Did you know that among our great selection of independent local restaurants we have Restaurant Roots with 3 AA rosettes to its name.
They were rated in the UK's top 100 restaurants this year (Harden's Guide) and we're so lucky to have it within walking distance of our holiday lets.
If you're looking for somewhere special to enjoy a great pre Christmas stay combined with great food then do check them and us out for late availability options.
This is Restaurant Roots £59 lunch menu - available Fridays and Saturdays. Sundays they do an exceptional roast. Fantastic wine pairings too.

It was Lisa & her family’s first stay at Hengistbury Reach (3 adults/1 teen/1 dog); 3nts for a pre Christmas family break by the sea & to visit nearby Bournemouth Christmas Tree Winderland & Market.
Having found us on Airbnb they already know to next time which ensures no third party booking fees & ensures best prices.

Took our 3yr old granddaughter to Discovery Village Role Play Centre. We love to test out and support new local businesses and can highly recommend this one, whether in the lead up to Christmas ( we & they still have some availability) or as a great indoor attraction anytime throughout the year 👍

Yesterdays arriving guests are very happy and the first to stay with our Christmas tree up.
“We are here and it's amazing, thank you so very much!!! ###🎄😄”
With both the Christmas tree & the year round twinkling fairy lights all around the whirlpool bath hot tub it’s definitely looking very festive… and it’s only a short walk to the beach.
Why not tie in a pre Christmas break with a visit to nearby Bournemouth Christmas Tree Wonderland & Market ( running til end Dec).
We unexpectedly have some last minute availability, including next weekend following a cancellation.
Don’t forget this weekend you can also save £50 using promo code BLACKFRIDAY. Minimum stay 2nts.

Thankyou Lucy for your lovely comments…it was great fun working together in the build up to prepare for a surprise birthday short break for Lucy’s partner.
From providing balloons, champagne, a banner over the hot tub… just ask and we can help you. Next time though we’d rather not have (storm) Bert along as an univited guest, but even that didn’t put a dampener on this weekend.
24/11/2024
Yes storm Bert has hit us here in Southbourne this weekend too. So having spent more time indoors than normal it’s given Nigel & I time to update our website ‘Local Area’ page which we’ve been meaning to do for sometime.
Take a look and let us know if there is anything you think is missing……?

Based on the south coast of England in Southbourne Dorset near the Hampshire border, and situated between Bournemouth and Christchurch, within 2-3hrs drive from the likes of London and Birmingham, stay in one of our holiday lets and enjoy all of the fantastic local amenities, with easy access to the hustle and bustle of Bournemouth town. If getting out in the open is more your thing then as well as blue flag sandy beaches you can explore Hengistbury Head and The New Forest.
We have two wonderful holiday lets to choose from, both have been finished and decorated to a very high standard.
Stourwood Corner in central Southbourne within 5min walk of beach and high street, is a spacious character, three large bedroom, two bathroom, ground floor accommodation with separate kitchen and reception room and the perfect choice for family/extended family stays.
Hengistbury Reach is a smaller two bedroom bungalow, with an open plan living area and a good sized secure garden with whirlpool bath hot tub, on the Christchurch side of Southbourne and within a short walk of both Hengistbury Head and the River Stour, ideal for couples and friends, as well as families, looking to spend time outdoors and in nature.
Whilst both properties are dog friendly we would recommend Hengistbury Reach if you have a larger dog and require secure outdoor space.
If required we will provide travel cots, high chair/booster seats, stair gate (Hengistbury Reach) a selection of age appropriate toys and games (including buckets and spades!) Also, not to forget your four-legged friend we can provide a dog crate and toys for them too! As well as saving space when you’re packing, children are always very excited to see new toys (particularly when lots of them have a holiday/seaside theme)!
With so much to explore our holiday lets are available to book 365 days a year. Depending on seasonality and celebrations we like to add little extras by way of decorations for example. If there is anything specific you require please let us know and we will do our best to help.
We are great believers in putting as much effort in with the small things, so as well as being beautifully furnished and well equipped you may also find a freshly baked local treat upon arrival, and with the milk in the fridge you can start to enjoy your stay from the start with tea and cake.
