Our family lives in Winton, a town near the university which is 1 1/2 miles from the centre of Bournemouth. We live with our lovely daughter Ela, who is 9 and son Aslan, who is 3. Our home is a 2 minute walk from the town of Winton, which has some lovely shops, cafes & restaurants, and a 25 minute walk to Bournemouth university or into Bournemouth town centre; buses also go to Bournemouth every 10 minutes.
There are 4 bedrooms in total with a large kitchen, a separate dining area & conservatory. There is a small garden. We have a good sized upstairs twin room with a comfortable king sized bed and comes with lots of storage available, along with a single good sized room with a desk and furniture. Your bedroom is clean & nicely furnished and broadband is very good.
As my husband and I run a café diner in Winton, you can be sure to receive a warm welcome from us and you are welcome to relax not just in our home, but in the café too :)
