Property code: OC-R27894

Escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life, unwinding to the sounds of the River Stour from the comfort of this charming holiday home, set in the idyllic town of Christchurch. This is the perfect getaway for families and groups of friends who are looking to explore the clifftop walks and scenic riverside trails of Dorset’s coast and countryside.

Boasting plush sofas and a soothing neutral colour palette, the calming ambience of the homely lounge creates the perfect spot to gather with the whole group and share stories of the day’s adventures. If you decide to eat in, the kitchen/diner on the first floor offers plenty of space for keen chefs to get creative with their local produce. As the evening draws in, retire to the welcoming double bedroom or cosy twin room on this level, or head upstairs to find the sumptuous king-size bedroom with a private balcony, perfect for enjoying breathtaking sunsets. Completing the inside is a well-appointed family shower room. Outside, enjoy a morning coffee or al fresco evening meal on the tranquil patio, or stroll through the shared, lawned garden to find the banks of the River Stour - a serene spot to unwind with the sights and sounds of passing boats.

What could be more relaxing than a getaway to the historic, host town of Christchurch, which boasts the perfect blend of coast and countryside, offering miles of golden sand and scenic walks along coastal nature reserves. Culture vultures will be captivated by the extraordinary, 11th-century Christchurch Priory (0.5 miles) and the magnificent Grade I-listed Highcliffe Castle (4 miles), whilst families can spend hours learning to crab at Christchurch Quay (0.5 miles). Soft golden sand, a long promenade, colourful beach huts, and calm waters make Avon Beach (3.5 miles) the perfect spot for a relaxing escape.

If you drive there is a car port, if you travel by train the station is a short walk as is the high street with many bars and restaurants. The properties are beautifully clean and lawns well kept. there is seating to sit by the river directly from the accommodation.

Fabulous accommodation, much better than the photos! Loved being able to watch the boats and swans on the river from the property. Spotlessly clean and very comfortable and the owner was a pleasure to deal with and gave some useful info regarding the local ferry service. The covered carport was very useful for keeping sandy beach shoes etc.
