THE LOCAL AREA: Boscombe High Street offers a diverse and well-established selection of retail outlets, cafes and restaurants, providing convenient access to everyday services as well as a variety of leisure and dining options. Situated between the neighbouring coastal towns of Bournemouth and Christchurch, Boscombe enjoys a highly desirable position that combines accessibility with a more peaceful and relaxed atmosphere. Although slightly smaller and quieter than central Bournemouth, Boscombe remains an integral part of the wider Bournemouth area and benefits from a comprehensive range of local amenities. Boscombe is recognised as a seaside resort in its own right, offering a distinctive character with its blend of independent shops, recreational facilities and coastal attractions. Residents and visitors alike can enjoy a strong sense of community alongside the advantages of a well-developed resort town. While Bournemouth is well known for its network of scenic chines, Boscombe is home to its own, Boscombe Chine, a particularly attractive and tranquil woodland area featuring established walking paths, mature trees and natural wildlife, offering a pleasant setting for relaxation and outdoor activity. The Chine also includes a traditional crazy golf course, providing an additional leisure option suitable for all ages. Boscombe Beach offers a wide stretch of golden sand and provides opportunities for swimming, coastal walks and general seaside recreation. The beach benefits from its own pier and is particularly popular for early morning swimming and leisurely strolls along the shoreline. The surrounding promenade allows for easy access along the coastline, connecting Boscombe seamlessly with neighbouring areas. A seasonal land train operates along the promenade beneath the cliffs, offering a convenient and enjoyable route to Bournemouth town centre. Bournemouth provides an extensive range of shopping facilities, entertainment venues, restaurants, bars and cultural attractions, as well as its renowned award-winning beaches. This excellent connectivity ensures that Boscombe offers the best of both worlds, a quieter coastal setting with straightforward access to the vibrant amenities of central Bournemouth and the wider Dorset coastline.
THE DESTINATION: Holidays are special! They form many of the best life memories and provide a rare opportunity for FREEDOM. Freedom to relax, play, breath and choose, what you want to do and when you want to do it. At Bournecoast we give you freedom of choice by offering an impressive selection of Self Catering accommodation in one of the most beautiful destinations in the United Kingdom. Dorset is a very popular holiday destination all year round. It offers beautiful rolling countryside, dramatic scenery, charming market towns, character villages and miles of some of the finest sandy beaches in the UK. Bournemouth lies to the east of the county and offers seven miles of blue flag beaches. It is near the market town of Christchurch with its 11th century Priory Church, ruined castle and Saxon mill, and the stunning medieval New Forest. The area caters for diverse interests, the popular buzzing beach resort in Bournemouth with its vibrant nightlife; the gentler pursuits of walking, wildlife and bird-watching in the nature reserves and national parks, and along the 20 miles of Bournemouth Coast footpath; and active pursuits such as cycling, sailing, rowing, canoeing, windsurfing, kite-surfing and sea kayaking. Popular also for touring, Southampton, the Isle of Wight, Salisbury and Stonehenge are all within reasonable travelling distance. Dorset features some excellent museums, with world leading centres at Bovington (The Tank Museum, telling the history of military vehicles), and the Russell Cotes Museum and Art Gallery in Bournemouth. Other museums include the Dorset County Museum in Dorchester, The Red House in Christchurch, the Royal Signals Museum at Blandford, and the award winning Brewers Quay in Weymouth. Many smaller towns have their own local museums.

Thank you for your wonderful 5-star review, Maria! We’re delighted to hear you enjoyed the convenient parking, the location close to the beach, and that the property was clean and ready for your arrival. It’s also great to know our communication and response times helped make your stay even smoother. We truly appreciate your feedback and would love to welcome you back again in the future!

Too much furniture in such a small flat no need for a second couch or second small table could barely put the eating table up to eat
should be a washer dryer no place to dry towels and if they got washed they took days to dry
kitchen was lovely
main bed tiny for 2
but towels were fantastic great size
poor wi-fi kept disconnecting
was reasonable for the few days we were there
would recommend with above changes
would benefit from a mop as well

Why they chose this property
Nestled in a sheltered bay on the South Coast of England in the picturesque county of Dorset, this area has seven miles of sandy beaches for you to enjoy. There’s plenty to do in the resort or you can use the area as a base – stay and eat here while exploring the rest of Dorset’s history, heritage and picture-postcard scenery. There are plenty of places for you to visit, whatever the weather. There are museums, galleries, amusement arcades, crazy golf, play parks and an oceanarium. You can bring friends and family of all ages too – there’ll be something for everyone to enjoy.
Are you an adrenaline junkie? Or do you prefer a more relaxed pace? You can hike on the clifftops or freewheel gently along the prom. If you’d rather slow your pulse than get the blood pumping, you can spend your time just being pampered in one our spas. We’ve got golf courses, gyms and leisure centres, bowling lawns, tennis courts and the option to try beach sports. We find it’s easier to get motivated with the sand between your toes and sea views on the horizon! You don’t have to go very far for rippling waves and sparkling seas. Here you can take to your surfboard, kayak or paddleboard and get straight out onto the open water. You can bring your own equipment or hire it while you’re here. We’ve got a fabulous mix of shops – there are boutiques, department stores, designer brands and high street favourites. Our shops are close to the beach and surrounded by cafés and coffee shops. So, you can shop ‘til you drop or just pop in for holiday essentials. The area is well known for its bustling nightlife. There are cinemas, comedy clubs, theatres, casinos, nightclubs and plenty of places to catch live music. It’s hard to beat a sunny day on the beach but with a huge choice of gigs and shows in town, you’ll continue to be wowed long after the sun has gone down.
What makes this property unique
The area has a host of award-winning restaurants, bars, clubs, theatres, museums and cinemas, as well as countless attractions and places of interest.
With its ponies, protected natural beauty and thousand years of history, the New Forest is Bournemouth's back yard and for those of you of a literary bent, Thomas Hardy country is just a few miles away (Bournemouth being Hardy's Sandbourne). Continuing the themes, the tranquillity of the nearby isle of Purbeck was the inspiration for Enid Blyton's Famous Five adventures.
Add to that the National Trust sanctuary of Poole’s Brownsea Island and the historic charms of Christchurch and its famous Priory and you have the perfect backdrop for your holiday - with accommodation from Bournecoast being the cherry on the cake.
