If you’re looking for somewhere to holiday that offers you the freedom to choose your mealtimes and come and go as you please, self-catering is a great choice. It’s also ideal for larger groups, giving everyone the chance to use the facilities at their own convenience. Here in Bournemouth and the surrounding areas, we have a wide range of self-catering options to suit all budgets and tastes.

Bournemouth's Victorian history and heritage means that we’re lucky enough to be able to offer period properties on a variety of scales, from quaint coach houses to storeyed town houses and grand manors. With many situated on the clifftops or within walking distance of the seafront, you can step back in time for the quintessential British seaside holiday.

For a more contemporary feel, in keeping with the town’s cosmopolitan vibe, there are studio flats and modern apartments with stylish interiors. The central locations on offer make these properties the perfect base for discovering Bournemouth’s award-winning restaurants, chic cocktail bars, and vibrant nightlife.

Poole and Sandbanks

Our self-catering accommodation stretches into neighbouring Poole, including the affluent and world-famous Sandbanks area. You can enjoy stunning panoramic views of Poole Harbour, strolls along the golden sandy beaches, and sunsets that will take your breath away.

Christchurch

You’ll also find properties to the east in Christchurch, with its historic harbour and busy boating community filled with cosy holiday cottages, waterside apartments, and historic stays.

Bournemouth is a colourful and eventful destination with lots to see and do, so it’s perfect for holiday-goers who prefer to tailor every aspect of their stay, and self-catering is the perfect complement to a personalised break by the sea.
