Tower House sits on the West Cliff, and of the FlexieStays apartments it is the one closest to the middle of town. That position is its main argument: the pier, the Lower Gardens and the central stretch of Bournemouth Beach are all a walk away rather than a journey, and you can get to any of them without crossing the town centre.
This guide is published by FlexieStays, who operate this property. That is worth stating plainly rather than leaving you to work out — what follows is the operator describing its own building, not an independent review of it.
The apartments
The format is a self-contained apartment rather than a hotel room: a full kitchen, a separate living space, and a bed you can actually sleep in. The listed facilities are a fully-equipped kitchen, free Wi-Fi, a smart TV, on-site parking, self check-in and 24/7 support.
The practical difference this makes shows up after about the fourth night. Being able to cook a meal, do a load of washing and sit somewhere that is not the bed changes a stay from something you endure into somewhere you live for a while.
The location
The West Cliff is the high ground west of the town centre, above the beach and below the residential streets. From Tower House the descent to the promenade is a matter of minutes by the zig-zag paths, and the town centre is a level walk in the other direction.
Durley Chine is the natural beach from here if you want to be away from the pier crowd, and Westbourne is the nearest neighbourhood with a proper concentration of independent restaurants.
Booking and good to know
The property holds an aggregate score of 4.9 from 1,289 reviews, the largest review count across the FlexieStays properties. That score is published per property and sourced from third-party booking platforms.
Check-in is by self access with support available around the clock, which makes a late arrival straightforward. Rates, availability and current parking arrangements are on the property page. For how booking works — payments, the pay-25%-now option and cancellations — see the booking & help page or the FlexieStays help centre.
If you are still deciding which part of the bay to base yourself in, the neighbourhood guide compares them properly, and long stays in Bournemouth covers what changes past a month.
