Cosy cottage, short walk to beach and restaurants

Welcome! A cosy cottage tucked away in a quiet lane just off Southbourne high street with its independent pubs, restaurants and artisan bakeries. 10 minute walk to the sandy beach through wooded gardens. High-chair, travel cot and bed guard rail on request. Retractable stairgate at top of stairs.

Open plan upstairs with beams and vaulted ceiling. A fun and sociable space! Two downstairs bedrooms with king (5’) bed and bunks suitable for adults as well as children (grown-ups bed linen also available). Bath and beach towels provided.

Small but lovely walled courtyard accessed through main bedroom. Fragrant honeysuckle in the summer.

Arrive at your convenience. Keys will be waiting for you in the keysafe at the cottage.

Free parking in surrounding streets. It can get busy, but you can usually find a space. Alternatively, Woodside Road public car park is just a minutes' walk away and always has space (£5 for 24 hours or £26 for a monthly pass).

We make sure the cottage is sparkling clean using eco friendly cleaning products. Linens are laundered at high temperature using non-bio detergent.

Kindly note we are a strictly animal-free, non-smoking property.

Welcome well needed break

A very well maintained property . We were surprised and delighted when we arrived to find the spacious living area on the first floor. It was light and airy and a pleasure to relax and chill out in . There was every appliance you could need to make your stay easy and comfortable. We liked the fact eco friendly soaps etc were there to use .Lovely welcome gift and Mel was very kind about cleaning up before leaving . The property was just off the main high street where there were so many places to eat and drink . Parking and unloading was easy and no problem . Sea front a short walk or drive and plenty of free parking or very reasonable if you had to pay. Highly recommended !

Fabulous house in a great location. Has absolutely everything you need - fully stocked kitchen, washing products, extra bedding, games for kids, beach towels... Short walk to the beach, a good selection of shops and restaurants. Host left great recommendations for local activities and restaurants.The closest Fishermans Walk beach is much quieter and nicer than the main Bournemouth beach.

Perfect stay

This was a great 3 week visit with my daughter's family who live a few blocks away. Close to shops, transportation, restaurants and beach. Mel responded in a timely fashion and house is stocked with everything you would need. Great little house!

Excellent location

Lovely upside down house with easy access to great coffee shops, pub and restaurants. Beach only 10 mins walk away. It was the little extras that made this such a great holiday home - new buckets and spades and activity books for the children and lots of goodies for us too! So much thought has been put into the details and what this place has to offer.
