“Excellent accomodation, perfect location for beach. Would definitely stay again!” Very enjoyable stay at Shore point, pleased on arrival that accomodation was clean, tidy and met the high specifications that we where expecting. Welcome hamper was a nice extra touch! Appartment layout was sociable & relaxing, with great open plan area to spend time as a family and enough alternative space to be alone should you wish. Only a short walk to beautiful beach's, local shop and ferry, we could'nt have asked for much more. Would be more than happy to book again in the near future :0)

“Perfect Holiday” We loved the location of the house, right next to the quay, offering pretty views and the opportunity for crabbing. The kids loved this activity. We caught the row boat ferry across to the beach, which was perfect for the children. Tho house had everything we needed, including a tv in every room and strong WiFi connection. The beds were comfortable and there were 8 of us but the house had ample room. This was the perfect, quintessentially English seaside holiday.

“Taunton Cottage a great location” We had a lovely week's stay at this impressive cottage which is equipped with everything you could need for a family holiday. My 12 year old was especially impressed with her own floor of the house (as it has a loft conversion) with her own en suite shower! The WIFI is really good which is also a must with children. I enjoyed some lovely down time in the very comfy rooms. The house is a stone's throw from the town which offers lots to do for a family week away. We were made to feel very welcome by the owners and nothing was too much trouble. We were only sad that we had to leave! I would also commend the décor of the house which was well thought out and everything matched perfectly. I would highly recommend this house to parents with older children as it provides enough space for everyone to be happy. It also has it's own car parking space which is very rare for a house in Swanage and makes packing and unpacking the car quick and painless. Once we were parked, we didn't feel the need to use the car as everything is walkable but it's great to know that it's just there should you need to go out. Finally, top marks for cleanliness. Super clean linen and bathrooms and lovely finishing touches. Thanks for a wonderful holiday.

“Perfect family holiday!” An amazing week staying at Beach View. Three generations of family celebrating a special birthday right on the Southbourne seafront. With fantastic views from the garden and upstairs balcony, the house is bright, airy and catered for our every need. Hilton, the owner, was so welcoming and it was evident that he genuinely cares that his guests have a fantastic stay. He helped us with any queries or requests we had and was readily available to help us out whenever we needed. The property is in an ideal location, away from hustle and bustle of Bournemouth, but easily accessible to all the surrounding areas by bus, which we used whilst the Air Show was on. Very much hope to return!

“Fabulous House for a family celebration” We stayed at 32 Brownsea Road for long weekend to celebrate my husbands & daughters birthdays. The house is situated perfectly to explore the surrounding area & the house was very comfortable and well stocked when we stayed in. The eleven of us had a fabulous time and would definitely think of returning. The highlight for the kids was the jacuzzi!!

Boutique 2 Double Bedroom Coach House Garden Apartment Near Beach
Perfect!

This was a last minute booking after a previous booking in Sandbanks had been cancelled. Wow! I am so pleased it was cancelled. The place was spotless, pristine and comfortable, worth 5 stars all day long. The area was lovely and quiet, yet the beach, shops, restaurants were all within a 5 to 10 minute walk. Richard and Paul made us feel so welcome, with little extras, flowers on the table, wine etc. this is my first review ever, but felt I had to. We will definitely visit again! … see more
Number Six
Fantastic spacious, clean, well furnished house, perfect for large family groups like ours!

Spent a wonderful Christmas here with a group of 10 and 2 kids. Lovely touch with welcome hamper and cheery Christmas tree. Loved the dining room the best, huge table, plenty of space for meals and to play board games altogether. Neat comfortable bedrooms. Great Location near beach, town, shops etc. Good parking for our 3 cars. … see more
Boscombe Reef Retreat
Home from Home

Great apartment. Great location. This is the second time we have stayed in one of Teresa’s apartments. Teresa is an excellent and attentive owner. The instructions provided with the keys detailing access and use of the the parking bollard were clear and concise. The apartment is well fitted out and had everything we needed. The apartment is spacious, light and well kept. The location is excellent being a short walk from the beach and local shops, the main shopping areas in Bournemouth and Castle Point being easily reached with a short drive. We would have no hesitation in recommending this apartment and will certainly look to stay here again on our next trip. … see more

Absolutely Fantastic Home

What a lovely home, equipped with everything we needed. Quite setting in beautiful countryside. We were a family of 8 and were very comfortable with loads of space and warm inside. The Crown is a great pub just around the corner with very good meals. We were well positioned to explore inland and the coast, wish we could have stayed longer. A truly memorable holiday and would highly recommend it. … see more
Ridge Farm Annexe
Delightful quiet and comfy retreat

Warm welcome from Mark and introduction to the lovely annex. Roomy kitchen diner - well equipped and thoughtful essentials provided. Beautiful newly refitted big bathroom with large bath and good shower. Comfy twin beds and a lovely sitting room looking out over the garden. Quiet location, easy to find from the provided directions. Up a farm track but it is in good condition and not a car destroyer. Easy access to towns of Sturminster Newton and Sherborne with its fabulous Abbey Church. Our dog had the run of the garden under control and was quite happy. Overall a perfect stay over New Year away from the bright lights in an immaculately clean, comfortable, cosy place. … see more
Ted's House
A Lovely New Year Break

Six of us have had a great time here and found his house to be very clean, well equipped and comfortable. Although cold outside the house was very warm and welcoming. We enjoyed the long walks along the coastal path and meals at the Cove House Inn and celebrated the welcoming of the New Year in a wonderful location. We would however agree with previous comments about blackout blinds or curtains needed for the two front bedrooms as the light from the double lamp column outside illuminated the rooms Inside. … see more
