Beautiful flat in a great location

We really enjoyed our weekend at this lovely flat. It was beautifully decorated, with really comfy beds! The host had left us milk and fresh coffee, and some cake as she knew it was my husbands birthday. It is only 5 minutes walk from 2 really good restaurants, and there is a deli and bakery too which were excellent. The beach is 5 minutes walk away, the coast is beautiful. I would definitely recommend, we would stay again if we were in the area.

Short break

What a location! A perfect, immaculately clean apartment and a fabulous host. We had two minor issues that Nicola resolved at lightening speed. A fantastic and well needed break, we walked for miles each day, Sandbanks, Swanage, Poole, Brownsea and Bournemouth were all very easy to get to. Highly recommend Beach Retreat as an ideal Base.

Super-friendly and helpful host and a great property

1. Really excellent contact from Nicola (our host) at point of booking and throughout. I knew that we were in good hands. 2. Great property: the description and photographs are accurate. 3. Excellent cleanliness: the apartment was spotless and it was nice to have such a good supply of clean towels, soap, dishwasher tablets, laundry powder, etc, in addition to the thoughtful addition of fresh milk and a treat in the fridge. 4. Would I go back? Absolutely: this will be my first choice of place to stay when I'm next in the area.

Perfect location and gorgeous apartment

This was the perfect place to stay for me and my family (2 adults and 2 kids). Nicola was so accommodating as we had to change dates at one point then ask for an extra bed last minute. She made us feel so welcome despite our extra demands! We all fell in love with the welcome basket of a locally baked cake selection! The apartment was gorgeous, clean and very modern. The loveliest sandy beach was a stroll down the road through some trees. And we drove to some amazing other beaches and tourist spots. We could not have asked for more. Thank you for having us to stay.
