Perfect holiday with family living close by

Lovely property. Beautiful garden. The owners were very generous allowing us to sit outside and also use the swimming pool especially with 4 boisterous grandsons. We had a welcome pack and the apartment was very well stocked with everything we needed. Perfect.

A great base for a couple in Canford Cliffs near beaches

A comfortable, modern and spacious studio with a very well equipped kitchen area for those like us that prefer to cater for ourselves. The area is handy for the wonderful beach that runs for miles from Hengistbury Head (Christchurch) in the east past Bournemouth to Sandbanks in the west. And the delights of Brownsea Island and Poole Harbour are very close.

Best Holiday Inn I have ever stayed at!

WOW! This place is everything a young or old couple could want for a holiday whatever the circumstance. A beautiful area with a wonderfully homely feel to the studio. A 10 minute walk to the beach and what a beach it is. Quite literally the best holiday I have had within the UK. The hospitality was brilliant and felt so welcomed, even with special dietary requirement.

Absolutely smashing!! Best place! Highly recommend :)

We had the most fantastic stay for 3 nights (wish woulda been longer) in this beautiful apartment. All newly refurbished and clean. Everything we needed was provided!! In real it's definitely bigger than the pictures look so that was a good surprise in a way :) comfy couch. Bed good size and comfy too. Perfect amount of sitting area for a couple... Derek and Margaret, the owners, provided excellent service - 5 star, were there for us all the time and gave us all we needed when we asked, they even bought the apartment a fan when we were worried we might be due to the hot august 2018.. the pool too was a bonus (love that it can be covered in kinda a conservatory when cold and slid open to be totally outdoor when hot...) the garden is really lovely too... and to top it all off really fab and peaceful holiday location! Will surely be going again soon! Thanks again for all :)

Stunning property, very clean, convenient location and has everything you need for your stay.

Definatly has the wow factor...couldn't ask for anything more. The property is in a beautiful location, very quiet and a short walk to the beautiful beaches...you don't need to take your car anywhere. The owners could not do enough for us, even down to leaving little extras like bread and milk for us, everything was there that we needed, all we had to take was our clothes. The apartment is very roomy and beautifully clean and if you don't want to go out on an evening then it is comfortable enough to just stay in and watch the tv. This was our first stay at this property and after visiting Poole for many years it will definitely be our first choice for future visits. Thank you to the owners for making our stay so fantastic and letting us have the use of your stunning property.
