Boasting wonderful outside space with walks from the doorstep along the banks of the River Stour, this charming home-from-home, nestled in Christchurch, is the perfect getaway for couples and families craving a tranquil escape. Lovers of the outdoors can embark on the many coastal walks and countryside trails on offer, before returning for an evening tipple on the open patio.
After a day’s adventure, the soothing neutral colour palette of the homely lounge is the ultimate remedy for tired walking muscles; unwind on the plush sofas and catch up with your favourite programmes on the Smart TV. When hungry tummies rumble, lead the way to the first floor to rustle up a locally-sourced feast in the kitchen/diner, and enjoy your efforts with a glass of something chilled at the dining table. End a busy day by catching some stunning melting sunsets from the balcony in the king-size bedroom on the second floor, before slipping into a peaceful slumber - there’s also a charming twin bedroom on this floor. Completing the interior is a well-appointed shower room. Outside, dine alfresco with an evening tipple on the tranquil patio, before strolling across the shared lawn to reach the banks of the river to lose yourself in the sights of boats bobbing on the waters.
The historic town of Christchurch is a haven for outdoor explorers, with scenic walks along the banks of the River Stour and local coastline, plus two historic Quays and castles to explore.
