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 Parkstone: questions
What is the difference between Upper and Lower Parkstone?
Lower Parkstone, in BH14, is the older half near the harbour, with Victorian villas, conversion flats, Ashley Cross and the station. Upper Parkstone, on the higher ground around Ashley Road, has smaller terraced houses and flats at lower prices, close to supermarkets, buses and the university. They suit different tenants and buyers.
Is Parkstone good for renting near Poole Hospital?
Yes. The hospital on Longfleet Road is on Parkstone's western side, a walk across Poole Park from Lower Parkstone or a short drive or bus ride from Upper Parkstone. Hospital staff are one of the suburb's steadiest groups of tenants, and they value parking and a quiet bedroom.
Is Parkstone a good place for a first home?
It is one of the usual starting points in Poole. Terraces off Ashley Road and conversion flats in Lower Parkstone sit below the waterfront prices, with the station, the hospital and Ashley Cross close by. Check the lease, the service charge and any restrictions on a conversion flat before you offer.
Which schools are near Parkstone?
Parkstone Grammar School, a selective girls' school, is in the area, and Poole Grammar is a short drive, with primaries in both halves of the suburb. Selective entry and catchments change, so check BCP Council's admissions pages before choosing a street for a school.
Is parking a problem in Parkstone?
On some older streets, yes. Many Victorian villas converted into flats have no off-road space, and the roads around Ashley Cross are busy in the evening. A driveway or allocated space adds to both the rent and the sale price, and a listing should say clearly what parking comes with the home.
