A long term let in Springbourne is a furnished flat or small house let for 28 nights or more, bills included, to someone who has come to work or study nearby, often by train. The group lets apartments this way a short walk west, in central Bournemouth and on the West Cliff; in Springbourne we do it for landlords through the Flexiestays platform. The service is set out on our long term lets page.
Why Springbourne suits a long stay
Springbourne is where a new arrival can walk from the train to the front door. The railway marks its southern edge, Holdenhurst Road runs through it to the Lansdowne, and the town centre is a short walk beyond. Holdenhurst Road has supermarkets and everyday shops, so a guest can live for months without a car. Kings Park, a short walk east, gives green space for a run after work.
Who stays
- New starters and secondees at the Lansdowne offices and in the town centre, often booked by their employer for the first months.
- University and college staff, including visiting lecturers at Bournemouth University's town campus and Bournemouth and Poole College.
- Contractors who work in Bournemouth in the week and travel home at weekends.
- Relocations and people between homes, who want time to choose a part of town before they rent or buy.
- Hospital staff who prefer the town end, with the Royal Bournemouth about three kilometres north-east.
What your flat needs
A proper bed, a desk and chair, broadband that holds a video call, a washing machine, a kitchen equipped for a month of cooking, heating on a timer and a key safe or smart lock for late trains. A second bedroom set up as a study widens the market to couples relocating together.
How it works through the Flexiestays platform
We photograph and list the flat on the Flexiestays platform, Bournemouth's number one for winter and long stays, agree the monthly price with you, check each guest and the purpose of the stay, take a standard cleaning and security deposit, and check the guest in and out against an inventory with an inspection in between. Guests see the group's apartments alongside at property to rent in Bournemouth, and our guide to corporate lets and relocation explains employer bookings.
The rules to check
At the time of writing, BCP Council charges a 100% council tax premium on furnished second homes, and stays of more than 28 nights do not count towards the 70 let nights that qualify a property for business rates. Many Springbourne flats are leasehold, so the lease must allow this kind of letting. A guest who makes the flat their only home may become a tenant, so every booking is checked.
For a tenancy, see letting agents in Springbourne and property management in Springbourne. For mixing short winter stays with longer ones, see winter lets in Springbourne. Owners weighing a sale can start with property valuation in Springbourne or selling your property in Springbourne. The town-wide page is long term lets in Bournemouth, and the district is on the Springbourne area page.

Springbourne is the residential district on the north side of the railway, between the Lansdowne and Boscombe, with Holdenhurst Road as its high street. It lets on its closeness to Bournemouth station, the Lansdowne offices and campuses and the town centre, to professionals, students, sharers and new arrivals, at rents below the cliffs.
The Flexiestays group's apartments are in central Bournemouth and on the West Cliff (BH2), a walk west of Springbourne. Here we let landlords' furnished flats and small houses the same way: stays of 28 nights or more, bills included, booked through the Flexiestays platform.
Springbourne's long-stay guest usually arrives with a suitcase and no car. Bournemouth station and the coach station are on the district's southern edge, so someone starting a job can step off a train from London Waterloo and walk to the door. The Lansdowne, with the main office district, Bournemouth University's town campus and Bournemouth and Poole College, is at the western end of Holdenhurst Road. That makes Springbourne a natural first home for new starters and secondees, visiting lecturers, contractors who travel home at weekends, and people relocating who want time to choose a part of town.
One and two-bed flats in newer blocks and converted Edwardian houses, with a desk, broadband and a washing machine, suit them best. Parking matters less here than almost anywhere else in Bournemouth.
Who rents and buys in Springbourne
- Professionals and new starters at the Lansdowne. People starting jobs in the Lansdowne offices rent a flat they can walk from, often arriving by train before they know the town, and many stay on once settled.
- Students and university staff. Bournemouth University's town campus and Bournemouth and Poole College bring students in shared houses, staff and visiting lecturers who want to walk to work.
- Rail commuters and weekly workers. With the station on the doorstep, contractors and weekly commuters who go home at weekends take one-bed flats and furnished stays without needing a car.
- Investors and first-time buyers. Terraces and converted flats near the station are among the more affordable homes close to the town centre, which brings investors who let to sharers and professionals, and first-time buyers who want to walk to work.

Long term lets in Springbourne: questions
Are the Flexiestays apartments in Springbourne?
No, but they are close. The group's 130 apartments are in central Bournemouth and on the West Cliff, a walk or short bus ride west, listed at property to rent in Bournemouth. In Springbourne we let landlords' furnished flats for stays of 28 nights or more through the same platform.
Who books a Springbourne flat for a month or more?
New starters and secondees at the Lansdowne offices, staff and visiting lecturers at the university's town campus and the college, contractors who go home at weekends, and people relocating who want to learn the town before they rent or buy. Most arrive by train.
Does a Springbourne flat need parking for long stays?
It helps but is far from essential. Many long-stay guests here walk from the station and to the Lansdowne. A flat without parking lets well when the listing says so plainly; where there is a space, we put it in the title for guests who drive.
Is a long stay in my Springbourne flat a tenancy?
Not where the guest keeps a main home elsewhere and stays for a contract, a secondment or a move, often with an employer paying. A guest who gives up their home and makes yours their only one may become a tenant. We check each stay and use the right agreement; this is not legal advice.
What is included in a Springbourne long stay?
One monthly price covering electricity, gas, water, broadband and council tax, with linen, towels, a full kitchen, a washing machine and a desk. Employers booking for staff can be given the booking details their finance team needs.
How do long stays affect council tax on my Springbourne flat?
At the time of writing, BCP Council charges a 100% premium on furnished second homes. A property available for 140 nights and let for 70 can move to business rates, but stays of more than 28 nights do not count towards the 70, so a calendar of only long stays may stay on council tax.

I've had a really positive experience
I've had a really positive experience with the Airbnb building services, and I'd especially like to recognise Nat, Jack, and Reece for how helpful, friendly, and professional they are. They're always approachable, responsive, and willing to go the extra mile to help resolve any issues or answer questions. Their attitude makes a real difference and creates a welcoming experience for residents and guests. A special mention has to go to Natalie, who has been exceptionally helpful. She is consistently kind, attentive, and proactive, and always makes sure things are dealt with properly. Her dedication and willingness to help really stand out and are very much appreciated. Thank you to the whole team for all your hard work, it definitely doesn't go unnoticed!
Great accommodation and location
Ease of booking. Great communication with the team. Moved to the area and stayed while purchasing property. Very flexible regarding duration of stay. 2 months. We stayed in 2 different apartments. Both lovely. Quiet. No hassle. Also location awesome. A few minutes walk to the beach and town. Thanks again everyone at Flexistays Bournemouth. Highly recommend
Lovely and cosy apartment in the centre
Lovely and cosy apartment in the centre of Bournemouth, and managing to still be quiet. Close to the train station (and buses), big Asda superstore, town centre, park and the beach. I have stayed so far in 2 different apartments in the same building on 2 separate occasions. Both, lovely decorated, with everything one may need for a short or longer stay. A kind of apartment you just want to stay in the whole day! I would definitely recommend.
