Nice property. Could do with a couple more pictures on wall and a plant to make more homely, but nice room. Could not open any bedroom window or turn down temperature we were very hot in the bedroom but would reccomend as nice property in good location. Found all the keys and codes a bit daunting

Thank you for your excellent review and for recommending the property. We are delighted to hear that you found it nice and in a good location. We appreciate your helpful suggestions about making the property feel more homely and your comments regarding the bedroom temperature and keys, which we will pass on to the owner for their consideration. We would be very happy to welcome you back for another stay soon. Warm Regards, Bournecoast Holiday Agents.
The apartment was very clean and so much equipment provided just a larger sieve would be helpful. Very well situated so everything is nearby that you would need. We did struggle trying to get the keys out of the key safe to get in on arrival. By the pictures we thought the garden would be slightly bigger and only gets the sun on the patio for part of the day but with the beaches so close it really didnt matter.

Hi Tasha, thank you for your wonderful 5* review! We're thrilled to hear that you found the apartment beautiful and well-maintained. We strive to provide a clean and comfortable environment for our guests, and it's great to know that you appreciated it.
We appreciate your feedback regarding the equipment provided. We take note of your suggestion for a larger sieve and will ask the owner to consider it for future improvements. Our goal is to ensure that our guests have all the necessary amenities during their stay.
We're glad to hear that the apartment's location worked well for you, with everything you needed within easy reach. We apologise for the difficulty you encountered with the key safe during check-in, hopefully this was just a temporary issue.
Regarding the garden, we apologise if the pictures may have given a slightly different impression. While the garden may not be large, we're pleased to hear that the proximity to the nearby beaches made up for it. It's wonderful that you were able to take advantage of the beautiful coastal areas nearby.
Thank you once again for your kind review. We truly value your feedback, and we hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back in the future for another stay. Warm Regards, Bournecoast Holiday Agents.
We had a lovely 2 week stay, the apartment is very well kitted out and is very new and easy to keep clean and tidy. I am very fussy when it comes to self catering accommodation so it takes a lot to impress me.
We loved the huge patio doors, giving so much light and fresh air on warm days!
We also loved the wardrobe spaces, great to have so much storage space. The beds were super comfy too, with ample bedding and the bath towels were lovely and big - it was all quite luxurious and very good value for money - we had family staying close by and we definitely had the much nicer accommodation by a long way!
My only minor gripes were no potato masher lol and the blinds needed a bit of dusting - other than that perfect! I would definitely recommend a stay here, 6 minute walk to the most glorious beach, a nice quite location and nothing was too much trouble for the host.

Why they chose this property
Nestled in a sheltered bay on the South Coast of England in the picturesque county of Dorset, this area has seven miles of sandy beaches for you to enjoy. There’s plenty to do in the resort or you can use the area as a base – stay and eat here while exploring the rest of Dorset’s history, heritage and picture-postcard scenery. There are plenty of places for you to visit, whatever the weather. There are museums, galleries, amusement arcades, crazy golf, play parks and an oceanarium. You can bring friends and family of all ages too – there’ll be something for everyone to enjoy.
Are you an adrenaline junkie? Or do you prefer a more relaxed pace? You can hike on the clifftops or freewheel gently along the prom. If you’d rather slow your pulse than get the blood pumping, you can spend your time just being pampered in one our spas. We’ve got golf courses, gyms and leisure centres, bowling lawns, tennis courts and the option to try beach sports. We find it’s easier to get motivated with the sand between your toes and sea views on the horizon! You don’t have to go very far for rippling waves and sparkling seas. Here you can take to your surfboard, kayak or paddleboard and get straight out onto the open water. You can bring your own equipment or hire it while you’re here. We’ve got a fabulous mix of shops – there are boutiques, department stores, designer brands and high street favourites. Our shops are close to the beach and surrounded by cafés and coffee shops. So, you can shop ‘til you drop or just pop in for holiday essentials. The area is well known for its bustling nightlife. There are cinemas, comedy clubs, theatres, casinos, nightclubs and plenty of places to catch live music. It’s hard to beat a sunny day on the beach but with a huge choice of gigs and shows in town, you’ll continue to be wowed long after the sun has gone down.
What makes this property unique
The area has a host of award-winning restaurants, bars, clubs, theatres, museums and cinemas, as well as countless attractions and places of interest.
With its ponies, protected natural beauty and thousand years of history, the New Forest is Bournemouth's back yard and for those of you of a literary bent, Thomas Hardy country is just a few miles away (Bournemouth being Hardy's Sandbourne). Continuing the themes, the tranquillity of the nearby isle of Purbeck was the inspiration for Enid Blyton's Famous Five adventures.
Add to that the National Trust sanctuary of Poole’s Brownsea Island and the historic charms of Christchurch and its famous Priory and you have the perfect backdrop for your holiday - with accommodation from Bournecoast being the cherry on the cake.
