Apartment 6

Apartment 6 is a compact one-bedroom place on the second floor with a fully equipped kitchen, living space, and ensuite shower room. The double bed, Freeview Smart TV, induction hob, electric oven and microwave mean you can settle in properly without hunting for basics. Bed linen, towels, heating and wi-fi are all included; there's also a shared laundry room with a washing machine and tumble dryer on site. One well-behaved pet is welcome. The apartment does not permit smoking.

Westbourne itself has independent shops, cafés and restaurants along its high street. Alum Chine beach is a short walk away, and you can reach Bournemouth's seafront by foot or in a couple of minutes by car—the pier, Oceanarium, leisure complex with cinema and virtual reality, and Russell Cotes Art Gallery are all accessible from there. Sandbanks beach, known for its golden sand, lies in the opposite direction. Further afield, the Jurassic Coast is within driving distance, as is Brownsea Island via ferry from nearby.
