Outstanding from start to finish
The apartment exceeded our expectations with its modern design and thoughtful touches throughout. Walking distance to both the seafront and shopping areas made it incredibly convenient. Clear instructions, responsive host. Would absolutely stay here again on our next visit to Bournemouth.
Modern, clean and superbly located
Lovely apartment in very close proximity to Bournemouth town centre and beach. Modern, very clean and well equipped. Onsite parking was a big plus, making it easy to explore the area. The host was very responsive and helpful throughout our stay.
Second stay, and we'll be back
Great apartment at a perfect location. Jack and the team were so easy to deal with. This is our second time at this apartment block and we'll definitely be returning. Clean, well-maintained, and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay.

Estate agents in New Milton: questions
Which council covers New Milton?
New Forest District Council, in Hampshire. New Milton is not part of BCP, even though its postcode is BH25. Council tax, planning and housing standards go through the district council, and New Milton Town Council deals with local matters.
Is New Milton in the New Forest National Park?
The town is outside the park, on its southern border. Rural parts of BH25, such as Bashley, Wootton and Ossemsley, are inside it, and planning there goes to the National Park Authority. Check the address before you buy or plan building work.
Can I commute from New Milton by train?
Yes. The station is on the main line from London Waterloo to Weymouth, with direct trains to Bournemouth, Brockenhurst and Southampton. That makes the town popular with buyers and tenants who work elsewhere but want to live near the sea.
Do you cover New Milton from Bournemouth?
Yes. Our office on Charminster Road is about ten and a half miles away by road. We value, market and let homes in New Milton, Barton on Sea and Ashley, and we confirm which services we offer for your address before you instruct us.
Do retirement flats sell in New Milton?
There is steady demand from older buyers, but retirement flats are leasehold, often with age restrictions, event fees on resale and service charges that buyers and their solicitors examine closely. A clear pack of lease details from the start helps a sale move.
