If you want to spend idyllic days on Bournemouth's award-winning Blue Flag Southbourne Beach, then this home is perfect – it's under a five-minute walk to golden sandy heaven. The fantastic independent shops and restaurants of Southbourne High Street are within the same walking distance, so you have the best of both worlds. Back at your apartment, we love the coral and palm fabrics, as well as the vibrant colours evoking a tropical paradise – a reminder we're on the balmy south coast. Head outside, and you'll find a courtyard bathed in natural light, the ideal place to bask in the Dorset sun or have an alfresco lunch. Not that you'll be spending much time here, we doubt, with all the wonderful attractions right on your doorstep.

Local guide
About Christchurch
As the waters of England’s south coast wind inwards from the sea, they form the River Avon and the River Stour, which then split up to house Christchurch right in the middle. Beyond the salty spray of the beaches, this little town is peppered with Norman castles and ancient heritage.
