  • "We had an absolutely amazing stay at Shell Cottage."

    Honestly, it was even better than many hotel rooms in Bournemouth. Everything was finished to such a high standard – from the incredibly comfortable mattress and quality bedding to all the thoughtful little touches throughout the studio. The cottage was also incredibly quiet and peaceful – we couldn’t hear a thing, which made it perfect for a truly relaxing break. The host was fantastic, so friendly and always on hand if we needed anything, which made the whole experience even more relaxing. The location was perfect – just a 5-minute walk to the beautiful Alum Chine Beach, and we also enjoyed walking up to Westbourne for shops and a wander. We had such a lovely mini break here. The cottage is beautiful, cosy, and well cared for. We would definitely stay again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area!

The property

Shell Cottage is a charming single-storey retreat set in Bournemouth, offering a relaxed base for two by the coast.

Inside, the studio-style living space is thoughtfully arranged, with a comfortable sitting area to unwind after a day by the sea, a handy kitchen for preparing simple meals, and a dining space to enjoy them at an easy pace.

The super king-size bed provides a restful spot to recharge after exploring the shoreline, while the shower room, complete with a walk-in shower, basin and WC, adds a practical finish to the interior.

Outside, an enclosed patio with seating offers a pleasant place to enjoy a morning coffee or an evening drink, while off-road parking keeps things straightforward throughout your stay.

With a shop nearby, a pub within easy reach, and Alum Chine beach just a short walk away, everything is set for a fuss-free seaside break.

From the doorstep, Bournemouth boasts its lively pier, attractive gardens and long stretch of sandy beach.

Nearby, Poole is well worth a visit for its bustling harbour and waterfront spots to eat, while Christchurch offers a slower pace with riverside walks and historic charm.

For a change of scenery, Milford on Sea provides further coastal views and a laid-back village feel.

Shell Cottage makes a fine base for making the most of Dorset’s shoreline.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £150.
