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.

Thank you for your review and for highlighting the ideal position of the flat, with shops and restaurants right on the doorstep, as well as noting that it was clean and well equipped. We appreciate your comments and would like to clarify that the property is not advertised with a shower facility in the main bathroom, as there is an ensuite shower room available. The sofa bed is located in the lounge as an extra bed, which is also stated in the property description. We will pass on your note about the extractor hood light to the owner for their attention. We hope you will choose to stay with us again for another stay soon. Warm Regards, Bournecoast Holiday Agents.

Great apartment

This apartment is in an excellent location- within walking distance from the town centre and the beach. There’s a convenient store next door & a lovely fish & chip shop across the road. However, as the apartment is on the main road it can be quite noisy at night but I would stay here again.

Lovely property in a great location

The flat is very spacious and light. Nicely furnished and well equipped, we had everything we needed and more. It's in a great location, 5 min walk to the beach, 5 min walk to the centre of town, there's a shop and a few restaurants near by as well. It's on a fairly busy road (you can watch the open top buses zoom past) but you don't really notice the traffic after a while. Plus the odd party goer being too loud in the middle of the night but that's to be expected and it certainly wouldn't put us off staying here again. All in all a really lovely week and my son is keen to go back next year (but only if we stay at this particular property). Would recommend.

A comfortable stay

Overall, a very comfortable and well equipped apartment. Location is ideal for people with limited mobility as it is close to the sea-front and town centre. A compromise to this benefit is a fair amount of night-time noise, which is quite disruptive if you have any sensitive sleepers in your party.
