It is decorated in nice neutral shades. On arrival there was a lovely Lemon cake and fresh flowers in a vase and milk in the fridge. It felt really homely and welcoming. This is the second time we have stayed in one of Helenâs apartments and it certainly didnât disappoint. Itâs only a short walk along the street to the beach or a nice walk through the Chine to the seafront. Itâs set in the middle so a lovely walk to Bournemouth pier one way and a nice stroll to Sandbanks the other. We would definitely recommend this apartment to our friends and family and yes we certainly would stay here again. Thank you Helen and family for making our stay happy and comfortable. Debbie.

Very spacious with lovely neutral decor and everything you need for a comfortable stay. The owners left a home baked cake and fresh flowers for our arrival which was a lovely treat. Communication and helpfulness from the owners was faultless. The location was absolutely perfect for us as the dog friendly beach was a short stroll along the promenade. We also found that many of the restaurants were also very accommodating if you have a four legged friend. A perfect base for exploring this stunning part of the country.
