With plenty of space to spread out, this ground-floor apartment in an Edwardian home near Westbourne is a fantastic base to return to after a day at the beach. Having a private entrance and garden ensures you have all the privacy you need here, plus private parking is a real premium in this area during the summer months. Although there's room for six, we think the main bedroom is better suited to two adults and two children, while the second bedroom is ideal if you're travelling with another couple. When it's time to explore, you'll find the beautiful sandy beach of Alum Chine just 350 metres away, whilst a 15-minute walk will get you to the eclectic mix of boutiques, cafes and bars of Westbourne and its beautiful Victorian arcade.

Home truths
This is a ground floor apartment in a house. You'll have your own private entrance and garden here.
At full occupancy, one guest will be sleeping on the sofa bed in the main bedroom. This bedroom also has a single bed on the smaller side – we think this room is best suited to parents with two children.

There’s free parking on the driveway.

About Bournemouth
In a sign of its revitalising powers, Bournemouth was originally envisioned as a health resort – city-dwellers would flock to the seaside town during the summer to enjoy its warmer climate and breath in the sea air. Today, the town features a vibrant blend of international visitors, students, and older locals, while still feeling distinctly British – come in the heat and enjoy a bustling summer culture of festivals, or...
