Highly tecommended
This is a great place to stay for a holiday. It is spotlessly clean and smelled fresh and clean on arrival. It has all the facilities you need. The layout is excellent with one bedroom en-suite and the other next door to the bathroom. The terrace area is huge with amazing sea views.
It is a short walk to the beautiful beach and pier at Boscombe with a couple of restaurants and bars. Other places are easily accessible by car, bus or land train, but you don’t need to travel if you don’t want to.
The owners are really easy to contact and if there are any small issues they are quick to resolve them.
If we holiday in Boscombe/ Bournemouth again we would definitely stay here.

Perfect find!
Booked this quite last minute and got so lucky! The flat is so lovely - the photos don’t do it justice. And amazingly situated - 5 mins from the beach. The kids were over the moon.
There is a great place on the beach for wood fired pizzas.
Thank you - we’ll be back!

A really great week by the sea
Perfect apartment for a relaxing break. The beach is just down the hill and the sea views from the terrace are perfect - well appointed, quiet, and the apartment has everything you could ask for. Would recommend and look forward to visiting again.

Plenty of room with a view.
Wonderful sea views from the spacious flat & large roof terrace. Modern & light accommodation. Very firm double bed though which I personally found uncomfortable. Quiet and peaceful day and night. A five minute walk downhill to the clean, sandy Boscombe beach & Pier. Friendly staff at Urban Reef cafe/bar for food & drink on the seafront close to Boscombe Pier. Conveniently positioned between Bournemouth and The New Forest. Would visit again and recommend to others.
