Foxglove Cottage

About this property

Foxglove Cottage, a charming two-bedroom hideaway stands in the peaceful coastal town of Christchurch, Dorset. Just moments away from a range of amenities and the beach, this pet-friendly abode is situated near the stunning New Forest National Park, making it the ideal base for families, friends, and couples looking to explore the great outdoors. Make your way into this characterful abode, where you and your four-legged friend can relax in the peaceful haven of a setting room, complete with gas fire so you can stay toasty on cooler evenings. Head through to the bright and airy kitchen/diner, where you can enjoy a delicious home-cooked meal around the table; take advantage of a superb array of kitchen appliances and utensils, guaranteed to ease your self-catered stay. If you prefer to dine alfresco, head out to the enclosed courtyard garden where you can bask in the last of the sun’s rays and sip a cold beverage as your pooch plays safely. When the evening begins to draw to a close, retreat to the ground floor bathroom where you can wash away the day or indulge a long soak before retreating to one of two lovely bedrooms; each tastefully-decorated and consisting of a king-size and double. In the morning, explore the beautiful coastal town of Christchurch, packed with charming attractions such as Christchurch Castle, the Priory and St. Catherine's Hill Nature Reserve. For an outdoor adventure, take a stroll through the breathtaking New Forest National Park, perfect for wildlife spotting and long walks. The town also offers a selection of local pubs, eateries, and shops for all your needs. Just a short drive away is the vibrant city of Bournemouth, where you can take advantage of the stunning golden sands of Bournemouth Beach for water sport activities, visit the famous Oceanarium, or browse the shops, restaurants, and bars along the pier. Whether you’re keen for a day immersed in nature or a vibrant city adventure, a holiday at Foxglove Cottage is guaranteed to be a memorable one.

The attractive Dorset waterside town of Christchurch is situated on the estuaries of the Rivers Stour and Avon, where they come together to form a magnificent natural harbour. Christchurch is a real gem of a town, offering visitors a wonderful and diverse holiday experience. The town centre boasts an array of charming shops and quality restaurants, whilst the 11th century castle ruins and the glorious Medieval priory, the longest parish church in the country, are well worth visiting. No trip to Christchurch would be complete unless you have strolled down to the pretty quayside, where you can enjoy refreshments whilst watching the ever changing boating scene, or you may wish to take one of the regular boat trips along the peaceful River Stour. Take your buckets and spades to one of the gorgeous sandy beaches nearby, and enjoy a ferry trip across the mouth of the harbour from Mudeford Quay to the sandbank with its colourful array of little beach huts. Should you tire of all the local attractions you’ll find plenty to do in the nearby family-friendly resort of Bournemouth, or venture into the New Forest National Park, both just a short drive away. Alternatively head to the local beach at Southborne which has a promenade that takes you through to Boscombe and on to Bournemouth. The lovely waterside town of Christchurch offers visitors a delightful and interesting year round holiday destination.
