Stylish, compact and only a fifteen-minute walk from Southbourne Beach, this studio apartment is the perfect place from which to explore England’s south coast. Incorporating a mix of modern and traditional elements, warm your toes on the underfloor heating while planning your seaside agenda at the antique writing desk. When it’s time for something to eat, the kitchenette is equipped for light bites. Should you fancy something a little heartier, catch the Wick Ferry to Christchurch and treat yourself to a slap-up feast in one of the many traditional pubs that cluster around the High Street. Spend sunny days picnicking by the nearby River Stour or take the short fifteen-minute stroll down to Southbourne Beach for paddling in Poole Bay and long walks along the endless sands. In the evening, nip across to Bournemouth, a seventeen-minute drive away, to watch a mesmerising sunset from the famous pier.
