    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. It's no surprise that it's a firm favourite with groups of friends, couples and those with kids.

    Bournemouth cottages provide a comfortable and convenient base for exploring the town and its surroundings. 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

    • Minati - Verified booking

      The property is situated in an excellent location, minutes away from the sea and sand.

      And having a designated parking facility was a great help. We felt the owner has put a lot of thought into what makes a good holiday home, especially for a family. - Upon arrival, we found a welcome gift which was so touching. - Very clean and spacious place. - Comfortable beds with plenty of storage space in the bedrooms. - The kitchen was well stocked with plenty of utensils and saucepans. We were pleasantly surprised to also see the provision of plastic cups and bowls for young children to use. - The dishwasher was a lifesaver with 2 children to look after. (From past holidays we knew that things like toilet rolls, kitchen rolls and bin bags are provided to cover for a couple of days, then it is the guest’s responsibility to buy more. So we were prepared for that). - Many extras were provided during our stay: Beach towels (in addition to the towels in the rooms), Family board games (which we really looked forward to in the evenings) Bucket and spade (which my son was delighted with). Foldable clothes airer - Loved the different pieces of art works around the property; the wall hangings and seaside models. - Very good wifi, although phone signal can be weak depending on the network provider so used Whatsapp to make most of our calls. - We think this property makes use of a system boiler with a tank. So while the water pressure is amazing, once the amount of hot water runs out from the tank, you will have to wait for the boiler to heat more. We found that a full tank was sufficient for 2 adults and 2 children to take a shower one after another, but not when someone takes a bath. Whilst this property is not advertised for disabled people, we just wanted to add that we have a daughter who is completely reliant on her wheelchair. Because the property was on the ground floor with the patio door opening to the front, it made things much easier when bringing her in and out of the property. Also, the sofa was large enough for us to keep her comfortably seated in one corner with plenty of cushions to support her. And the carpet was a very good size to give her body a good stretch and exercises. There is the Fisherman’s Walking path which takes you to the sand area. It took us about 8 minutes walking to get there. And whilst the path is wheelchair accessible, the route back can be quite steep to push a wheelchair so we would recommend using the Fisherman’s Walk Cliff Lift which is open till about 5pm. If you want a wheelchair person to enjoy more of the beach, then we recommend traveling to Boscombe Pier. There you will find a Mobi mat installed on the sand (on Undercliff Drive close to the roundabout), which allows the wheelchair person to get closer to the sea but still being on the sand. And if they want to be in the actual water, then you can hire a beach wheelchair from the Boscombe Seafront Office. Recommendations: - To have details of the nearest laundry in the guest book. We use google to search for everything but for those who may not have a smartphone would benefit from this information. - Another clothes airer for the other bedroom would be really nice. - The only thing that was a bit awkward in the property was the bathroom basin. It is a really spacious bathroom, so we were surprised at the very narrow basin. It is sufficient for washing hands but not washing the face. We think this was probably something installed by the developer across all the flats in the block rather than the individual owners. A slightly bigger basin would make it brilliant.

    • Trevor - Verified booking

      This was our first visit to Bournemouth since our honeymoon 49 years ago and we enjoyed every minute of our stay.

      The house was exactly as expected with the bonus of the use of the garage so we were able to keep our car safe thank you. The house was very clean and had every thing we needed for our stay including a brilliant washer dryer which I used a couple of times. The only down side was the lounge suite was a bit uncomfortable it would have been better if the seat backs were higher for support but it didnt spoil things. It was great that we had a nice big garden to chill out in and wasnt overlooked so really quiet and peaceful. There are plenty of places to eat and a supermarket is easy to get to so no worries finding provisions. It was great that the buses were easy to find and really frequent so no need to drive everywhere and we could use our bus passes. I would definatly recommend to anyone wanting a relaxing holiday near the sea.

    • Laura - Verified booking

      Mary Bowes Terrace exceeded our expectations.

      It was a great base for a family holiday; especially being so close to the beach. We had a lovely week and found the apartment to be very comfortable, clean and well kept with lovely decor. We appreciated the fresh bread, jam and milk on arrival and the ‘forget-me-not’ basket with useful items. Our children also made good use of the ‘boogie boards’ and beach equipment - a nice touch. Having our own parking space right outside and being able to load/ unload through the patio doors made arriving/ departing so much easier. Overall, we would thoroughly recommend this apartment to couples and families alike. Thank you for a wonderful holiday!

    • Yvette - Verified booking

      We had a great stay and our minor difficulties (power short due to toaster and working out how the heating worked) were sorted very quickly by a responsive owner (thank you!

      ) Having easy access to car park via patio door was a real bonus for my octogenarian parents too. Location was excellent - we visited Poole (highly recommend the pub for fish lunch), Christchurch, Wimborne, Ringwood etc - all within short drives. If I can make a positive observation, I think a few more instructions in the “manual” would be a good addition. Especially relating to heating (manual/automatic settings etc), TV (we struggled to get terrestrial Live TV, but eventually found ITV via ITVX), recycling eg glass? What to do ref linen - ie strip beds or not?

    • Katrina - Verified booking

      We had an excellent stay in the house and it was all furnished to a high standard and very clean on arrival.

      There was only 2 of us but a big space for a family and two bathrooms and one downstairs w/c. The outside area was also a bonus and the car space is a luxury in Poole and easy to goi out and return. . The property is overlooking the quay which is a nice and bustling area with plenty going on. Lots of boat trips around the area. Poole itself has many bars, pubs and restaurants all within 10 minutes walk. The old town is lovely although a small area. I would highly recommend this house to friends and family and would not hesitate to book again if staying in the area.
