The West Country / Dorset region

Bournemouth is a vibrant and popular town with a variety of restaurants, shops, entertainment and its miles of renowned blue flag sandy beaches. Beautifully landscaped gardens lead though the centre of the town to the pier, BIC, Oceanarium and other attractions.

The Bournemouth area

The famously upmarket area of Sandbanks in Poole is approximately a 20 minute drive from Bournemouth and its white sandy beaches, palms and stunning coastline should be seen. A visit to Poole Quay with its many fine restaurants, boats and marina and under cover shopping centre make for a very pleasant day out.
A ferry from Sandbanks can also be taken across to Brownsea Island and to Studland and historic Corfe Castle.

The beautiful New Forest is within easy driving distance and here will be found quaint little shops, olde inns, tea rooms and roaming New Forest ponies. The village of Burley is particularly popular and the surrounding areas of Brockenhurst, Lymington and Lyndhurst (to name just three) are all delightful. The world famous Beulieu motor museum is also within driving distance as are other 'must see' places too numerous to specify.

In Bournemouth you will find an abundance of leisure activities. There are a number of Tennis Courts and Clubs of International repute; many Bowling Alleys and not least of all Golf Courses. So you can bring your irons. There is also, of course, Surfing and swimming. The Horse Riding Schools will appeal to the equestrians.

The dry run ski centre at Christchurch with its many associated activities is also well worth a visit and a stroll along the beautiful River Stour (stopping at the Old Mill gift shop and tea rooms) takes you to the historic 10th century Christchurch Priory and castle ruins. For the children, a visit to Alice in Wonderland (opposite Bournemouth International airport) is a wonderful way to spend a day.

“Such a great location with stunning rooms” I stayed at Shell cottage with my partner and my 2 children, 6 months old girl and 7 year old son. I must say the the accommodation is of the highest standard and the cleanliness is spotless, we stayed for a long weekend and had a fantastic time, Bournemouth is a great place and we had a fantastic time. I would just like to thank Mrs Lazenby the owner who helped out with local information and helping us plan our days out, Splashdown at Tower Park swimming pool is amazing, my son loved the slides. All in all a fantastic break and most of all the cottage was perfect, we will be back next spring for another break.

“Disappointing” This could have been a very enjoyable stay as the location and setting of the holiday homes is lovely. Unfortunately the poor cleanliness, lack of equipment i.e 4 cups for 6 people, too few glass and a dishwasher that didn't work, along with the attitude of the owner upon complaint made for a less than perfect stay. We also had difficulty in getting our security deposit returned. Response: This view does not reflect the opinions and experiences of our other guests. We have many happy guests who return to our cottage year after year.
