Cosy retreat for 1. Near beach/20 min walk to town

If your looking for something a little bit rustic, a little bit cute, a little bit little and a little bit different (for 1 person) you may have found it. If it's for business or pleasure - this is a little bit of offbeat! Its set in a lush garden in the tree lined East Cliff area of Bournemouth. You can pop to the beach or take a 20 minute stroll along the seafront to Bournemouth Towns metropolitan shops, theatres and bars. Easy access to the train/coach station. Photos by CaptivateByChloe

Beach, shopping, family activities, airport nearby

After a relaxing coffee, make a cooked brekky in the fully equipped kitchen to set the family up for a day of adventures. Head to the beach & play in the sea or enjoy the Oceanarium indoors. Drive to Moors Valley for activities like the mini steam railway & netted tree top play zone. Get to Tower Park for Splashdown, Lemur Landings & 10-pin bowling. If anyone’s still going, be at the local playground after a 2-minute walk. Squeeze those last bits of energy out & rest on the premium EMMA mattress
