Vacation rentals with a fireplace in Southbourne

The house was our home for a few days celebrating a 70th birthday. The glorious weather helped but the garden spaces with toys and sports equipment provided was great for young and old. Add in the hot tub, bbq and the ample fire pit for the cool evenings and everyone was happy. The house was spacious for 15 of us, with everything provided to cook up a storm and a games room offering a bit of friendly competition when it was needed. We had a great time.

The cottage was beautiful. The word of the stay was cute, everything was just perfect and the views were amazing. Although we only had a short stay it was comfortable, clean and cosy. We would definitely recommend. Jo was easy to contact and very welcoming on arrival and check out. Thank you x

This property is ideal for small family gatherings. Lovely walks on the doorstep and many things to do either walking or within a short car journey. There is a farm shop within 10-15minutes walk. Host gave helpful online support and property details. We really enjoyed our stay.

We went to visit Peppa Pig World, and couldn't have asked for a better spot. The drive there was 15min, which made all the difference for us. the place was fully equipped for our 3y as well as our 6m old, including high chair, great crib, and gates for the stairwell. It was very quiet and peaceful, and close to a co-op shop where we could get our groceries. would highly recommend for families looking for a well equipped house (+garden) within a reasonable distance from many new forest attractions

I’ve just returned from a stay here with my family, and we had a wonderful time. There were 12 of us including 3 kids aged 7yrs and under, and 2 dogs! So I was glad there was plenty of space. The house is beautiful and set in quiet surroundings. The games kept the kids entertained and they loved the Moors Valley country Park that was only 5 mins drive away. I would definitely recommend. The house is even nicer than in the photos.

Super chilled weekend away. A wonderful, peaceful place to stay, with a little private wooded walk onto the common and a nice pub 30 minute walk away. The annexe is cosy and well equipped for a relaxing break, with the hot tub, log burner and all the little things you might have forgotten - also a super comfy bed for yummy lie-ins! Lesley, Peter (and the animals) are really friendly and welcoming. This is our 2nd visit and we will hopefully stay again. Thank you! x

This was a beautiful home and we immediately felt at home. The host has thought of everything that you may need while staying here. Excellent attention to detail. The views from the house are wonderful and made us relax from the get go. Very close to lots of lovely places to visit. We especially loved the horses and donkeys visiting us outside. Would highly recommend and would definitely return. Thank you Julia for making us so welcome and for being so helpful. Anita & Family

If cottages could win awards, this one would be Best in Show (and that’s not just the dog talking). We had a fantastic weekend getaway in this beautiful little gem — think charming country vibes meets spotless interiors. The location was spot-on: peaceful enough to unwind, but close enough to places worth exploring. The garden was a particular highlight — our dog gave it a five-paw rating and probably thinks we bought the place. The hosts were lovely, helpful, and full of great local tips. In short: beautiful place, brilliant hosts, and a four-legged paradise. Highly recommend — and we’ll definitely be back!

Located close to where we have family living which was ideal for us. Lovely and quiet and has a saved parking space for the vehicle Our dog was welcomed to the property. It’s close to shops and takeaway outlets, although the kitchen is perfectly satisfactory for cooking in. Lots of lovely touches in the property such as provision of tea, coffee, milk and sugar as well as shampoo, soap shower gel in the bathroom. Very friendly hosts who were available if required.

Phil is a great host, responding quickly to any message. We had no issues at all with our accommodation but feel he would have sorted any problems promptly. Good location for exploring Poole and just a 20 minute walk from the harbour.

A well equipped flat in a great location for exploring the new forest. Communication was clear and helpful.

The property is up to 20 min walk from the rail station, 4 min walk to the nearest grocery store and lots of bars and restaurants, up to 10 min walk to the beach. Peaceful, quiet, and overall nice surroundings. The property itself is very spacious, large kitchen, two toilets and a shower. The living room is massive, with two large sofas, work desk and a spacious balcony overlooking the park, also a view of a church by the side of it. The bedroom is a large en-suite room with lots of storage and a vanity corner. I must highlight that i have not slept on a better mattress, ever. The property has a washing machine and washing powder. In the shower room I also had access to a variety of shower gels and shampoos. The kitchen comes with pretty much anything you may need, even if you decide to bake! The check-in was super smooth, I was greeted on the main road and shown inside. Absolutely superb 3 night solo stay and I will definitely be returning! Highly recommend! 10/10

This is such a fantastic place to stay. Richard goes above and beyond to ensure his guests feel welcome and are comfortable. The apartment was spotlessly clean and has everything needed for our visit. The location of the accommodation is perfect for access to the beach, local shops and the bus route to the surrounding areas.

Very comfortable and well equipped accommodation within a short walk of the beach, with the added advantage of off road parking. Brian was very friendly and full of helpful suggestions about the local area.

We had a great time and enjoyed being very close to the more bus system. So getting around by public transport- once you understood the app and the system- was very accessible… besides we enjoyed the quietness of the apartment.

Lovely apartment in secure block with plenty of space and filled with everything you need.

James is a lovely person and his home is really magical and he gave us total privacy but was ready to help or advise on anything, it was a lovely experience and definitely going back the house is fantastic really special and huge I have never slept in such a huge house even the bathroom was lovely the house is really authentic and fabulous wild garden I loved the windows beautiful location really quiet

Enjoyed a memorable stay in Goretti’s peaceful and spacious home. The house is fully equipped and was extremely clean. We particularly enjoyed the beautiful garden and conservatory. Communication was seamless. Would definitely recommend this beautiful home. It was lovely to be greeted by the host with a bottle of Prosecco in the fridge.

Lovely family home in the heart of the new forest. Was perfect for a pre Christmas getaway with lovely fireplace and warm Arga in the kitchen. Ian and team were very accommodating and it was lovely to have our two cocker spaniels with us to enjoy long daily walks in the forest. Will definitely be back again
