The stunning Dorset town of Bournemouth is a piece of the South Coast paradise, and a must-visit for any cottage stay in the area. It’s the perfect resort for families, with seven miles of sandy beaches as well as everyone’s favourite seaside attractions – mini golf, amusement arcades, and an oceanarium.
But that’s not all – explore the exciting smuggling history behind Bournemouth’s ports or dip into the tales of famous authors who lived here, including Thomas Hardy and JRR Tolkien. In this guide we’ll look at some of the best self-catering properties with private hot tubs in Dorset.
