    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

    • Penelope - Verified booking

      We absolutely loved our stay at West Ridge.

      What an incredibly beautiful house and gardens, it was a real privilege to be in. The house has such a lovely energy, we really got the feeling that it has been loved and appreciated, which made it so easy to feel at home there, whilst appreciating the beauty and history all around you. There are so many toys available for children which was really appreciated, ours only ended up playing with a handful of them, but there are games for all ages which is great for rainy days. The bathroom upstairs is huge, super clean, modern and practical for kids, making bath time nicer than any holiday we've been on. The whole house was spotlessly clean and the beds were comfortable with good quality white sheets. West Ridge is a short walk from the beach east of Boscombe, which is absolutely stunning and much less crowded than Bournemouth beach, and there are ice creams, toilets and water which is perfect for long days on the beach. It is also an easy drive to Christchurch and Mudeford Quay, and really close to Southbourne. We had an absolutely brilliant week at West Ridge, with many wonderful memories to cherish. We will definitely try to stay here again if we return to Bournemouth. Thank you for such a lovely stay.

    • Michael - Verified booking

      The house and garden were fantastic and it's position close to the beach and the cliff top pathway is ideal.

      There's a lot to do and Bournemouth has so much to offer and is very well looked after and we had a great week. Our only slight disappointment was the lack of thought that seemed to have gone into providing for holidaymakers. In many similar properties you are provided with a booklet of information about how to operate equipment etc - using the cooker was far from straightforward, details of local shops, supermarkets, facilities, restaurants, takeaways, places to visit, what to do etc. Also, some of the basic things, like salt and pepper for example, weren't provided and it was odd having many of the most accessible cupboards in the kitchen locked. The bin in the kitchen was woefully inadequate for such a large property. Having lots of very nice ornaments on show does help to enhance the general ambience of the property but if you have young children it can be a source of anxiety. Some warning of all the locked rooms and cupboards would also have been polite we feel. Rather than a holiday home, it felt a bit like a private house that we were intruding upon. With a little bit more thought it could easily have been a 5 star rating.

    • Andrew - Verified booking

      This is a good property with outstanding features.

      The house is ideally located being just a short walk to Boscombe beach as well as an easy walk, or short drive, into both Boscombe and Bournemouth. There is good, easily accessible, off road parking. The rooms are spacious, with tasteful period furnishings and extremely comfortable beds. Each of the three bedrooms has good storage space, although the master bedroom would benefit from having bedside tables. There is just one bathroom available, however, this was not a problem for a party of five adults, particularly as there are wash-basins in two of the bedrooms. Having USB charging sockets on most of the power socket points is a real bonus. The quiet, well-maintained garden is outstanding to sit-in at any time of the day. All rooms were cleaned and maintained to a high standard. Whilst the kitchen is very well-equipped, this coupled with too many locked cupboards, resulted in there being very little free space to store food items. It's a property that we highly recommend and hope to return to in future.

    • 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.

    • Diane - Verified booking

      Lovely property, beautiful gardens, great location, although it is more of a private home than a holiday home.

      It would be beneficial for many of the ornaments, personal belongings to be removed as we were constantly telling our 2 young children ‘do not touch’. The kitchen would certainly benefit from being de-cluttered as there is virtually no room/cupboards to store food as these were full/locked. The addition of an inside lock/bolt to the access door would have been re-assuring. Shoe protectors were provided and again with young children this is not always easy to adhere to. The addition of a second bathroom/shower is really expected these days and with a property this size catering for more than one family it is almost the norm. We had a very enjoyable holiday, but there are certainly many improvements that could be made by simplifying and removing a lot of the unnecessary furnishings.
