“Lovely, clean apartment.”

We took our elderly mother for a few days. Everything you could need for a relaxing holiday was there. There are a few steps around the flat which can be a nuisance but would go back again.

Response from the owner Thank you for your review, we are glad you enjoyed your stay at Boscombe Reef Retreat and that you found our information helpful. I am sorry you found it a bit hilly, one of the great things about Boscombe is that you can drive straight down to the beach. There are also several lifts along the stretch of seafront. We look forward to having the opportunity to welcome you back again.
