An
INVITATION from DAVID and MARIANNA
To join them in their elegant, lovingly restored, period, Victorian house, pleasantly situated near lovely Bicclescombe Park but also convenient for the facilities of the town.
The minute you enter, you are made to feel at home.
They offer hospitality of a bygone age. Nothing is too much trouble.
Coastal Fringes is different and special. There are original architectural features from the Victorian period and all the furnishings and fittings have been carefully chosen to show the house to its best advantage.
There are also attractive pictures and plates to catch the eye.
Plants are one of David’s hobbies and guests enjoy looking round the garden and perhaps discussing the number of houses and gardens to visit in the area.
