About this property

A tastefully furnished and well-equipped, mid-terrace holiday home, tucked away in a quiet residential cul-de-sac, a short stroll from the quayside in the lovely, historic Dorset town of Christchurch. This charming cottage is an ideal base for families or friends with the Dorset coast within easy reach, as is the beautiful New Forest National Park. Once you enter this lovely cottage you will find a pleasant and well-equipped kitchen/diner that has everything you need to create tasty treats for your group, and from here there’s a door leading out into a small, enclosed decked garden, which provides a great place to sit out with your morning coffee and plan the day’s activities. Also on the ground floor is a cosy sitting room with electric fire, and there’s the convenience of a basin and WC on this floor too. Upstairs, both bedrooms boast en-suite facilities, so there’s no queuing for the bathroom in the morning! To the front there’s allocated parking so you can leave your car all day and wander the short distance into the town centre and treat yourselves to a meal and a tipple at any one of the numerous quality pubs and restaurants. Enjoy exploring the old castle ruins and stunning priory, or just relax with an ice cream in the riverside park, where often bands play, and if you fancy a boat trip then take one of the regular ferries that gently chug their way up the River Stour. Take the short Wick Ferry by the Captains Club Hotel and discover a lovely pathed walk through fields towards the famous Hengistbury Head, a Site of Special Scientific Interest, which boasts stunning coastal views. Within reach are the golden sands of Mudeford and all the attractions of the vibrant seaside resort of Bournemouth. This really is a superb Dorset holiday home to be enjoyed all year round.

The Dorset waterside town of Christchurch has an array of charming shops and quality restaurants, along with a quayside, 11th century castle ruins and a Medieval priory. Take a trip to the resort of Bournemouth or the New Forest National Park, which are both just a short drive away.

    Only down side for us was the bed in main bedroom , it would have been much better to have had at least a king sized bed with a firmer mattress. Otherwise a great stay.

    House was very clean and tidy, beds and seating very comfortable. Plenty of cutlery and plates etc. Instructions for kitchen appliances in drawers if required. Clothes drying racks on kitchen radiator plus an outside line attached to the shed. Small garden is now completely decked over and has garden chairs ( cushions in shed ) and table .Walk to river front is just a few minutes away, so is the bus stop if needed. High street shops are not far either. Beaches are around fifteen minutes drive. Children’s playground just around the corner opposite the river. Interesting to watch the nearby rowing club in the mornings and there is a small ferry boat linking this area with Wick on the opposite side of the river during season. Two allocated private parking bays directly outside the house in private road. Neighbours quiet and friendly.
