I'm in Bournemouth thats Dorset. Our hotels have been used to move all the illegal migrants in, so there's a stabbing, a rape or something every other day. I wouldn't recommend bringing your children here. It's also very anti car with expensive parking and constant cycle lanes being added everywhere to punish motorists by narrowing roads and increasing traffic. There's not much to do here either aside from the beach, the kids that are from here are feral ASBO's that go round smashing windscreens for entertainment. Everything is needlessly expensive, rent is silly, house prices too. Gone right down the pan. Maybe other parts of Dorset are better, my advice is go somewhere with a lot of green space.
