Beach Town

Half a mile from Bournemouth's seafront, this first-floor apartment puts you within walking distance of 7 miles of beach, the pier, and the town's restaurants and bars. The New Forest is a short drive east, while Sandbanks lies to the west. Entertainment venues including the aquarium and BIC arena are nearby, and you can hire bikes or scooters to explore further.

The apartment sleeps four across two bedrooms: one with a kingsize bed and the other with a zip-and-link bed that can be split into singles. There's a living room with Smart TV and electric woodburner, plus a kitchen with dishwasher, washer-dryer, and everything needed for self-catering. Underfloor heating keeps things warm, and wi-fi, bed linen and towels are included. One small or medium dog can stay free. Smoking is not permitted, and there's a public car park 20 yards away.
