Getting there

Around the building
The beach is at the bottom of the cliff: take the zig-zag path or the West Cliff Lift down to the promenade. Bournemouth Pier is 10 minutes along the seafront, the town centre 15 minutes, and Westbourne, with its independent cafés, delis and boutiques, 5 to 10 minutes the other way. Several Flexie Perks partners are within that walk; the current list is at flexiestays.com/perks.
Things to do
Beaches, coastal walks, the pier, the Oceanarium, Sandbanks, Poole, Christchurch and the New Forest are all covered in the Bournemouth Guide, written by the team who live here. For a wet day with children, the Oceanarium and the Russell-Cotes Museum are both by the pier.
