Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
If you have submitted a review for a holiday rental property, we may also ask that you provide us with proof of your stay to ensure that your review is attached to the correct rental property.
Holiday rental reviews collected via the VRBO website (formerly Homeaway) and syndicated to the Tripadvisor website are not currently subject to Tripadvisor’s standard moderation processes.

Just Perfect, loved it.
The location was perfect. Close to the convenient store (co-operative) and the town centre. The beach is literally 5/10 minutes away. The house itself was in great condition and really spacious, to be honest I don't have any complaints. We all had a wonderful weekend. We’ll visit again

Lovely and clean and good location.
We had a great time at the cottage and was a good location in terms of beach and shops. The cottage was very clean and the owner quickly sorted out the issue we had on the first day regarding lightbulbs so thank you. The only slight issue was the lamppost positioned right over the driveway, which made parking the car quite tricky. otherwise very much enjoyed our stay

Great house - would stay again
We had a lovely week at Able Cottage. The house is lovely and spacious, nicely presented and very clean. Louise left us tea bags, coffee, milk and cake which was a nice touch after a long journey with children. There are some toys and DVDS at the house which was great for the kids and we all felt very comfortable. Bournemouth is a great place for all ages. Its quite a walk from the house down to the beach, especially for those who are not able to walk comfortably. Would recommend getting the bus (very regular) from Christchurch road which takes you into town. If you have children, be sure to visit Poultons Park and Monkey World. Thanks Louise!

Fabulous property in a superb location!
What a lovely property this is! We travelled with ourselves, our 1 year old, friends and their two year old. House had everything we all needed for a brilliant stay and plenty of room for two families. Louise couldn't have been more helpful in making sure we had everything we needed, including travel cot and high chair. Great location close to town centre and beach.

a relaxing home!
We (a family with 2 small children) have experienced an amazing and relaxing week in Bournemouth in this lovely, well-designed and spacious house. We really felt home and enjoyed staying at this lovely house very much. We appreciated very much the garden and the possibility to eat / sit outside, to have BBQ or just that the kids could run around and play outside in a safe environment while we could prepare food inside. The house is perfectly located between beach, bus lines and supermarket - everything is reachable in a walking distance, even with small children. Everything was simply perfect. This was our first visit to Bournemouth but I am sure it won’t be the last. Thank you so much for enabling such a nice vacation. Whenever we will be seeking a home in the area again, we will definitely think of you/rs…

A group of us stayed in this property for 2 nights - we had a lovely time. The cottage is beautiful, location is great near to the beach and the town centre. On arrival the cottage was very clean and was stocked with everything we needed - we couldn't ask for more. Thank you for a lovely stay

About the neighbourhood
Bournemouth has such a diverse choice of settings with so many attractions to choose from it is hard to know where to start.As parents ourselves we know how hard it is to keep the children entertained without burning a whole in your wallet so here are a few of our favourite attractions BEACHES5 minutes walk from the cottage is Bournemouth Beach and no one can resist a good old day at the beach. During the summer months there is a wide array of free activities for the children in the Kid Zone areas and in the pleasure gardens with numerous seafront attractions.We have access to some of the most beautiful beaches on the south coast and if you prefer somewhere a little quieter why no take the 5 minute ferry crossing from Sandbanks (Millionaires Row) to Studland Bay which belongs to the national Trust.<BR><BR>MOORS VALLEY COUNTRY PARK 15 minute drive from the cottage on the A338<BR>Moors Valley covers 750 acres in the Valley of the Moors River. At the heart of the park is the Visitor Centre, an 18th century timber barn, which houses Seasons Restaurant ,Just a few minutes walk from the Visitor Centre is the Adventure Play Area for older children and a special Castle and Sand Area for toddlers. From the play areas we cross the picnic area to the picturesque Moors Lake alongside which runs the narrow-gauge steam railway that will take you on a mile long journey through the park. <BR><BR>POOLE PARK - 20 minute drive from the cottage<BR>Poole Park is one of only two Victorian Parks in the Borough of Poole, the park comprises of 109.5 acres of which 60 acres are water. So lots of boating fun, a train journey round the park, an ice skating ring, soft play centre, a great outside play park, loads of great trees to climb and lots of paths to cycle or roller skate on an ideal day out for families.<BR><BR>In the centre of town we have a wonderful aquarium, wacky warehouse soft play area, pottery painting cafe, build a bear workshop, children's museum, cinemas to name a few<BR><BR>We will leave you a folder full of ideas and places to visit<BR><BR>For couples travelling without children, we have numerous National Trust sites nearby, beautiful walks in the New Forest and surrounding countryside. Compton Acres a historic garden built in 1929 to give a few examples, again numerous ideas for trips out will be in our welcome folder.<BR><BR>
