5-star review - This house is super, located a few hundred metres from the glorious miles long beach. Since it is newly renovated with very good design and style eveything about the property is perfect - luxury!

10/10 - Lovely large house, very well equipped and spotlessly clean. Very close to beach, even older of our group walked down (and used the cliff lift when available). Great view of the Bournemouth pier summer fireworks from the cliff was a bonus as well. Highly recommended.

This is a really lovely house in a very pleasant residential area, conveniently located only a 5-10 minute walk from the beach and about 10 minutes’ walk from a busy high street with Sainsburys Loal, Tesco Express, Co-op, Boots, etc. It has clearly been refurbished recently, and everything is fresh and modern. It feels like somebody’s home rather than a holiday rental. The kitchen/diner is very spacious and attractive, and all the appliances work well. The rooms are large and nicely furnished, the entrance hall, staircase and landing are spacious, and thick carpets and solid walls make the house quiet and peaceful. The children’s toys and books in the bedroom with bunks were very much appreciated by the youngest members of our family group. The extensive patio with large table, sun umbrella and ample chairs was ideal for relaxing on hot days and warm summer evenings, and the children enjoyed playing on the lawned areas. The garden is secure, although care needs to be taken with small toddlers as there are a few steps. In the daytime the surrounding streets were fairly parked up at the weekend when the weather was hot (mid-July), but as day trippers went home plenty of free spaces appeared in the evenings. On weekdays there was ample space to park multiple cars directly outside the house. With careful parking, we actually managed to fit our 3 cars on the drive, but it more comfortably fits 2 cars as advertised. The house is generally very well-equipped, although I would have appreciated some oven gloves and an extra-large pan to help cook for a big group. We really loved the house and everything about it, it was one of the nicest houses we have stayed in, and we would very happily stay there again.
The booking process with Bournecoast was smooth and efficient.

5/5 - This is a lovely charming house. The cleaner, Mirabella, does a great job. The house has a secluded garden and is wonderfully close to the cliff top and beaches.

Thank you we had a lovely stay in the property, it has such good space and is so user friendly with everything for a family holiday, the garden was ideal too and the children enjoyed spending time there and of course the closeness to the beach.
The local shops are great too and being a very short drive to the main town is good, although we had everything so close we needed.
This is the fourth time we have stayed in the Bournemouth area each time different properties, this is a very good place and would consider it in future for a family holiday.

Beautifully kept house

We as a family love staying at 2 Rotherfield Road. We find that the accommodation suits us from age 4 months to 78 years old. It has been a delight for my grandchildren to play with all the toys and look at all the books.
This was our third year and hope to stay next year in 2023.
Kind regards to the owners

Short walk to a lovely, lifeguard patrolled beach. Bournemouth is a favourite with so much to do

We had a wonderful stay here with extended family. The location is perfect right by the beach (but away from the main road), the house was clean and tidy, communication was great throughout, and the kids loved the toys and books in their room! Would definitely recommend.

5* - This elegant ‘30s house has been beautifully modernised and decorated, with a real eye for its origins, such as the fabulous pantry, as well as the needs of modern living. It has everything you need for cooking and spending time together. And it’s very convenient for local shops and the great beach at Southbourne.

5* - A very spacious and ideally located family holiday home. I have recently returned from a holiday here where three generations of my family enjoyed all the facilities this house had to offer. Ideally located for the beach and within walking distance of a lovely family pub/restaurant and local shops.
