Open plan arrangement made it a great space for socialising as a large group.

Bathroom extractor fans weren’t great, shower water pressure was poor.

Comfortable, welcoming and ideal for a festive break We had a really lovely stay at Peartrees while meeting friends and enjoying some Christmas shopping in Bournemouth. The house felt warm and welcoming from the moment we arrived and was clearly very well cared for. The beds were incredibly comfortable, which made a big difference after long days out. We liked the eco feel of the property – it was nice to stay somewhere that’s clearly trying to be more sustainable without it feeling over the top or inconvenient. The weather wasn’t great one afternoon, so we made good use of the basement cinema room, which was cosy and perfect for settling in with a film. The hot tub was another highlight – clean, hot and very relaxing in even the weather was not too bad. The location worked well for us. Boscombe beach is much closer than expected and Southbourne, with its great restaurants and cafés, is an easy 20-minute walk. We’d happily stay again.

The facilities and size of property was great for 8 adults
