Once favoured by Victorian royalty this charming seaside town makes for the perfect weekend break with its award-winning beach, lush gardens, and vibrant town centre.
Holiday Overview
Once a coveted hideaway for Victorian royalty, Bournemouth has gracefully transitioned into a beloved destination accessible for all, emerging as one of the nation’s cherished coastal holiday havens. While its stunning sandy beaches rightfully earn acclaim as among Europe's finest, the town itself beckons with a rich tapestry of museums, galleries, and an eclectic culinary scene featuring some of the country’s top restaurants and cafes. Adding to its allure is a delightful paved promenade, complemented by an enjoyable land train and accessible cliff lifts.
As with all of our accessible holidays we meticulously plan and prepare all accommodation, transport, and itinerary so you can enjoy a relaxing long weekend by the sea. Your gently-paced itinerary includes an accessible boat trip around Southampton Harbour, a delectable lunch at the esteemed Royal Yacht Club, a memorable visit to the Bournemouth Oceanarium, and plenty of downtime in which to indulge. You'll be staying in a wonderful seafront hotel that boasts a heated outdoor pool equipped with a hoist for those seeking a refreshing dip.
