Holiday Cottages in Bournemouth

Bournemouth is a lively Victorian seaside resort town on the Jurassic coast. With entertainment around the beach and excellent bars, pubs and restaurants, there is something for everyone in Bournemouth. Explore our selection of last-minute cottages and organise the perfect last-minute getaway for you and your friends or family.

Reasons to Holiday in Bournemouth

Beaches

Bournemouth Beach is a seven-mile stretch of sand that has been one of Britain's favourite beaches since Victorian times. The beach has a host of water sports, ranging from fishing and sailing to jet skiing, surfing, and water skiing. There is a 300-metre pier complete with amusement arcade, rock climbing, and even ziplining. The beach has excellent facilities with showers, toilets, cafes and lifeguards, all at regular intervals. Bournemouth Beach has been the town's main attraction for over a century, and it doesn't look like that will change. So explore some of our fantastic cottages only minutes from the beach and book your last-minute beach holiday with your friends or family. With our simple booking system, you can book without fuss, and be sure you are getting the best deal available with our best price guarantee.

Activities

Narrowing down the best things about Bournemouth is tricky because there are so many options. If you're with friends, this seaside resort town does not disappoint when it comes to nightlife, with bars, pubs and clubs lasting well into the morning, with the O2 Academy taking centre stage. If you are with your family, everyone can enjoy a day's activities with art galleries, an Oceanarium, and museums such as the Bournemouth Natural Science Museum or Science Zone. The pier and the fairground behind it are great fun for the kids, with traditional rides and games as well as relaxing on the Bournemouth Observation Wheel. Bournemouth is a town made for everyone to enjoy, and there is a wide selection of Last Minute Cottages for you to choose from. The perfect last-minute cottage in Bournemouth is waiting just for you. If you need any help booking, call our market-leading customer services team.

Where to Stay in Bournemouth

If you are looking for a cottage surrounded by activity, the liveliest location is near the pier. The further you move away from the pier, the quieter it becomes. So, you can still enjoy a beach holiday in Bournemouth without the buzz that comes with the town centre.

Places to Visit Near Bournemouth

Lyme Regis is a town on the Jurassic Coast, dubbed the “Pearl of Dorset,” it lies in the Dorset AONB.

Frequently Asked Questions about Bournemouth

Q. How popular for holidays is Bournemouth compared to other places in Dorset?

A: Bournemouth is a popular holiday spot for obvious reasons, but it isn't as popular with Last Minute Cottages bookers as Swanage, Weymouth and Dorchester.

Q. What is the average price for a holiday cottage in Bournemouth?

A: Our recent booking data tells us that on average people pay £46 per person per a night to stay in Bournemouth. Though we offer properties at a range of price points and costs do vary at different times of the year.

Q. Is Bournemouth a popular place for family holidays?

A: The long, sandy beach is always a big draw for families but our booking data suggests more family-orientated breaks happen in places like Weymouth, Swanage and Bridport, while couples and grown-up groups are better suited to make the most of the nightlife in a larger town like Bournemouth.

Q. Is Bournemouth a good place to take your dog on holiday?

A: Although you will find plenty to see and do with your four-legged friend in Bouremouth is it less popular than other places like Lyme Regis and Bridport for those who pack their pooch.

Q. When should I book to get the best deal on a holiday cottage in Bournemouth?

A: Last Minute Cottages customers tend to book their stay in Bournemouth a whole two months before they come to stay. So in order to increase your chances of getting a great mix of choice and price, we would recommend booking before that if you can.

What our customers say about their holidays

  • Minati - Verified booking

    The property is situated in an excellent location, minutes away from the sea and sand.

    And having a designated parking facility was a great help. We felt the owner has put a lot of thought into what makes a good holiday home, especially for a family. - Upon arrival, we found a welcome gift which was so touching. - Very clean and spacious place. - Comfortable beds with plenty of storage space in the bedrooms. - The kitchen was well stocked with plenty of utensils and saucepans. We were pleasantly surprised to also see the provision of plastic cups and bowls for young children to use. - The dishwasher was a lifesaver with 2 children to look after. (From past holidays we knew that things like toilet rolls, kitchen rolls and bin bags are provided to cover for a couple of days, then it is the guest’s responsibility to buy more. So we were prepared for that). - Many extras were provided during our stay: Beach towels (in addition to the towels in the rooms), Family board games (which we really looked forward to in the evenings) Bucket and spade (which my son was delighted with). Foldable clothes airer - Loved the different pieces of art works around the property; the wall hangings and seaside models. - Very good wifi, although phone signal can be weak depending on the network provider so used Whatsapp to make most of our calls. - We think this property makes use of a system boiler with a tank. So while the water pressure is amazing, once the amount of hot water runs out from the tank, you will have to wait for the boiler to heat more. We found that a full tank was sufficient for 2 adults and 2 children to take a shower one after another, but not when someone takes a bath. Whilst this property is not advertised for disabled people, we just wanted to add that we have a daughter who is completely reliant on her wheelchair. Because the property was on the ground floor with the patio door opening to the front, it made things much easier when bringing her in and out of the property. Also, the sofa was large enough for us to keep her comfortably seated in one corner with plenty of cushions to support her. And the carpet was a very good size to give her body a good stretch and exercises. There is the Fisherman’s Walking path which takes you to the sand area. It took us about 8 minutes walking to get there. And whilst the path is wheelchair accessible, the route back can be quite steep to push a wheelchair so we would recommend using the Fisherman’s Walk Cliff Lift which is open till about 5pm. If you want a wheelchair person to enjoy more of the beach, then we recommend traveling to Boscombe Pier. There you will find a Mobi mat installed on the sand (on Undercliff Drive close to the roundabout), which allows the wheelchair person to get closer to the sea but still being on the sand. And if they want to be in the actual water, then you can hire a beach wheelchair from the Boscombe Seafront Office. Recommendations: - To have details of the nearest laundry in the guest book. We use google to search for everything but for those who may not have a smartphone would benefit from this information. - Another clothes airer for the other bedroom would be really nice. - The only thing that was a bit awkward in the property was the bathroom basin. It is a really spacious bathroom, so we were surprised at the very narrow basin. It is sufficient for washing hands but not washing the face. We think this was probably something installed by the developer across all the flats in the block rather than the individual owners. A slightly bigger basin would make it brilliant.

