Why book self-catering accommodation in Bournemouth?
For your next big break away with friends and family, consider ditching the limitations of hotel rooms and embracing the freedom and flexibility of Bournemouth self-catering accommodation. Here’s why it’s the perfect choice for large group getaways:
Private seaside haven – Celebrations are meant to be shared together. Instead of booking small hotel rooms where all of your guests are split, picture sharing a huge, welcoming home with open-plan social spaces so that you can all share the fun together.

Bournemouth self-catering combines convenience and comfort seamlessly.
Home-cooked feasts– The two best things about Bournemouth self-catering are affordability and flexibility. The cost of a big food shop split between your guests will be the price of a single meal out, but will cover you for breakfast, lunch, dinner, drinks and snacks. You also have the freedom to cook what you please, at a time convenient for you. No more rushing for reservations, or worrying about being over or underdressed. If you want to make the most of your kitchen facilities but don’t fancy cooking for a big group, hire one of our private chefs that comes with all the ingredients needed for a gourmet feast! Additionally, if you’re
