Charming, vibrant and beautiful – Bournemouth is one of the hidden gems along England's south coast. Luckily, this cosy annex is perfectly located to explore the cute streets and glistening waterfront.

You can walk to the beach or town centre in less than twenty minutes, giving you unfeigned freedom for your holiday. The gorgeous beach radiates underneath the summer sun, perfect for lazy days sunbathing on the golden sand.

If you're more of a city dweller than beach bum, head to the copious cafes, bars and restaurants that shape the centre. Enjoy your morning coffee at an authentic cafe, peruse the shops in the afternoon then settle down for dinner in the evening. The town welcomes you take the day at your own pace.

After a day of sunbathing or exploring, the comfort of the apartment provides a restful retreat. If you feel like staying in, utilise the modern kitchen to rustle up some fresh seafood. For cosy nights snuggled up, retire to the bedroom and feel the gentle warmth of the fireplace.

Home truths:
* There is free parking on the street outside
* The apartment is part of a main house, but is fully self-contained
* The walk to the pier is quite hilly, so it may be best to take a taxi if you're not up for walking
