Whether you're in Bournemouth for work or leisure, this apartment offers a unique base with plenty of personal touches. Shelves are brimming with crafty touches and object d'art, including a curious collection of vintage toy trucks. Rustle up a delicious home-cooked breakfast in the dine-in kitchen where dangling pots and pans feel like a rustic Italian cucina. Or, just enjoy your morning coffee outside in the shared garden before heading out to explore. Come bedtime, the huge sleigh bed is a delight to snuggle down in. You're a five-minute walk from the golf course at Meyrick Park, as well as from the shops and cafés in the centre of town. The beach is just a little further, although we recommend hopping in the car and heading to the award-winning beaches at Sandbanks, a ten-minute drive away. For a truly special day by the sea, hire a beach hut at Boscombe Manor directly from your hosts and live the Bournemouth beach dream.
