Modern apt near gardens with large decking area - Vivre Retreats

Lovely big apartment . Clean and in a quiet location.

Beautiful place overall

Beds in small rooms could be more comfortable

The beds were comfortable and bedrooms very clean. Lovely pillows, mattress. Very comfortable night's sleep. TV was a good size, great for enjoying as a group in the living room. Decently powerful shower in the main bathroom which made having a morning shower very enjoyable. Bath is a decent size so also enjoyable. Bath mat and lots of towels provided and good amount of hand wash soap, shower gel etc. Location of the property was fairly close to Bournemouth town centre and good for getting to Bournemouth gardens if you're walking down to Bournemouth Square.

It was hard to find the key box on the rear wall in the patio garden when I first arrived. It wasn't easy to see tucked away on the side at a right angle so not clearly visible. It took a while to find it despite the instructions provided. I had to spend time really looking which is not what you want to experience when you first arrive and want to just get into the property, especially if tired after a long journey. Can the key box just be placed on the main back wall facing you as you walk through the gate instead? Lighting in the main bathroom was poor if trying to use the mirrors to wash or shave at the sink. There was only one light for a big sized bathroom and it was behind you when at the sink. The bathoom needs a couple of additional spot lights in the ceiling really. Some of the mugs in the kitchen were getting quite old and a bit dirty/tired. The clock in the kitchen needed new batteries as it wasn't working when we stayed. Although not a big deal, the owner could have checked and replaced them before we arrived. Also some new bulbs needed on wall lights around outside patio. The living room door to the patio was difficult to lock and unlock as the door was old and hard to line up the lock to be able to turn the key. The gravel parking space outside in front of the garage is quite small lengthwise so large cars would stick out into the road. There is parking out on the road instead though which is better to use if you have anything other than a smaller super mini type car.

Loved the adult ladybird books in the living room and the large bathroom.

I was expecting a washing machine and the parking space was a bit tight.

Beautiful and spacious apartment in a perfect location for the beach and town centre. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Lovely apartment with great outdoor area to relax. Quiet and had parking.

No washing machine in the apartment but there was a shared facility in the garage. No dishwasher.

Beautiful, comfortable, practical apartment! Possibly the best shower I’ve ever had, absolutely loved it 👍🏽

Nothing, no issues at all
