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 Penn Hill: questions
Where exactly is Penn Hill?
Penn Hill is a ward of Poole in the BH14 postcode, between Parkstone, Lilliput, Canford Cliffs and Branksome Park. Its centre is the parade of shops and restaurants on Penn Hill Avenue, which runs down towards Branksome Chine.
How far is Penn Hill from the beach?
From the lower end of Penn Hill Avenue, Branksome Chine's wooded walk reaches the beach in about half a mile. Canford Cliffs and Sandbanks are a short drive. Most homes are a walk or a few minutes' drive from the sand.
Are there houses to rent in Penn Hill?
Fewer than in most of Poole, because most houses are owner-occupied. When a family house does come up, it usually lets to a relocating family or a household between homes, often for a year or more. Registering with us early helps.
What decides the price of a Penn Hill house?
The plot, the number of bedrooms, the distance to Branksome Chine and the beaches, parking and condition. Some buyers are buying the plot to extend or rebuild, so planning history and the size of the garden carry real weight.
Is Penn Hill in BCP Council's area?
Yes. BCP Council sets council tax and handles planning and licensing. Large houses tend to be in the higher council tax bands, and at the time of writing a furnished second home pays a 100% premium.
