A lovely, spotlessly clean apartment, beautifully furnished and with everything we needed in the way of equipment and utensils for a self-catering holiday - so much more than just the basics. Great attention to detail by the owners. The flowers, wine and chocolates were a lovely surprise on arrival - thank you so much.
Great service from the moment we booked, right through to departure, and really good communications with the owner. The whole process was stress-free.
The weather was ever so hot when we arrived, and we feared that the lack of air conditioning might be a problem, especially being up on the top floor in the 'penthouse' so to speak, but with plenty of windows open it proved to be not only light and airy, but also comfortably cool.
A special mention for the fabulously comfortable beds (both bedrooms furnished with large king side beds). I suffer from chronic lower back pain and the one thing I dread when going away on holiday is a fortnight sleeping - or not - in increasing discomfort as the holiday progresses. So pleased to say that this was not the slightest problem during our stay; in fact I would go so far as to say that the mattresses were even more comfortable than our really expensive one at home!
This was a perfect holiday home for us, not just the apartment itself but also the location, which is less than a 15 minute drive from the sea front and Bournemouth Pier, but at the same time in a quiet area thus avoiding being disturbed by the more raucous night life that a stay in a seaside town can sometimes involve. Also just a short walk from a handy Waitrose, and a short drive from several retail parks as well as Bournemouth town centre and some lovely restaurants, pubs and well-renowned fish & chip shop in nearby Wimborne.
Our party comprised 2 adults and one teenager (myself and my husband and our 15 year-old daughter). We're all fit and healthy, so the flights of stairs up to the apartment which was on the 2nd floor was no problem for us. There is no lift. This might be a problem for anyone who can't easily climb that many stairs, so probably not suitable for the elderly, disabled or those with very young children. Again not a problem for us, but furniture included glass tables with some sharpish edges, so again not for young children. Otherwise though we'd have no hesitation in heartily recommending this property for a lovely holiday.
