“This Bournemouth boutique makes a virtue of its chocolate theme, extending it from the decor to some tempting treats. Award-winning breakfasts with playful chocolate twists are a definite highlight, and I especially like the property's proximity to the beach. For a relaxed and quirky seaside stay, this place has considerable appeal.”
