Kid-friendly vacation rentals in Bournemouth

I stayed at Sonia’s house with a group of friends. We were 6 adults and 5 children aged 3 to 7. The house was perfect and I actually think the photos don’t quite do it justice. There is plenty of space for the children and adults to do their own thing but also come together. Reception spaces were so cosy with lots of space and made a great cinema room or snug, depending what mood you’re in. Bedrooms were all a great size and and beds were so comfortable! Sonia is a great host. Very responsive, kind and helpful. We have already said, we will be back as it’s such a great house for a gathering with friends.

This house offers everything a family could wish for. It feels very homely from the moment you step through the door. We stayed over Christmas and Clare had the log burner set ready to light with basket of logs and clear instructions. The open plan kitchen diner opens to an immaculate garden and even had feeders for the birds. Most of all Clare dressed a Christmas tree and left suprises for the children. We were close to the harbour and park and within walking distance to the Lighthouse theatre where we saw Sleeping Beauty on Boxing day. A truly memorable Christmas. Thankyou Clare.

Aimee and Paul have a beautiful home that felt warm and welcoming from the moment we arrived. The space was spotless, thoughtfully designed, and equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Their hospitality was exceptional—they provided great local recommendations, were responsive to any questions, and made us feel right at home. The location was perfect, offering a peaceful environment while still being conveniently close to local attractions and amenities. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay and would highly recommend their home to anyone visiting the area. Thank you, Aimee and Paul, for such a fantastic experience!

Had a fantastic stay at Anna’s house which is beautiful and a perfect spot for a family holiday. Our 2 year old boy was over the moon when he saw all the toy cars to play with and my 5 year old girl loved the house so much she wanted to stay forever. Great location close to Sobo beach and lots of great recommendations for local restaurants/ takeaways. The outdoor shower was perfect for filling up the paddling pool in the afternoon. Absolutely recommend staying here and we will definitely be booking to stay again next year!

Laura’s home is a beautifully designed and decorated home which makes you feel comfortable and peaceful straight away. We loved the minimalist design and amazing subtle styling of the house and garden. Laura was friendly and responsive. We enjoyed a wonderful stay with long days at Mudeford beach and surrounds x

Celia’s home was bright and comfortable with lots of lovely touches. Lots of toys and books to keep everyone entertained and a smart outside space for relaxing and running off any excess energy before bedtime! Would love to stay again, x

We booked the Wimborne Airbnb for a special birthday celebration with 10 guests. It is a lovely house with large kitchen dining area. We booked a private chef and had an amazing meal. The chef made the most of the very modern island kitchen and we were able to enjoy the experience sitting around the very large dining table. We made the most of the pol table, table tennis and hot tub. There are lovely walks and pubs all within a short drive from the house. It was the perfect party house.

Vicki was an awesome host. She was extremely helpful and accommodating. She left us a lovely basket of goodies which went down like a treat. The kids toy room was a huge bonus for us as we had little ones. They enjoyed it as well as the outside grass space. Spacious and exactly like advertised. Thanks Vicki (and Carolina). We had a lovely stay 😀

Great place. We have already booked it for the 2025 time in Poole near family. It would be great if the internet connection was improved. We had to restart the router a number of times to watch Christmas films after supper! But it was a great space to be in.

We stayed at Elizabeth’s for a few days when visiting family nearby. It was perfect for our purpose and we found Elizabeth very friendly and accommodating. Our granddaughter particularly enjoyed the trampoline!

I booked for my colleague who’s working in the area and the place was lovely. He loved it. I would highly recommend. Ali and Stuart were great hosts. Thank you for looking after us!

Great place that's on the main street but private and quiet and close to some good pubs and places to eat. The secure parking was a bonus and the apartment had everything we needed for a comfy stay. Jillian met us on arrival and was very helpful with advice on local amenities. The bottle of prosecco on arrival was a lovely touch and much appreciated. Thanks for a lovely stay Jillian!

This is a great find, the location is perfect with Bournemouth beach or city centre easily walkable but also buses to other beaches that stop virtually outside. Surrounded by good restaurants.

Lovely flat, exactly as described, easy walking distance to the beach and the town centre - thanks very much!

We had a lovely 3 night stay at the beautiful apartment. Amazing sea views. Lovely walks on the doorstep. Would definitely recommend and return in the future.

Clare was flexible when arrangements for check out / in were discussed although in the end it wasnt required. Easy check in, easy to find, quiet but still close to everything. I was worried that there wouldn't be enough to do as it was between Xmas and New Year but we filled our days with lovely walks to town, crabbing, the archades, a walk down the pier. The blue Pool which is a great place to go with the children. Corfe Castle was fab as well. The flat was a great base for us, perfect for the children too with the bonus of parking. I can imagine there is so much more to do in the summer months so looking forwards to revisiting soon. We also went for drinks in the Grand Hotel situated almost opposite which has some stunning views. We had hoped to get some food delivered for my husbands birthday but we couldn't find anywhere that delivered so I ended up cooking which was made easy with everything I needed to utilise the kitchen including tea coffee sugar sauces as an added bonus.

Lovely place to stay, quiet and very easy to check in. Michelle is a great host.

Tricia’s place is fantastic. Perfect spot, perfect host. What more could you want. I can definitely recommend Tricia’s place to anybody heading to Lymington.

Really enjoyed our short stay here. The apartment was really well equipped, warm and comfortable. Emily and Ed couldn't have been more helpful. Corfe Castle is a lovely village to stay in, with good pubs and cafes on the doorstep. Would definitely stay again.

I loved my stay and I will most certainly be back. The listing is very accurate and the place has everything you need. The instructions to find and get into the place were very detailed and once you arrive, there‘s a welcome folder with all kinds of information. Rebecca was very responsive and got back to me within minutes. I know Bournemouth very well so i picked the place for its very convenient location: just down the road is the zigzag to the beach, the Triangle (busses and shops) is minutes away. Bournemouth is hilly so there‘s always a little hill to climb (to or from the center) but it’s well connected with busses, and an uber is also affordable and easy to get. Loved the little touches- there was fresh milk and brownies waiting for me, and some christmas light decorations in the flat, because I arrived just before Christmas. Highly recommend. I cannpt complain about noise- there was none- but it was offseason.

This was absolutely the best experience to our family, the place was very clean, the owners are very nice and kind people, strongly recommend

The apartment is perfect, great space, light and airy. Lovely for a communal get together. Samantha was extremely helpful in planning our trip with great suggestions for local places to eat. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend.

Such a lovely place. Perfect for what we needed it for. Also much bigger than I thought. I think this will be our place to stay every time we come to Bournemouth. thank you

Nice clean accommodation, well decorated with everything you would need, good communication from Maureen regarding the stay. Tesco nearby for groceries, Cafe 100yds away for coffee and breakfast or dinner. We stayed for a weekend and went to eat at Rick Steins one night and Poole harbour the next night.
