If you have been here before you should guess where we are. A clue is my favourite house and I can always pretend I live here on a sunny day.


Who would not like a home with sea views?

Time to go inside

Step inside the poster…

Wander upstairs


Protective blinds mute the views, but add an artistic aspect perhaps?

Wandering around someone else’s house you never know who you are going to meet.

If you are still here tomorrow we can pop into the gallery and see the new exhibition. Here are a couple of clues.



Wouldn’t it be AMAZING to live there?!
I’ve never been to the Russel Coates Museum, but your photos have made me think I really must 🙂

Prime real estate for sure. Luckily the Cotes gave it to the people of Bournemouth. Alas no dogs allowed!

Yes Darlene, my favourite house. I don’t actually live there but I get an annual membership. It’s free to go in for coffee, which I often do. Ironically I can’t think Sir and Lady Cotes spent much time there. It was built after their family grew up and then they were always away on their travels.

I am unfamiliar with Russell Cotes, but I see the house is in Bournemouth. I have been there once but don’t recall seeing this amazing place.

It is very near the pier and overlooks the main beach, but easily missed high up on its perch.

I could live there with enough servants.

Apparently Mr and Mrs cotes had meals delivered from the Royal Bath hotel next door, sounds like the ultimate in not bothering to cook! They had previously lived at the hotel.

I would expect the Royal Bath Hotel to clean the house as well.

I have only ever seen that house from a distance, and used to wonder who lived there. Now I know! Thanks, Janet.
Best wishes, Pete.

Yes here too, even though sea views are also likely to slide down the cliff!!

Yes I can see that that is a problem in your part of the UK. Luckily here our cliffs are harder.

Hi Janet
We wouldn’t like to live in Bournemouth. We live by the sea in North Norfolk, where we still have natural beaches.

We had holidays in Norfolk with the children, enjoying those beaches.
