Ruhe und Schönheit am Meer - Strandwohnung

We fell in love with the seaside spirit here in the Bournemouth area. With Sandbanks to one end of the peninsula and the lively Bournemouth pier at the other, there are many beautiful Chines in-between in which to enjoy all this vast beach has to offer.
Nearby Durley Chine is at the bottom of a beautiful cul-de-sac which, at the end, has the most breath-taking view of trees leaning out into the sea. We felt like we were in the Amalfi Coast when we first saw this view!
The apartment itself has many original period features, with high ceilings and a secluded rear garden; perfect for barbecues, al fresco evenings and a space in which to relax.
I have really enjoyed creating the interior space inside this apartment so that it is a calm yet interesting place to return to after the the day at the beach or a bike ride in the nearby New Forest. My favourite details are the chinoiserie silk walls, upholstery from British heritage brands, restored antique Chateau doors and sumptuous linens from Feather and Black. Little luxuries make all the difference - you are on holiday, after all!

Here are some useful links to find out more about what Durley Chine and the surrounding areas can offer:

Durley Chine Beach
Durley Chine Beach is the situated at the bottom of Durley Gardens - just a a few minutes' walk from the property, at the bottom of the steps. It is also located just a 10 minute walk west along the promenade from the hustle and bustle of Bournemouth Pier. The Blue Flag Award beach has wide golden sands and the water is safe and shallow making it a popular destination for locals or families with younger children. There is an RNLI lifeguard station. Other facilities include a new cafe/restaurant (Chineside), a Harvester pub, a beachfront take away cafe / ice cream kiosk, a beach shop, beach office and toilets.

There are numerous attractions and activities that Dorset has to offer, all of which can be found on this website, including some wonderful walks (many of which include National Trust Sites) - so there's no shortage of ways to fill your holiday when staying here.

Jurassic Coast

For me, the real jewel in Dorset's crown! I still find it amazing that discoveries are even being made today along this amazing coastline; which begins just the other side of Pool Harbour and the sandy beaches of Bournemouth. This is a guaranteed fun-filled day for little explorers and budding geologists.
