Description

A fully equipped Beach Holiday Apartment, a few mins walk to the stunning Blue Flag Alum Chine beach and a 15 minute walk to Westbourne village.

We would like to reassure all our guests that we are taking Covid 19 extremely seriously. We have implemented changes to our already high cleaning standards. Once the apartment has been thoroughly cleaned with our usual products we will then be disinfecting the entire apartment with a hypochlorous acid spray ( 100% safe for humans, chemical free, non-toxic and all-natural ). Including all high touch surfaces, kitchen gadgets, cutlery, crockery, carpets and furnishings. All bed linen and towels will be washed at 60c . All beds and pillows have protectors which will also be replaced as part of our cleaning policy after each stay. We will then ventilate the rooms for a few hours before allowing new guests to enter. We would ask guests to remove shoes before entering the apartment to reduce any contamination. Hand gels and antibacterial soap will be provided.

It has two double bedrooms and a large L 'shaped sofa in the lounge that sleeps two people comfortably. From the balcony there are sea views and amazing views over the tree tops of the famous chine.

Getting around

If you do not want to use your car once you get here there is a Bus stop at the bottom of the Chine that takes you to various locations including Westbourne and Bournemouth. There is a noddy train that stops at Alum Chine and takes you into Bournemouth. Beryl Bikes can be collected at Alum Chine and left anywhere you please for a small fee, you just need to download the App. During the summer months there are restrictions on the promenade. A great day out is the Number 50 bus which you can hop on and off that takes you across the ferry to the Purbecks and all along the Jurassic coast. Details can be found in the flat when you get here.

My husband Martin and I live downstairs to the property. Although we are on hand at any time we tend to let you get on with your holiday. If you have any queries you can either call us or pop down.

Very close to beach on a pleasant road. Beautifully clean and nicely decorated. The whole apartment was bright and sunny with light flooding through the large windows.
