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 Kinson: questions
Where exactly is Kinson?
On Bournemouth's northern edge, around the old village centre on Wimborne Road, out to Bear Cross in the west and the River Stour in the north. It joined Bournemouth in 1931. Postcodes are BH10 and BH11, and BCP Council is the local authority.
Is Kinson good for commuting to Ferndown or Poole?
Yes. Bear Cross, where the Wimborne and Ringwood roads meet, gives direct routes to Ferndown's industrial estates, north Poole and the A31, and the airport is a short drive east through Parley. That is one reason workers rent here.
What homes are there to rent in Kinson?
Mainly family houses and bungalows, many with drives and gardens, let to families and to workers at Ferndown, Poole and the airport. Flats are fewer than in central Bournemouth, and shared houses are uncommon.
How far is Kinson from the beach and the town centre?
It is the furthest Bournemouth suburb from the beach, which is a drive or a longer bus ride away. Routes 5, 11 and 32 run to the town centre through Winton. People choose Kinson for space, drives and prices, not for the sea.
Is there green space in Kinson?
Yes. Kinson Common is a local nature reserve and Site of Special Scientific Interest, the River Stour runs along the north of the suburb, and Pelhams Park has a leisure centre and playing fields. For families and dog owners that is a real advantage.
