The house was in a lovely position overlooking the sea and beach. The view from the terrace was super. House was clean, tidy and well equipped. A 5 minute walk down to the car park and beach was worth it. A dog friendly beach. Climbing back up took longer. Once on the beach it was a flat 10 minute walk to Alum or Branksome Chine. A 25 minute walk into Bournemouth.

Only downside was the loud music from the beach on Saturday night until midnight. Not sure if this happens every week.

Views from the back of the property. Loads of space downstairs. Parking. Huge entrance hall gives extra play space for 4 and 2 year old.

Came home with a sore head caused by 2 low chandeliers downstairs with sharp spikes protruding from the bottom. Ended up tying balloons to them to avoid the collisions. We were a party of 10; 7 adults and 3 children aged 14, 4 and 2. The only place we could all sit together was around the dining table. The lounge only has seating for 6. The supply of glasses is ridiculous. There are 40 to 50 champagne glasses, but only 5 or 6 for water/squash etc.. No pint glasses, biggest drinking vessel left after the glasses had been taken are coffee mugs. OK, the beer still tastes the same, but surely some thought and common sense could be applied. The property is described as "beach front". By no stretch of the imagination is that correct. The quick route to the beach is via a massive set of steps and footpath with a steep ascent/descent of about 100 feet. If you're young enough and fit enough that may be ok, but with two 70 year olds, a push chair and a four year old the route via the road is the only option taking 15 to 20 minutes.
