stayed at over 100 Apartments/Hotels/B&Bs spanning 23 countries. It is in this context, that we would say that our experience at Little Robin Gate has been the best, and David (and Pumpkin) provided the perfect holiday base to celebrate our 39th wedding anniversary. The property was immaculate, from the beautifully kept gardens to our spotless room (Spa Room). David provided a warm welcome on arrival with Pumpkin the dog and was highly attentive at all times to ensure our stay was comfortable and pleasurable. The room was well equipped with tea/coffee maker, complimentary biscuits (topped up every day), hair dryer etc. The spa room with a large spa bath was wonderfully relaxing at the end of the long day exploring Bournemouth and beyond. David has set a high bar for all B&Bs and we wish him and Pumpkin continued success!
