For those that love nothing more than a stroll along the seafront and calming coastal views, this place is just the charm. Nestled in the popular town of Bournemouth, this beautiful home is just a five–minute amble from the sandy shoreline. There's also a bevy of shops, restaurants, bars and cafes, meaning you’ll never be stuck for things to see and do. In fact, the biggest conundrum you’ll face will be not having enough time. Bournemouth is awash with wonderful sights and sounds, and this pretty pad welcomes you to experience it all in style. With its soothing colour palette of neutrals and soft pastels, from the moment you open the front door, you’ll feel your tensions toddle away. This place is a serene sanctuary lovingly decorated to create a contemporary but cosy base to your adventures. Each and every nook and cranny is totally enchanting. From the nautical nods peppered from here to there to the chic flashes of gold and rustic wooden furnishings, it’s pure perfection – and thanks to its spacious setup, when a moment of me–time is craved, finding a spot to sit back and switch off couldn’t be easier. It’s almost impossible to choose just one outstanding... feature with this home, so we’ve narrowed it down to two – the master kitchen and open–plan living area. We just can’t get enough of the chic but homely feel in these rooms. From the period fireplace and enormous corner sofa of the lounge to the crisp, white–washed kitchen units and golden accents, this place has got us hook, line and sinker. Make the most of your stay by starting each day the right way – hot, frothy latte from the coffee machine in–hand and a lazy lounge on the settee. All fuelled up? Choose from one of the seven showers and get set to refresh yourself after a busy day traversing Bournemouth’s colourful scenes.

Host
This home is managed by Oliver
This home is managed directly by a business. A member of their staff will be your point of contact before and during your stay. Nearly twenty years ago, Oliver and his friend began curating the world's most unique and rustic getaways. Driven by their own unforgettable experience at a chateau, they have grown remarkably since then. Much like Plum, they believe in hand-picked luxury that doesn't break the bank.
This home is nominated for the Plum Guide Award.
