About this apartment rental

Stunning Beach Holiday Apartment, only a few minutes walk to the award winning Alum Chine beach which has once again been awarded the prestigious Blue Flag award for its world class pristine golden sands, excellent water quality and safe bathing. We welcome well behaved dogs. Alum chine beach is one of the few dog friendly beaches even during the summer months.

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.

The Anchorage has two double bedrooms, one with a King size bed and the other with two single beds that can be joined to form a king size bed if requested, in the lounge is a large L shaped sofa that sleeps two people comfortably . The Apartment offers all the modern conveniences and, as it has all been recently replaced, everything is in perfect order. From the balcony as well as being able to see the sea, there are also amazing views over the tree tops of the famous chine.

It is ideally situated, making it the perfect base to explore the area by car or bike, such as the world famous Jurassic coast and the beaches and heathlands of Studland bay, only a short ferry ride away. For the more active holiday makers, water sports and golf facilities are within easy reach. For the families with young children Alum Chine has a wonderful play area right next to the lovely beach. The apartment lies within a twenty minute walk along the promenade to Bournemouth pier or 5 minutes if you catch the noddy train to all the attractions of Bournemouth town centre including fabulous shopping, restaurants and bars. A ten minute stroll up the tree lined chine takes you to Westbourne village again offering quaint shops, good restaurants and bars as well as a Marks and Spencer food hall, a Tesco express, a butchers and bakers etc. Heading West along the promenade will take you to the stunning Sandbanks beach with all its water sports and recently opened Rick Stein's latest restaurant amongst others.

Cycling along the promenade is permitted all year round except in the summer months July 1st to 30th September it is restricted to before 9am and after 6pm the perfect way to explore Studland. We have excellent transport links: 20 minutes from Hurn airport, frequent train links to and from London Waterloo (1.3 miles to Branksome station, 1.9 miles to Bournemouth station), National express from Victoria to Bournemouth train station every day and of course good road links with the M3, M27 down to the south coast.

The apartment is one of six in the block. There are people above and below so you will have a sense of people around you. It is an old house so you may hear people.

This property is not suitable for Hen or Stag weekends or young adults hoping to take advantage of the night life Bournemouth has to offer as it is located in a quiet residential area with neighbours in close proximity.

This was our 2nd time staying at the Anchorage, I doubt it will be the last. The apartment is lovely, with great views, and a perfect location with the beach a 5 minutes walk away and Westbourne just down the road.

Great family apartment

Great family apartment

We stayed at the anchorage for a long weekend over Easter and couldn't have wished for a better place to stay. The location is perfect, with the beach a 5 minute walk away, a lovely view overlooking the chine, and Westbourne just down the road. The apartment was fantastic, a lovely, comfortable and well designed space for a family. We would definitely recommend, and would certainly go back again

This is an elegant and well equipped property and suited us well. The only minor quibble was the single beds. They were comfortable but narrow. Unfortunately, our sat nav was not working. We reached Westbourne without problems but had difficulty finding the road. It would have been helpful to have these details in advance. However, over all we thoroughly enjoyed our mstay.

Wonderful family holiday

Wonderful family holiday

Arriving at the property we were able to get straight in, dumping our things to get straight to the beach which was a five minute walk away. The kitchen and lounge were much larger than expected and the many windows let in lovely light throughout the day. During our stay the fridge door broke, but this was replaced the next day without any fuss. Helen and Martin were very welcoming and we felt reassured by their approach to Covid-19. We had a lovely stay and would definitely return for another holiday.

Perfect apartment, perfect location

Perfect apartment, perfect location

A clean and well presented apartment in a great location, perfect for the beach and only a short walk to Bournemouth and Westbourne village. The building doesn’t inspire but when you enter the apartment it’s like an oasis out of an interior magazine; it didn’t disappoint. The lemon drizzle cake on arrival was a lovely touch from the owners and was delicious. We’d recommend this property but in doing so we hope it’s available next time we want to stay!

Great location, stones throw from the beach!

We had a fab 4 night stay in this lovely apartment. The apartment itself is lovely, spacious and comfortable, and quiet. Comes with allocated off road parking, which was needed over the bank holiday, as the weather was fab and it was VERY busy! Just a 5 minute amble to the beach, and the chine is directly behind the apartment. Highly recommend.

A very enjoyable short stay in a lovely apartment. Lemon drizzle cake was a lovely welcome. The apartment is in such a nice location backing onto Alum Chine, a short walk from the beach and easy walk to the centre of Bournemouth, and also the very nice and convenient Westbourne shops.

Home away from home

Home away from home

A light and airy apartment, in a beautiful location, that suited us well. A great place to hang out with our daughter and son-in-law and their little 2.5 year old daughter. There was even a little bed made ready for her, with which she was 'well pleased' :) The beach toys and towels came in very handy too. A short walk to the beach front, plus a fabulous children's play area - everything we needed for her introduction to a sandy beach. Would definitely recommend The Anchorage! Thanks to Helen and Martin for a lovely stay - you answered our questions promptly and helped make our stay very pleasant.

Enjoyable stay.

Enjoyable stay.

I will be honest – our initial impressions were not great – the exterior of the building belies the interior and my heart sank. Thankfully the moment the door opened my worries were put to rest. It really is a lovely apartment with a fabulously comfortable living / kitchen / dining area with beautiful views over the trees at the back. The bedrooms are fine – front facing so you need the blinds down. The bathroom is small but newly decorated and very clean. The location – five minutes walk from Alum Chine beach and Vesuvio restaurant - makes it a very good choice for a holiday apartment. The owners are delightful and quick to help us get the heating on. If I were to be critical the linens, towels and outside furniture could use a refresh. But at the price point exceptional value.

The pictures don’t do it credit! Beautiful apartment!

My first impressions on walking in were ‘wow I want to live here’! Such a beautiful, light, airy apartment with a big open plan living area and big squashy sofas. I stayed with my 3 children who also loved it! The walk to the beach is 5 minutes and to the pier is 15 but there’s a little road train you can hop on to speed it up! The beach is quiter than the town centre and there is an adventure play ground for the kids. I would highly recommend this apartment to anyone looking for a relaxing beach side stay.

Truly lovely place to holiday

Truly lovely place to holiday

This was our fifth stay at the Anchorage (which in itself probably says it all!) so there is probably very little I can add to the five reviews already done however! the Anchorage is in a PERFECT location, is a beautiful apartment and Helen and Martin are wonderful hosts (owners).
