What our customers say about their holidays

  The cottage was delightful but I think more attention to detail is required for the price of the property.

  The furniture is tired. The settee in the front room has stains on it and although comfortable to sit on I felt a little uncomfortable because of the way the cleanliness made me feel. The bed although comfortable squeaked every time you moved…this needs looking at. The fridge had been cleaned with bleach prior to our arrival so smelt of bleach…fridges shouldn’t be cleaned with bleach. For some reason we couldn’t get the fridge to work…it kept freezing the food. The garden was nice but could be lovely with a bit more attention to detail. And it would have been nice if the garden furniture had been cleaned prior to our arrival. The conservatory was lovely but the skylight needed cleaning. Lots of cobwebs and dead flies. The bathroom had very large cobwebs in it. Overall the place is nice, cosy and peaceful but as said it needs a bit more TLC to make it better. It’s in a lovely location and we would stay again for that reason.

  We had a lovely stay at Sandytoes, the hosts are really helpful and kind.

  The property is well maintained and the 4 bedrooms were all a good size and perfect for our family holiday shared with grandparents. The kitchen space is really lovely and sunny in the mornings and the garden is great for being able to keep an eye on the kids but letting them play freely. The hosts kindly lent us the use of a beach trolley which meant we walked to Avon beach in about 12 mins with all the deckchairs and kids toys etc. Avon beach is great for a family seaside holiday, with lifeguards, toilets and ice cream/cafes and a doggy section.We had days out in Bournemouth and Lymington, but we mostly stayed local as there is everything you need in walking distance. The hosts were really helpful when my car broke down on the drive and tried to help us find a garage. They also had lots of top tips for the best things to during our week there. 10/10 recommended!

  Really lovely cottage which was very clean and looked like it had been recently tastefully decorated.

  Fantastic location close to all the lovely restaurants and bars and more widely all the attractions of Christchurch and surrounding area. The only negative comment I’d make is that the bedrooms are set up to sleep 6 however we had 5 of us, our 3 kids are all adult-sized teenagers now and we found it a squash downstairs. There is really only space for 4 people downstairs - 4 round the table and only space for 4 on the sofas- someone had to sit on a plastic garden chair which obviously isn’t very comfy and it was a real tight squeeze, they were sat in the access way through to the kitchen so no one could come and go. It’s difficult to gauge size from the photos on the website. It’s perfect for a group of 4 I’d say.

  The property has been recently refurbished.

  The walls have been painted. New carpets have been put in upstairs. The bathroom was clean and bright. The beds were very comfortable. The wifi was fast. The kitchen was well-equipped (and had lots of things that not all cottages have, e.g. cling film, foil, salt, pepper, plus plenty of cutlery and utensils). The property overlooks a public car park, so we did hear some noise in the car park on the weekend from people returning late at night to their cars. But this was a minor inconvenience given how well situated the property is for the high street in Christchurch and all of its shops and restaurants. We very much enjoyed our stay and would consider returning if we fancied being in the same part of the country again.

  This was a fabulous place to stay with my grown up kids while visiting them from the US. The house is lovely and the location (100ft from the beach) is perfect. Richard and Gina are great hosts and were happy to help with queries while we were there. They truly thought of everything... even our dog was provided for with a bed, bowl, blankets, poop bags and treats! The kitchen was well equipped, the beds were comfortable and the showers to die for! There is no washing machine but there is a drying rack and there is a laundry a 5 min drive away. Richard and Gina left a welcome pack and when we extended our stay they brought another! I will definitely book again when I next visit the UK 10/10
