This swish apartment is ideally positioned on the Sandbanks Peninsula – an affluent and sought-after location just a short twelve-minute stroll from the famous Sandbanks beach. Accommodating up to five guests, the family-friendly complex sits in beautifully landscaped communal gardens where children can play safely – they'll also have their own bunk-bed double room inside. Start the day sipping your morning coffee while you take in the stunning sea view, or head to "Caff" nearby for a tasty, traditional English breakfast. The chain ferry is just a few steps away, allowing easy access to the Purbecks and Brownsea Island. Take a short scenic drive to the fossil-rich Jurassic Coast and explore rock pools or walk along the windswept coastal paths. Return home to enjoy family movie nights, complete with atmospheric mood lighting, Sonos speakers and a comfy L-shaped sofa, or retreat to the balcony and watch the world go by. We can't get enough of those coastal vistas.

Local guide
About Dorset
If you want to immerse yourself in the England of yesteryear, a trip to the county of Dorset is a good place to start. The author Thomas Hardy seemed to concur – he drew heavily on his experience growing up around these parts to create the fictionalised rural idyll of Wessex that was the setting for many of his books. It’s fair to say that not too much has changed...
