The location is highly praised for being within easy walking distance to both Westbourne and Bournemouth town centres, as well as the beach, making it an ideal spot for visitors.
Guests find the apartment spacious, comfortable, and homely, with quality appliances and plush furnishings. However, the lack of a grab rail in the shower was a concern for one guest.
The apartment is well-equipped with modern amenities, though guests have suggested the addition of appliance instructions, normal saucepans, a baking tray, and a non-slip bath mat. The open security gate and key box placement were minor issues.
While guests have made suggestions for improvements, there are no specific mentions of gifts or thoughtful touches provided by the hosts, so it is not possible to score this category.

Michael
It was lovely and warm and felt quite homely. It was as near as perfect as it could have been. Very convenient for walking down to the town and coast. Would definitely stay again.

The off street parking was a big bonus,. I would have liked some slightly clearer instructions on the heating but this was not a great concern for us as the weather was fairly mild. Weâve stayed near Westbourne previously so know of the local facilities. Chez Fredâs (F&C ) was as good as ever.

Only minor issues were no normal saucepans and baking tray if you want to cook in and a non slip bath mat would have been nice. The key box could be placed in a higher position as anyone with disabilities who could not bend down easily would find it difficult. Apart from that would definitely recommend it.
