About this property

Apartment 3 at Alum Chine Beach House

This is a luxury one-bedroom self-contained apartment with an open plan kitchen, bedroom and bathroom (52 sqm) on the first floor of the Alum Chine Beach House.

The kitchen is fully equipped including a dishwasher, oven, hob, microwave, fridge, kettle and toaster. The bedroom has a queen-sized bed.

This apartment runs from one side of the building to the other with an aspect onto a quiet residential road from the bedroom while the open plan lounge opens onto the chine.

The ensuite bathroom has a walk-in rain-style shower. Fresh towels and linen are provided and for stays longer than 7 days the towels will be replaced.

Pets are allowed although you must notify us in advance and there is £20 additional fee, per pet.

Foldaway Bed provided at a £15 additional fee

Alum Chine Beach House is a collection of 6 luxury apartments located moments from the Bournemouth Beach and its glorious 7 miles of Golden Sand. Each apartment is finished to a very high standard with high quality furnishings throughout, en-suite shower rooms with rain-head showers and kitchens including all the facilities to prepare anything for a light breakfast through to a full evening meal.

I called it the Alum Chine Beach House as it sums up how I feel about the place, it's super close to the beach, it has the feel of a big Victorian house and we try to make our guests feel relaxed and at home the moment they check in. Leticia is the Reservation Manager and will be your first point of contact throughout your stay. She has been at Alum Chine Beach House now for a while and knows the place inside out and is always more than happy to help with any questions or queries.

The properties are located in Westbourne, just to the west of Bournemouth, which is one of the most elegant and fashionable parts of Bournemouth with an urban village feel. It is definitely not your usual high-street; there is a vast selection of independent stores, cafes and restaurants and is truly a unique shopping experience. Of course the best attraction of the area is the gorgeous golden sands! Alum Chine beach is far quieter than the beaches closer to Bournemouth town centre although is equally as sandy and inviting

We are dog friendly here at Alum Chine, but have a look into our rules first.

Hello Richard, thank you for taking the time to send us a review. We are glad that you had a great time and we look forward to having you again in the future. The location is great and one of the reasons we love the place is that it is just a short walk to the beach and Westbourne is perfect. Leticia

Perfect accommodation in a perfect beach location

We had a lovely family holiday and were really pleased with the proximity to the beach; less than a 10 minutes walk. We were able to park on site for the duration of our stay. The apartment was equipped with everything we needed and the fresh towels were appreciated on the 3rd day of our stay.

Perfection

We stayed for two nights on a short break to visit the area and to meet up with old friends. The accommodation was perfect. Immaculate, contemporary decor, light and bright. Super comfy bed and amazing shower. The location is excellent. Surprisingly quiet street. Walked to the beach along the beautiful Chine path. Nice shops and bars in Westbourne. We were also really happy that you are dog friendly as we had our wee pooch with us. It really was a perfect location for a lovely get away.

Perfect in every way

We have just returned from a 4 night stay in Apartment 3. The apartment was extremely spacious with the most stunning & luxurious decor. We had a rollaway bed for our young Daughter and she slept better here than she does at home! The apartment had everything we could have needed and we enjoyed some very relaxing nights on the comfy sofa reading our books (with a glass of wine). We will definitely be recommending Alum Chine Beach House to our family and friends and we can't wait to come back

Overall a pleasure stay

The apartment is spacious with a fully equipped kitchen. There are 6 apartments and only 5 narrow parking spaces so you need to be lucky to park. We found some issues with DIY.The coffee table was damaged on the top and when we tried to move it to place an extra bed, leg fell off. The same with the dining table, the top was moving. The mirror in the bathroom was not working and the spotlights were very dark.Some kitchen utensils not clean. The shower temperature was very hot and hard to regulate

Great accommodation in a first class location.

The Beach house provides comfortable & well appointed accommodation. Its location is quiet & yet close to the beach & within walking distance of Westbourne which has a super artisan high street. This was our second stay with Michael & it felt like a home from home, we loved our time here. We are already planning a return visit in September. In short a gem!!
