ST. Michael's Friendly Guest House ST. Michael's Friendly Guest House is a Victorian town house which I have run by myself, for the past 20 years. It is situated in Bournemouth town centre, five minutes from the sea front, theatres and entertainment venues. I pride myself on good home cooking to suit all tastes. Each room has colour TV, tea and coffee making facilities, wash basin, duvets on beds, intercom and some have radio alarm clocks. Children of all ages are welcome and dogs are welcome by arrangement. Local Attractions St. Michael's Friendly Guest House is an ideal base for day sightseeing, with the New Forest and Christchurch half hour away. In the other direction, Swanage, Corfe Castle, Lulworth Cove and also Monkey World. Southampton's West Key is only 45 minutes drive.
