The West Country / Dorset region
Southbourne is situated along the bay of Bournemouth between Bournemouth and Christchurch.
From Sandbanks in Poole the golden beaches and Promenade run up to Hengistbury Head with Bournemouth Pier and the Boscombe Surf Reef in the middle.
Hengistbury Head is a great day out either by a combination of Open Top Bus, Boat through the Christchurch Harbour and Land Train through the nature reserve. This is also a nice day out for a family with bikes, the beaches at Hengistbury head are very lovely for relaxing and a 5 minute boat trip takes you across the harbour entrance to Mudeford Quay in the historic town of Christchurch. Another boat takes you on a 30 minute trip from Hengistbury Head to Tuckton where its a short bus trip or half an hour walk back to Tranquillity.
Hengistbury Head is a nature reserve with private roads which the land train runs on. Sights to see are the famous viking burial mound, the double dykes made in the stone age, the harbour on one side and the sea on the other, the bird sanctuary is along the route as well.
Christchurch is an old town and some of the buildings near the Priory still have the stars on them from the times when you had to pay the fire department before they would attempt to rescue the building. The Priory is very large and is at the head of two rivers The Stour and The Avon which flow into the Christchurch Harbour.
The Priory is nearly a thousand years old and a very interesting visit, containing some legends and the Priory school, now a museum, St Michael's loft. Christchurch is a great day out to walk around, see the two castle house ruins, walk along the riverside and see the art at the Old Mill.
Southbourne has very good access to the shops, the beach and safe cliff top walks, an ideal place for a family relaxed or activity holiday.
The Bournemouth / Southbourne area
Each year the Bournemouth International Air Show is put on for 4 days in the summer. 2013 dates are THURSDAY 29th AUGUST - SUNDAY 1st SEPTEMBER 2013. The Red Arrows display team put on a performance and the Army helicopters come in to battle alongside the Marines along the beach side and the cliff top viewing is perfect for a day of fun. This is a hugely fun packed event with lots of vendors and activities. Usually jets like the Typhoon, Eurofighter, F16's give a display as well as the older Lancaster Bomber and Spitfires. Wing Walkers also perform.
Various art and musical events happen in the parks both in Christchurch and Bournemouth.
Some very good day out trips to Beaulie Motor Museum, Bucklers Hard, Boats out to Swanage and along the Jurassic Coast are all very accessible from Southbourne.

Well if there's one thing that you can't rely upon it's the British weather. Thankfully whilst it was a less than balmy 2 degrees and rainy outside of the hot tub; inside it was a most pleasant 35 degrees. The house is a good size and fantastically kitted out; the owner (Michael) is friendly and helped us out with all our enquiries. I would definitely recommend and we look forward to hopefully staying again! Response: Really pleased you enjoyed your stay. We hope to see you again and hopefully with better weather next time. We would like to offer you a 10% discount for any further booking with us. |

I stayed here with a group friends for our graduation week in November. Before our arrival I was dubious as to how good the facilities would be and whether this house really did exist...it seemed too perfect for our needs. I was amazed! The house is nicely furnished and the hot tub was a key feature to the enormous amounts of fun we had during our stay. The outdoor area is fantastic, which includes a bar and outside heaters...perfect for groups wanting to party and for social occasions. It was ideally situated right near the beach and close enough for us to get into Bournemouth town centre both day and night. The on site manager was more than helpful and made our stay very comfortable. One criticism would be that there is only one toilet, which is part of the wet room. As there was a lot of us sharing in the house it did become difficult with us all showering and not being able to get into the toilet. The floor did become wet which also makes it difficult for others wanting to use the toilet. That said, we all agreed that our graduation week wouldn't of been the same without this house! I highly recommend a stay here. Response: Happy you had a good graduation week and enjoyed your stay with us. Would like to offer you a 10% discount for any further stay with us. |
