Thank you for your lovely feedback, Janine. We’re delighted you enjoyed the location and found everything you needed for your stay. We’d be happy to welcome you back anytime. Bournecoast Holidays
Lovely apartment with beautiful furnishings, double en-suite showers were handy, brilliant location - only a 10 minute walk to the beach and town centre! The bonus was the beach hut which had many beach essentials like folding chairs, a table and toys for young children. A kettle was also provided which we made great use of - it was lovely to have a cuppa by the sea!

Hi Izabela, thank you so much for taking the time to review our accommodation, it really is appreciated. We are pleased to hear how much you enjoyed your stay and the beach hut. We look forward to hopefully welcoming you again one day. Regards, Bournecoast Holiday Agents.
Property very good. Could have done with less steps as had injured knee week before - not the property owner's fault. Lift to beach not working - perhaps could mention this in info as Tourist Info says will be out of use all season. Other than that lovely flat and beach hut great fun. Had a very relaxing week and would book again. Thanks :)

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.
