    Would recommend a lamp in the living/kitchen area as main light too bright at night. Also a little table in the living area to put drink on

    Entrance door lock was a bit temperamental but ok once you’d worked out the knack to it. outdoor space would have been nice.

    clean, with everything you need for a short stay and included parking.

    If you have difficulties with stairs ensure you ask for a room on the ground floor. Being on the top floor was ok for us but something to keep in mind. Also even though their are spaces for 5 cars, it's not possible to fit 5 in the spaces, so be prepared to look for street parking if you are the last one to park (plenty available).

    Good location, Alum Chine is a great sandy beach and is walking distance. All other areas of interest are a short drive away which is great. Day trips to durdle door, Moor Valley country park easily done in half a day if needed. Great communication from the owners. Smart TV helped keep the little one entertained! Enjoyed our stay and would book again!

    no complaints

    The property is in an excellent location and in very good condition, with clean and comfortable rooms. It’s facilities are modern and everything worked well, features that I liked about the property is that the bathroom had great water pressure so you can have a lovely shower after a day at the beach. There was also plugs next to the bed to charge your phone, and a large electric fan is provided in the rooms which was great as I visited in summer. We were greeted by the member of staff called Leticia on arrival who was helpful throughout our stay and answered any questions we had, she also left some cold complimentary drinks in the fridge for us which was a nice touch. Location wise the property is excellent as alum chine beach is a 5 minute walk down the chine which the property is next to. There are cafes, restaurants and public toilets all within a 10-15 minute walk along the beach. Bournemouth town and pier is also about a 15-20 min walk along the beach so there is access to everything. You could also walk up to sandbanks Poole if you wanted to from this location.

    The fridge lacked an ice box for storing ice cream and making ice cubes for drinks.

    The apartment was so spacious, comfortable and well equipped. It was only a short 5-10 minutes walk to a fabulous beach. Off road parking was a real plus point. The bed was so comfortable and feather pillows from heaven.

    Only small issue was the fold up bed was uncomfortable but this is such a small thing considering this property far exceeded our expectations. It was so clean I was delighted, the decor was beautiful and the two bottleS of beer left in the fridge along side milk were a very welcomed touch. I absolutely recommend this beautiful accomodation.

    So clean we were delighted. Beautiful property within easy walk to the beach.

    As we were in the loft conversion the roof eaves on one side of the bed would be awkward if you were tall but luckily we are not. The stairs when you are arriving and leaving with luggage etc.

    Alum Chine is a lovely quiet part of Bournemouth and the guest house was 5 mins walk to the beach. The rooms were clean and the kitchen was well equipped. The shower was great and the guest towels are nice and big. The property has wi-fi and two smart tv's. We were also allowed to let the dog stay with a £20 excess.

    They could have provided a cloth for cleaning surfaces etc. There was only a tea towel made available. More light over the cooker would have been helpful. There was none.

    Great location, not far from beach or town. It was a clear apartment with a good range of equipment. Some free drinks and also milk were made available.
