Gables Loft

The Dorset coast around Bournemouth draws families and groups back year after year, and Gables Loft puts you within reach of both the beach and the quieter appeal of the surrounding area. This second-floor apartment sits in a period building with shared gardens, making it easy to find your rhythm whether you want seaside days out or quieter time on the property itself.

Inside there's room to spread: five bedrooms and two bathrooms sleep up to seven people, with the main bedroom featuring its own en-suite. The living spaces—a sitting room, open-plan kitchen and dining area—are generously sized, which matters when you're sharing the property with a group. Everything needed for self-catering is on hand, along with wifi, heating, electricity, bed linen and towels. One well-behaved pet can stay at no extra cost.

A pub sits within a mile, and the beach is close enough for regular visits without making it a production. The communal gardens give you outdoor space without the upkeep. Smoking is not permitted inside.
