Take your partner for a romantic getaway to Friars Cliff, Dorset. This ground-floor eco apartment is beautifully designed, inside and out. It’s the perfect space to relax with your significant other and spend quality time together. When you want to head out, you’re surrounded by picturesque coastal landscapes and great places to eat.

This accommodation is the perfect size for two people. As you enter, you’ll find a cohesive lounge/diner, stylishly decorated and with plenty of space to relax. It’s a lovely spot to enjoy home-cooked meals, cuddle on the sofa with a book, or watch your favourite films together. There’s a large window, so you’ll get plenty of natural light. The kitchen is next door, chic and well-equipped. You can cook for each other, or together, or gently wake your partner with a delicious drink from the coffee machine. The bedroom is flexible and can be altered to fit your requirements: it’s either made up as a twin or a super-king room. Like the lounge/diner, this room has a big window, but there are curtains for your privacy. Finally, there’s a bathroom with a walk-in shower. This property has a gravel driveway and a small patio area, where you can take drinks and meals on warm days.

There are plenty of couples’ activities around. Long walks on the beach are excellent, but you’ll also be close to the New Forest, so make the most of the natural beauty there, too. You can take horses out for a hack at Eastmoors Riding School, 11 miles, then soothe aching muscles with a spa day at Chewton Glen Spa, 4 miles. If you fancy a day out in the city, you’re just 6 miles from Bournemouth.

  • 1 bedroom - super-king-size zip-and-link (available as 3ft twin on request)
  • 1 bathroom with shower and WC
  • Electric oven and induction hob, microwave, dishwasher, fridge, table top freezer and Nespresso coffee machine
  • Smart TV available in the lounge
  • Highchair and travel cot on request
  • Off-road parking for 1 car
  • Beach, pub and shop within 100m
  • Sleeps 2+2 with a double sofa bed available in the lounge on request
  • Electric vehicle charging on site - charges payable directly to owner and charge calculated on usage
  • Arrival: 15:00 onwards
  • Departure: before 10:00, unless otherwise stated in your arrival details
  • Sorry, no dogs allowed
  • There is an Accidental Damage Deposit of £150 when booking at this property, however this may be waived for £20. We’ll provide more details about this when booking your holiday.

Amazing place, very relaxing and comfortable and extremely quiet property, even on a very windy weekend. Perfect location with nearby beach, restaurants and pub, plus coastal walks in either direction to Bournmouth and Naish Beach. Note the ferry only operates at the weekend in the winter months so you need to drive to Hengistbury car park to walk Read moreto Bournmouth. Sammy Millers Motorcycle museum is close and well worth a visit and we highly recommend the excellent Haven pub! Hide
