    Self-catering holidays in Bournemouth

    As one of the UK's most popular seaside towns, Bournemouth sits on the south coast of Dorset. Here, you'll find award-winning sandy beaches, Bournemouth Pier, endless family-friendly activities, and plenty of bars, comedy clubs and restaurants in the town centre.

There are numerous holiday cottages available in and around Bournemouth, ranging from traditional properties to modern, luxury homes. Many of these cottages are located in peaceful, rural locations, with stunning views of the countryside. Being so close to the coast means that if you're searching for Bournemouth cottages with a sea view or by the beach, you're sure to find something to suit. Many holiday cottages in Bournemouth also come with outdoor space, such as gardens or patios, which are perfect for enjoying the town's mild climate and sunshine.

    What our customers say about their holidays

    • Faisal - Verified booking

      The building is not well sealed.

      Smoke from neighbours' fires made it into the property on almost every night of our stay. We ran an air purifier with a sensor that clearly monitored the pollutant ingress during these times. Who knows what it would have been like if we hadn't been running a purifier? I discovered one of the windows has a perished seal but that didn't seem to be the source of it. All relayed to the land-person who reacted like I was asking her for comments on the flavour profiles of mandarins from China vs. Japan. The property was not cleaned effectively before our arrival and it smacked of make-do: the air freshener sprayed excessively before our check-in the tell-tale. There was old food encrusted on place mats and the floors. An old toothbrush next to the nightstand. Pieces of food in the bedrooms. A smear of ketchup on the glass doors. Stains all over the kick-boards in the kitchen. The dishwasher still had water in it - not draining well obviously...we never tested it. Lamps were missing bulbs. Drawers were overflowing with out-dated tourism leaflets. The house feels like an old star being given a Vegas residency - you can slap as many gewgaws on it as you like but things don't quite look or feel as they used to. The plus sides: it had a highly effective heating system, the washing machine and fridge-freezer were good and the provision of crockery, pots and pans, cutlery, and other kitchen amenities were excellent: far better than many places you might stay. The decor is hideous. Cluttered. A caricature of a seaside home. It borders on the offensive. The furnishings are worn and stained. The towels are like drying yourself with a door mat.

    • Ben - Verified booking

      We had a lovely stay at Cranleigh Close.

      In the house the beds were really comfy, the shower was like a monsoon, x2 sofa's big enough for the four of us so we weren't squashed up in the evenings. Big fridge, dishwasher, conservatory/deck/garden were nice although we didn't use them much. For a family there's everything you need to make a 1 week stay easy, and you could set up home for a longer stay as well. The curtains were nice and heavy so we got a good nights sleep. The telly was also a decent size which was great - no squinting in the evening like some places! They might seem silly but to us, after a long day out with the kids, it's these small things that make for a relaxing, restful evening which is what we want on holiday. The location was good for going to Bournemouth, Poultons Park, and popping in to Christchurch for coffee. Not sure what the local high streets are like as we had dinner and drinks in as we have young kids, but a pretty good base if you want to travel to various spots in Dorset and Hampshire. This is an older house, so if you want to be somewhere that's newly renovated, go to a hotel. The owner has clearly put in lots of effort to make this a home, rather than just a house for many. Would happily stay again next time we head that way.

    • Trai - Verified booking

      A lovely location, and a very spacious property with a perfect secure garden for dogs.

      The beds were comfortable and we slept well. However, reading through the visitor comment book (which we used to leave comments before we left), it is clear that suggestions which would improve things for guests have not been addressed. The front bedroom would benefit from a blind or net as there is a busy junction directly outside as well as a lot of walkers meaning the curtains were closed throughout our stay. There was no welcome pack...which is the first time there has been no greeting having rented a lot of holiday let's over many years...perhaps a pint of milk might be nice? And perhaps a bottle of wash up liquid? Perhaps a spare bin liner? The enormous spa bath doesn't work....what a waste!...and the bathroom is looking rather tired and unloved. If the owner addressed some of the small niggles as suggested by myself and other guests, I might feel that I hadn't overpaid for my 5 night stay. On arrival, a phrase my Grandmother used to use came to mind and wouldn't shift...'Fur coat, and no knickers'...

    • Maria - Verified booking

      Our stay was lovely in an amazing area with a beautiful house, homely and comfortable.

      Our only down fall was we were told there will be essentials to start our stay, which i wouldn't class as the bare minimum. There was 1/4 of toilet roll between 2 toilets, no washing up liquid or spounge, 1 dishwasher tablet we had to hunt for and 1 bin bag between 2 bins. This was the only downfall as it means anyone staying will have to spend the extra £30 on things we could get in a hotel. A few dirty pans and pots in the cupboards and there was no mattress for the baby cot (more of a travel playpen) and had to use a folded duvet. Cleaning seemed abit rushed but facilites were great for longer stays. Overall a great place to stay and the owner warm and accommodating, will definitely book again knowing whats ahead thank you.

    • Mrs Raby - Verified booking

      Great location and house, with all bedrooms being en-suite. This is where it ends. The kitchen is small with a distinct lack of equipment available. We had to purchase items from the local supermarket. The fridge freezer is only suitable for a small family, not for the number of guests the house accommodates. There is also a distinct lack of interest from the owners if you have any issues. The heating wasn’t working properly during our stay and after a number of attempts to make contact we received one phone call which didn’t fix the problem and no follow up which is unacceptable. Such a shame as it wouldn’t take much to make this a good find
