    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

    • Judith - Verified booking

      I’ll just mention a couple of negatives but must emphasise that we were very pleased with the accommodation overall.

      Firstly, we arrived two days before the mixed recycling bin needed to be put out. The bin was full to overflowing and whoever had filled it was not very particular about what they had put in it. The general waste bin was due for collection the week after we had left. This bin was also completely full on arrival and therefore we had nowhere to put our rubbish. Secondly, there were three beds in the second bedroom but nowhere to hang or store clothes. We had to keep our clothes in our suitcases whereas we would have preferred to have at least a chest of drawers to store our clean clothes. One small issue was that there were no egg cups so we had to improvise when my 6 year old granddaughter had a dippy egg. The flat was spacious and the garden was lovely if not well maintained. The lady at 8A (upstairs flat) grumbled at us for using the front door to unpack the car because it made her two dogs bark. Another neighbour said we were too noisy when using the basket ball hoop. I guess these people would rather not have holiday groups in a property next door. The bathrooms were modern and clean. There was a plentiful supply of hot water and there was a good selection of games and puzzles for adults and children. The location was quiet and reasonably secluded and just a ten minute walk to the cliff top or a good sized Sainsbury’s. We were very happy with the property and would book again especially because we have family living in Boscombe Spa Road which is a 15/20 minute walk away.

    • 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.

    • 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'...
