    Tara was really nice and hospitable, and the place is nice, clean, and calm.
    the cat may come to you in the morning which is always a nice way to start your day.

    Thank you for the stay, Tara :)

    Everything was as promised, and Tara plus family are excellent hosts! The premises are beautiful, the area pleasantly quiet, and the beach is no more than a 10-minute walk, so it is ideal for a summer stay under good weather. Many thanks from Pavlos and Marily!

    We stayed in the large triple room, with good beds and enough closets for your clothes. There’s a washbasin in the room, but the shower is in the hallway and has to be shared with other people.
    You can make your own breakfast in the morning.
    The house is situated in a nice neighbourhood. The sandy beach and the sea are a 10 minutes walk from the house. A walk to the city centre takes you about 20 minutes along the beach.
    We have two points of criticism. The kitchen was always dirty and not tidy. Tara and David are very busy running a business, other than homestay, and have therefore very little time for their quests.

    I enjoyed staying at Tara's home, it was easily accessible from the Bournemouth International Centre conference venue, it was in a safe and quiet part of Bournemouth, and Tara was helpful, welcoming and conscientious. I would definitely recommend her as a host to people staying in this part of Bournemouth.

How do I book?

Contact the host to check their availability and ask them any questions you have about staying with them. Once the host confirms they’re available for your dates, you can complete your booking.

When do I pay?

Once a host confirms they're available, you can go ahead and pay the 15% booking fee (maximum of 250 $£€ for longer term bookings) using a choice of payment methods: Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Maestro, Laser, JCB & PayPal (not available in certain countries). You then pay your host on arrival or as stated by your host on their profile and agreed by you on booking. Please be cautious if a host requests advance payment if its not included on their profile. Our hosts have been advised that if they wish to request advance payment they must make this explicit in their profile. We do not recommend the use of Money gram or Western Union.

When can I share my contact details?

Host and Guest email address, phone number and home address will be exchanged in a confirmation email sent to both immediately after a booking is completed. It's against our policy for Guests and Hosts to exchange direct contact details via our messaging system.
