BOURNECOAST: LAVENDER LODGE - 2 BEDROOM BUNGALOW NEAR RIVER AND BEACHES - HB5845

Bournecoast are delighted to offer this modern two-bedroom bungalow which is ideal for family and couples getaways.

THE LOCAL AREA:
Situated between Southbourne's famous sandy beaches and within a 5 minute walk of the pretty River Stour with its delightful riverside walks, boating activities and tea gardens, Lavender Lodge is a real find for those looking for an individual, less commercialised holiday experience. Ideal for cyclists, visitors can explore the nearby area, which includes historic Christchurch (only a mile away), the New Forest National Park and coast using only pedal power. It is easy, level walking distance to the local shops at Tuckton including one of the best butchers and fish and chips shops in the area, Tesco's, pharmacy and bakery, pubs, choice of restaurants and take-aways. From just outside the property bus services take you directly into Boscombe, central Bournemouth, and through into Poole. Nearby are the Blue Flag Beaches of Southbourne, cliff top walks and lively, slightly unconventional shopping parade, known as Southbourne Grove. If you like individual shops, you will love it here. Children's play areas, tennis and bowls are found at nearby Seafield Gardens, whilst in the other direction, Iford Playing Fields are the home of the Bournemouth BMX Club, more wide open spaces and riverside walks. Southbourne and Tuckton with their own character and attributes are also popular for being only a step away from the nightlife, shops and entertainment of mainstream Bournemouth.

THE DESTINATION:
Holidays are special! They form many of the best life memories and provide a rare opportunity for FREEDOM. Freedom to relax, play, breath and choose, what you want to do and when you want to do it. At Bournecoast we give you freedom of choice by offering an impressive selection of Self Catering accommodation in one of the most beautiful destinations in the United Kingdom. Dorset is a very popular holiday destination all year round. It offers beautiful rolling countryside, dramatic scenery, charming market towns, character villages and miles of some of the finest sandy beaches in the UK. Bournemouth lies to the east of the county and offers seven miles of blue flag beaches. It is near the market town of Christchurch with its 11th century Priory Church, ruined castle and Saxon mill, and the stunning medieval New Forest. The area caters for diverse interests, the popular buzzing beach resort in Bournemouth with its vibrant nightlife; the gentler pursuits of walking, wildlife and bird-watching in the nature reserves and national parks, and along the 20 miles of Bournemouth Coast footpath; and active pursuits such as cycling, sailing, rowing, canoeing, windsurfing, kite-surfing and sea kayaking. Popular also for touring, Southampton, the Isle of Wight, Salisbury and Stonehenge are all within reasonable travelling distance. Dorset features some excellent museums, with world leading centres at Bovington (The Tank Museum, telling the history of military vehicles), and the Russell Cotes Museum and Art Gallery in Bournemouth. Other museums include the Dorset County Museum in Dorchester, The Red House in Christchurch, the Royal Signals Museum at Blandford, and the award winning Brewers Quay in Weymouth. Many smaller towns have their own local museums.

Schöne Wohnung in guter Lage, 15 min vom Strand
Wir haben den Aufenthalt sehr genossen. Die Wohnung liegt in einer ruhigen Straße und hat eine sehr schöne Terrasse. Zum Strand sind es zu Fuß etwa 15-20 min. In der Nähe gibt es einige Lokale und take aways mit gutem Essen. Zwei kleine Mankos: es wird recht schnell sehr warm und das Doppelbett ist für Partner, die gerne kuscheln, denn es ist ziemlich schmal. Sonst aber top!

Lavender Lodge
This is a very well presented property. It is well equipped and equipment is good quality. Pleasant outside area. The property is in a great location. Close to local shops and cafes. Southbourne beach is within walking distance. Easy walk to the river and Christchurch. The downside for us was that there isn’t really sufficient comfortable seating for 4 adults in the living area. We also found that the blinds in the bedrooms aren’t sufficient and secondary curtains or black out blinds would be advantageous. The neighbours security light also shines into the double bedroom and on one night constantly was going on and off.

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.
