Reasons to Holiday in Bournemouth

Beaches

Bournemouth Beach is a seven-mile stretch of sand that has been one of Britain's favourite beaches since Victorian times. The beach has a host of water sports, ranging from fishing and sailing to jet skiing, surfing, and water skiing. There is a 300-metre pier complete with amusement arcade, rock climbing, and even ziplining. The beach has excellent facilities with showers, toilets, cafes and lifeguards, all at regular intervals. Bournemouth Beach has been the town's main attraction for over a century, and it doesn't look like that will change. So explore some of our fantastic cottages only minutes from the beach and book your last-minute beach holiday with your friends or family. With our simple booking system, you can book without fuss, and be sure you are getting the best deal available with our best price guarantee.

Activities

Narrowing down the best things about Bournemouth is tricky because there are so many options. If you're with friends, this seaside resort town does not disappoint when it comes to nightlife, with bars, pubs and clubs lasting well into the morning, with the O2 Academy taking centre stage. If you are with your family, everyone can enjoy a day's activities with art galleries, an Oceanarium, and museums such as the Bournemouth Natural Science Museum or Science Zone. The pier and the fairground behind it are great fun for the kids, with traditional rides and games as well as relaxing on the Bournemouth Observation Wheel. Bournemouth is a town made for everyone to enjoy, and there is a wide selection of Last Minute Cottages for you to choose from. The perfect last-minute cottage in Bournemouth is waiting just for you. If you need any help booking, call our market-leading customer services team.

Where to Stay in Bournemouth

If you are looking for a cottage surrounded by activity, the liveliest location is near the pier. The further you move away from the pier, the quieter it becomes. So, you can still enjoy a beach holiday in Bournemouth without the buzz that comes with the town centre.

Frequently Asked Questions about Bournemouth

Q. How popular for holidays is Bournemouth compared to other places in Dorset?

A: Bournemouth is a popular holiday spot for obvious reasons, but it isn't as popular with Last Minute Cottages bookers as Swanage, Weymouth and Dorchester.

Q. What is the average price for a holiday cottage in Bournemouth?

A: Our recent booking data tells us that on average people pay £46 per person per a night to stay in Bournemouth. Though we offer properties at a range of price points and costs do vary at different times of the year.

Q. Is Bournemouth a popular place for family holidays?

A: The long, sandy beach is always a big draw for families but our booking data suggests more family-orientated breaks happen in places like Weymouth, Swanage and Bridport, while couples and grown-up groups are better suited to make the most of the nightlife in a larger town like Bournemouth.

Q. Is Bournemouth a good place to take your dog on holiday?

A: Although you will find plenty to see and do with your four-legged friend in Bouremouth is it less popular than other places like Lyme Regis and Bridport for those who pack their pooch.

Q. When should I book to get the best deal on a holiday cottage in Bournemouth?

A: Last Minute Cottages customers tend to book their stay in Bournemouth a whole two months before they come to stay. So in order to increase your chances of getting a great mix of choice and price, we would recommend booking before that if you can.

What our customers say about their holidays

  • Mr Tungate - Verified booking

    What a beautiful holiday let! Just got home from a fantastic week at this property. The location is amazing with gorgeous sea views and only a few minutes to the beach or High St. There is also a lovely park across the road. Swanage is a beautiful little seaside town with great independent shops and cafes. It also has good access to other attractions such as Corfe Castle and Studlands driving or by bus. 20 mins up hill is Durlston Country Park which has stunning views. The road to the house is very steep so do be mindful but it helped burn off the chips and ice creams! On the ground floor there was a bedroom with single/double bunk bed, large TV, desk and wardrobe. The downstairs bathroom has a bath and shower over it and there is a small utility room with a washing machine, iron/ironing board airer and a small freezer. The cupboard had lots of handy items for cleaning and washing etc. Up on the first floor was the lovely light and airy living space with gorgeous views over the sea from the Juliette balcony and window. The living area was beautiful decorated and the paintings and wall decorations gave the house a lovely seaside feel. Lovely comfy chairs and sofas smart TV with surround sound, dining room table. We loved that there were lots of leaflets and info left for us about the local area and places to visit. he kitchen was very well equipped and had everything we needed for our stay. The master bedroom at the top of the house was just lovely and beautifully decorated! Very calm and peaceful with more stunning views to enjoy. The bed was lovely and comfy and the extras of a fan,hair dryer and reading material were great! Great dressing table and lots of wardrobe and cupboard space. The ensuite bathroom was fab with a bath and a shower cubicle. Lovely fluffy towels too! The whole house was exceptionally clean and very comfortable and with 3 teen daughters, it gave us all our own space. We had such a fantastic stay here and will definitely return! Highly recommend

  • Trevor - Verified booking

    This was our first visit to Bournemouth since our honeymoon 49 years ago and we enjoyed every minute of our stay.

    The house was exactly as expected with the bonus of the use of the garage so we were able to keep our car safe thank you. The house was very clean and had every thing we needed for our stay including a brilliant washer dryer which I used a couple of times. The only down side was the lounge suite was a bit uncomfortable it would have been better if the seat backs were higher for support but it didnt spoil things. It was great that we had a nice big garden to chill out in and wasnt overlooked so really quiet and peaceful. There are plenty of places to eat and a supermarket is easy to get to so no worries finding provisions. It was great that the buses were easy to find and really frequent so no need to drive everywhere and we could use our bus passes. I would definatly recommend to anyone wanting a relaxing holiday near the sea.

  • Rosaline - Verified booking

    We had a lovely stay over the Christmas and New Year period.

    The house was decorated with a tree and the outside looked spectacular with twinkling lights in abundance. Very spacious, comfortable and warm. The location is very peaceful too and only a short drive from shops, petrol stations and pubs. There was an issue for a few days with hot water but this was quickly resolved to our complete satisfaction. Tony and Dawn, the owners, live next door and are on hand if needed. I did not raise at the time as we have access to a home nearby for anything we need, but I would flag there is only one saucepan which has a lid which is inadequate, and perhaps an addition of a larger Pyrex type dish or two would be useful for anyone wanted to cook a roast with all the trimmings. We loved our stay and the property and hope we are fortunate to stay again in the future.

  • Anthony - Verified booking

    Lovely bungalow in a quiet cul-de-sac near the beach and very close to a good pub and walkable to local amenities.

    The welcome pack was much appreciated particularly the treats for the dog. Living area very comfortable although the tv is in a strange location. We liked the extra loose chairs when an alternative to a sofa is preferred. Bedrooms both comfortable and plenty of towels provided. Again the bedroom tv was strangely located not facing the bed. The toilets and bathrooms were very clean and modern. We did have to buy a few tea towels as these were not available and a pint glass or two and some larger mugs wouldn't go amiss. The garden is perfect with attractive raised beds, complete privacy and totally secure for dogs. Overall a fantastic property in a great location.

  • Mrs Scutt - Verified booking

    We had a fantastic stay at Hillcrest. Great location short walk from town, handy hints at a shortcut in the book inside the house. Such a well equipped property with everything you need and more for an easy and comfortable stay. We travelled with two small children and a small dog, great garden for them all to have a run in, the twin room was so cosy, ideal for the kids who also liked the novelty of having a TV in their room! (Would be just as comfortable for adults) The beach hut was a fantastic extra and worth every penny. Would recommend a stay here to anyone looking for a relaxed and comfortable stay in Swanage.
