Featuring an inviting hot tub, open-plan living, and a Smart TV with Sky, this charming retreat offers a perfect base for families or friends, with Smart TVs in the bedrooms and convenient access to local amenities.

Step into your new holiday base and meet the heart of the home, which is the open-plan living area.

This elegant space allows you to sit back and unwind on one of the two sofas whilst you see what is on the Sky channels on the wall-mounted Smart TV.

The designated chef can prepare meals in the well-equipped kitchen with a double electric oven and an electric hob.

Venture upstairs to discover the two beautifully presented bedrooms: a double room boasting a wall-mounted smart TV and a skylight window, perfect for stargazing from the comfort of your bed, and a spacious family room with two double beds, also equipped with a wall-mounted Smart TV for your entertainment.

Freshen up in the sleek wet room, featuring a walk-in shower, basin and WC, providing a contemporary touch to this charming abode.

Take a scenic drive to the bustling coastal town of Bournemouth, where you can stroll along the iconic Bournemouth Pier, explore the underwater world at the Oceanarium, or relax amidst the beautiful surroundings of Bournemouth Parks - Lower Gardens.

Your little ones will love a day out at Farmer Palmer's Farm Park, offering countless opportunities for interactive fun with the resident farm animals.
