Holiday Cottages in Bournemouth

Bournemouth is a lively Victorian seaside resort town on the Jurassic coast. With entertainment around the beach and excellent bars, pubs and restaurants, there is something for everyone in Bournemouth. Explore our selection of last-minute cottages and organise the perfect last-minute getaway for you and your friends or family.

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

  • Penelope - Verified booking

    We absolutely loved our stay at West Ridge.

    What an incredibly beautiful house and gardens, it was a real privilege to be in. The house has such a lovely energy, we really got the feeling that it has been loved and appreciated, which made it so easy to feel at home there, whilst appreciating the beauty and history all around you. There are so many toys available for children which was really appreciated, ours only ended up playing with a handful of them, but there are games for all ages which is great for rainy days. The bathroom upstairs is huge, super clean, modern and practical for kids, making bath time nicer than any holiday we've been on. The whole house was spotlessly clean and the beds were comfortable with good quality white sheets. West Ridge is a short walk from the beach east of Boscombe, which is absolutely stunning and much less crowded than Bournemouth beach, and there are ice creams, toilets and water which is perfect for long days on the beach. It is also an easy drive to Christchurch and Mudeford Quay, and really close to Southbourne. We had an absolutely brilliant week at West Ridge, with many wonderful memories to cherish. We will definitely try to stay here again if we return to Bournemouth. Thank you for such a lovely stay.

  • Michael - Verified booking

    The house and garden were fantastic and it's position close to the beach and the cliff top pathway is ideal.

    There's a lot to do and Bournemouth has so much to offer and is very well looked after and we had a great week. Our only slight disappointment was the lack of thought that seemed to have gone into providing for holidaymakers. In many similar properties you are provided with a booklet of information about how to operate equipment etc - using the cooker was far from straightforward, details of local shops, supermarkets, facilities, restaurants, takeaways, places to visit, what to do etc. Also, some of the basic things, like salt and pepper for example, weren't provided and it was odd having many of the most accessible cupboards in the kitchen locked. The bin in the kitchen was woefully inadequate for such a large property. Having lots of very nice ornaments on show does help to enhance the general ambience of the property but if you have young children it can be a source of anxiety. Some warning of all the locked rooms and cupboards would also have been polite we feel. Rather than a holiday home, it felt a bit like a private house that we were intruding upon. With a little bit more thought it could easily have been a 5 star rating.

  • Andrew - Verified booking

    This is a good property with outstanding features.

    The house is ideally located being just a short walk to Boscombe beach as well as an easy walk, or short drive, into both Boscombe and Bournemouth. There is good, easily accessible, off road parking. The rooms are spacious, with tasteful period furnishings and extremely comfortable beds. Each of the three bedrooms has good storage space, although the master bedroom would benefit from having bedside tables. There is just one bathroom available, however, this was not a problem for a party of five adults, particularly as there are wash-basins in two of the bedrooms. Having USB charging sockets on most of the power socket points is a real bonus. The quiet, well-maintained garden is outstanding to sit-in at any time of the day. All rooms were cleaned and maintained to a high standard. Whilst the kitchen is very well-equipped, this coupled with too many locked cupboards, resulted in there being very little free space to store food items. It's a property that we highly recommend and hope to return to in future.

  • Philip - Verified booking

    This "cottage" was more like a house.

    To access it, it was necessary for us to drive carefully up and down the steep hill, and, steer carefully in and out of the narrow parking bays which we found to be stressful, yet bays were always available for us. The cottage was modern, spacious, well-furnished, and, clean. Excellent modern full-length wardrobes, very comfortable beds, and, an extremely quiet area at night. However, the bedroom blinds do not block out the light so this aspect was disappointing to our sleep. Wonderful views of the hills from the master bedroom. On occasion, we dined in the patio back garden along with usual noises from a residential estate. The kitchen spotlights flicker erratically, however this is a minor point. We enjoyed visits to Swanage, the Steam Railway was fab as was Corfe Castle, Studland Bay, and Durlston Castle. The Pier Head restaurant in Swanage served us superb seafood dishes.

  • 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.
