About this property

Offering a group of four a marvellous base for the explorations of Dorset, the apartment enjoys easy access to the surrounding suburbs with their coastal activities, along with the outdoor havens of the surrounding national parks. A designated parking place greets you on arrival, so you can safely park your vehicle before heading inside this fabulous abode.

Move across the space to the kitchen, a space fitted with sleek, wooden units and an array of integrated appliances, which the budding chef of the party can enjoy fixing up delicious meals with. Enjoy these meals at the connecting breakfast bar or gather the family around the dining table and savour a sumptuous dinner together. When night falls, rest your head in one of two tastefully furnished double bedrooms, with one enjoying the lovely extras of a TV and an en-suite shower room; ideal for those seeking a little more privacy. A contemporary bathroom is situated close by and offers a separate bath and a walk-in shower, so you can choose to start your day with either a tranquil soak or a refreshing rinse.

The beach front was in easy walking distance. There was a handy co-op and we caught the bus into Bournemouth. The only thing missing was a tea towel which luckily we had taken one. A few more cups and crockery would mean we would not have to put the dishwasher on as often.
