Fantastic location, easy access to the sea at Eastcliff…

…Walking distance to Winton Banks shops; excellent access to Bournemouth station and Wessex Way, and only a few minutes drive from B'mth town centre.

A very leafy and pretty town with the most beautiful beaches for miles ...

... Shops are delightful as are the theatres, Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra resides here and restaurants, etc. Very close to New Forest which is easy to reach. Quality Hotels as well. Easy access to surrounding areas too.

Bournemouth is second to none. I went to Uni here and stayed - still here after 7 years ...

... Beautiful countryside, beaches, lots to do, good schools, excellent night life. There's no denying that it is expensive to live here - high council tax, high property prices and fairly low wages, but I think it's worth it otherwise I wouldn't still be here!

I also find people very friendly here compared to other places.

Fantastic!

Countryside or the beach? Both are 15 minutes away! M3 takes you to the smoke in only 2 hours.

We moved to Bourenmouth 2 years ago from London...

...and have never looked back. It is an excellent location for a growing family with a beautiful environment, masses to do and superb schools. It is an area for all ages and is getting better and better!