  • Faisal - Verified booking

    The building is not well sealed.

    Smoke from neighbours' fires made it into the property on almost every night of our stay. We ran an air purifier with a sensor that clearly monitored the pollutant ingress during these times. Who knows what it would have been like if we hadn't been running a purifier? I discovered one of the windows has a perished seal but that didn't seem to be the source of it. All relayed to the land-person who reacted like I was asking her for comments on the flavour profiles of mandarins from China vs. Japan. The property was not cleaned effectively before our arrival and it smacked of make-do: the air freshener sprayed excessively before our check-in the tell-tale. There was old food encrusted on place mats and the floors. An old toothbrush next to the nightstand. Pieces of food in the bedrooms. A smear of ketchup on the glass doors. Stains all over the kick-boards in the kitchen. The dishwasher still had water in it - not draining well obviously...we never tested it. Lamps were missing bulbs. Drawers were overflowing with out-dated tourism leaflets. The house feels like an old star being given a Vegas residency - you can slap as many gewgaws on it as you like but things don't quite look or feel as they used to. The plus sides: it had a highly effective heating system, the washing machine and fridge-freezer were good and the provision of crockery, pots and pans, cutlery, and other kitchen amenities were excellent: far better than many places you might stay. The decor is hideous. Cluttered. A caricature of a seaside home. It borders on the offensive. The furnishings are worn and stained. The towels are like drying yourself with a door mat.

  • Ben - Verified booking

    We had a lovely stay at Cranleigh Close.

    In the house the beds were really comfy, the shower was like a monsoon, x2 sofa's big enough for the four of us so we weren't squashed up in the evenings. Big fridge, dishwasher, conservatory/deck/garden were nice although we didn't use them much. For a family there's everything you need to make a 1 week stay easy, and you could set up home for a longer stay as well. The curtains were nice and heavy so we got a good nights sleep. The telly was also a decent size which was great - no squinting in the evening like some places! They might seem silly but to us, after a long day out with the kids, it's these small things that make for a relaxing, restful evening which is what we want on holiday. The location was good for going to Bournemouth, Poultons Park, and popping in to Christchurch for coffee. Not sure what the local high streets are like as we had dinner and drinks in as we have young kids, but a pretty good base if you want to travel to various spots in Dorset and Hampshire. This is an older house, so if you want to be somewhere that's newly renovated, go to a hotel. The owner has clearly put in lots of effort to make this a home, rather than just a house for many. Would happily stay again next time we head that way.

  • Trevor - Verified booking

    This was our first visit to Bournemouth since our honeymoon 49 years ago and we enjoyed every minute of our stay.

    The house was exactly as expected with the bonus of the use of the garage so we were able to keep our car safe thank you. The house was very clean and had every thing we needed for our stay including a brilliant washer dryer which I used a couple of times. The only down side was the lounge suite was a bit uncomfortable it would have been better if the seat backs were higher for support but it didnt spoil things. It was great that we had a nice big garden to chill out in and wasnt overlooked so really quiet and peaceful. There are plenty of places to eat and a supermarket is easy to get to so no worries finding provisions. It was great that the buses were easy to find and really frequent so no need to drive everywhere and we could use our bus passes. I would definatly recommend to anyone wanting a relaxing holiday near the sea.

  • Maria - Verified booking

    Our stay was lovely in an amazing area with a beautiful house, homely and comfortable.

    Our only down fall was we were told there will be essentials to start our stay, which i wouldn't class as the bare minimum. There was 1/4 of toilet roll between 2 toilets, no washing up liquid or spounge, 1 dishwasher tablet we had to hunt for and 1 bin bag between 2 bins. This was the only downfall as it means anyone staying will have to spend the extra £30 on things we could get in a hotel. A few dirty pans and pots in the cupboards and there was no mattress for the baby cot (more of a travel playpen) and had to use a folded duvet. Cleaning seemed abit rushed but facilites were great for longer stays. Overall a great place to stay and the owner warm and accommodating, will definitely book again knowing whats ahead thank you.
