The ground-floor room has a TV and ensuite shower room with toilet. The sofa can convert to a bed, making this a useful option for someone who prefers to avoid stairs.
The House
Gulliver's Rest has been newly extended and refurbished with help from interior designers, but the aim is still simple: a relaxed, practical home where guests can arrive, settle in and enjoy Bournemouth and the Dorset coast without fuss.
The front door opens into an entrance lobby and then into the main living and dining room: a large, comfortable space with seating, dining, a 55-inch TV, a flame-effect feature fire and doors out to the patio and garden.
It is designed to work as a proper shared room — somewhere for breakfast planning, slow dinners, films, games, reading and regrouping after the beach.
The newly fitted kitchen includes an oven, microwave, dishwasher, espresso machine with bean grinder, double-stacked air fryer and a breakfast bar with stools. It is also equipped with the practical tools that make self-catering easier, including scales, a hand blender and an electric whisk.
A door leads directly to the patio, so coffee, breakfast and outdoor meals are easy to manage.
A separate lobby/laundry area gives guests a Bosch washing machine and tumble dryer, plus an American-style fridge-freezer. There is also a downstairs toilet off the laundry lobby.
Outside, there is off-street parking for two cars, free on-street parking nearby, and a front tap that is handy for rinsing sandy feet after the beach.
The layout is deliberately flexible: two king-size bedrooms on the first floor, a twin loft room with its own relaxed feel, and a ground-floor room with TV, sofa bed and ensuite shower room.
The ground-floor room is especially useful for mixed-generation stays or for someone who prefers not to use the stairs.
