Cliff Heights is the westernmost of the FlexieStays apartment buildings, which makes it the quietest of them and the one closest to the chines. If the appeal of Bournemouth for you is the wooded western end of the bay rather than the pier, this is the address in the group that matches.
This guide is published by FlexieStays, who operate this property. That is worth saying outright — this page is the operator describing its own building.
The apartments
Self-contained apartments with a fully-equipped kitchen, a living space separate from the bedroom, free Wi-Fi and a smart TV. Self check-in with 24/7 support, and on-site parking among the listed facilities.
The format is aimed squarely at stays long enough that a hotel room would start to grate — which, for most people, is somewhere around the fourth or fifth night.
The location
This is the far end of the West Cliff, where the residential streets thin and the chines cut down through the cliff to the sea. Durley Chine is a short descent away and Alum Chine is further west along the promenade, quieter again and with the tropical gardens in the valley above it.
The trade is honest: this is the longest walk into the town centre of the FlexieStays properties. If stepping straight out into the middle of town matters more to you than a quiet street, Tower House is the one that does that.
Inland, Westbourne is close and has the best concentration of independent food on this side of the bay.
