Apartment 3

Apartment 3 is a first-floor one-bedroom flat in Westbourne, the quieter neighbour to Bournemouth's busier seafront. The open-plan living space contains a 32-inch TV and DVD player, a separate dining area, and a kitchen with electric oven, hob, microwave, dishwasher and fridge. The bedroom has a three-quarter double bed. One bathroom serves the flat, and a shared utility room with washing machine and tumble dryer is available to guests. Essentials like bed linen, towels, Wi-Fi and heating are provided; parking is on road.

Sandy beaches lie a short walk away. Westbourne's high street has independent cafés, restaurants and shops within reach on foot. Bournemouth town centre, with its pier, Oceanarium, gardens and leisure complex, is 1½ miles along the seafront or a short journey by car or bus. Heading the other direction takes you to Sandbanks for fine golden sand and expansive views, or to the ferry for Brownsea Island where red squirrels live. The wider Dorset coast—including Durdle Door, Lulworth Cove and Swanage's steam railway—is drivable for a day out. The property sleeps two and welcomes one pet.
