This charming red brick cottage is set in the vibrant town centre of coastal Christchurch. Sleeping five guests and two canine companions, this home from home is made for family holidays with abundant amenities nearby. Bucket and spade days, riverbanks, and heritage attractions surround this idyllic setting, and you’re within half a mile of the town’s shops, pubs, and eateries so you can leave the car behind on rest days. There’s a choice of beaches within 2 miles, and the Dorset countryside offers additional choices for a fun family adventure.

Step inside the hallway of this semi-detached holiday cottage, decorated in contemporary style with calming pastel hues and cosy furnishings. Family meals are a breeze with the well-equipped kitchen, and there’s a dishwasher and washing machine so everyone can free up time for holiday fun. Settle in for games and film nights in the living area. When night falls, head upstairs and cosy up in your favourite bedroom. There’s also a contemporary-style family bathroom upstairs, and a separate WC downstairs. Step out from the dining area to find the sheltered walled garden outside with ample patio space and a BBQ area, perfect for al fresco dining under the stars, while off-road parking is available for one car.

Your holiday home is set between the town and the riverbank. Take a ferry or travel by car to local beaches and attractions, including beaches in Southbourne (2 miles), Mudeford (2.5 miles), and the traditional seaside resort of Bournemouth (5 miles). Hop on two wheels and cycle to Hengistbury Head where nature lovers can explore this fascinating headland of wildlife habitats. Or head to the New Forest National Park where you may find yourself bumping into donkeys and wild ponies who roam freely on local streets and country lanes.

Comfortable and well equipped cottage in a good location for local bars, restaurants and the sites of Christchurch. Some noise from the main road and the local school in the morning.

Great house in perfect location for the attractions of the town itself and for visits out to New Forest, Salisbury and along the coast. Lovely garden and outdoor furniture with well equipped kitchen, comfy beds, lots of local information provided, and welcome pack. Would certainly stay again if in the area.

The property was located in the Center of town but very quiet. Garden had high walls for privacy, my dogs were able to go straight to the park opposite the car park for their walks. There bedrooms were very useful. Kitchen had all the apparatus you might need. Will come back in the future.

The cottage was well equipped and in a good area, near to amenities. However, the house downstairs smelled very strongly of dog, due to the fabric sofas, the rug and the hoover not being emptied. There were feathers coming from the sofa cushions. We had to move the full hoover into the downstairs toilet it was that bad. The bathroom was dirty and nRead moreeeded a good bleaching, there was a very strange smell coming from the bathroom like stagnant water. Hide
