This spacious holiday home is in the pretty village of Burton, close to both the Dorset coast and the New Forest National Park. The property sleeps four guests and makes the perfect base for couples and small families, with its sociable layout and fully enclosed garden. Enjoy day trips to the glorious beaches around Christchurch (1.5 miles) and the vibrant seaside town of Bournemouth (8 miles).

The home-away-from-home has an open-plan layout, and ample space for everyone to spread out and relax during the holiday. Stretch out on the comfortable sofas to watch the Smart TV in the lounge/diner and gather around the large dining table for memorable mealtimes as a group. The separate kitchen has everything you need for a self-catering holiday, and there’s a cute breakfast bar for perching at with a morning coffee. Upstairs, choose from a welcoming king-size bedroom with an en-suite shower room or an inviting twin. A stylish bathroom completes the accommodation. The enclosed garden is a real suntrap, and has a patio with outdoor furniture, as well as a lawn where children can play.

The market town of Christchurch is 1.5 miles away, and has a great range of independent shops and eateries showcasing local produce. The town boasts four miles of glorious coastline, with some beautiful sandy beaches. Mudeford Sandbank is a particular favourite amongst locals, and enjoys far-reaching views towards the Isle of Wight. There is no direct road to the beach, meaning it’s rarely crowded, and instead is reached by a cute land train from Hengistbury Head. Just 8 miles along the coast is the lively town of Bournemouth, known for its excellent collection of bars and restaurants, as well as an impressive sandy beach.

As soon as we arrived and entered the property, it was 'wow' in every room. Cannot recommend this place highly enough, the comfort of the beds and furniture, kitchen equipment and not to mention the unbelievable welcome pack, never known anything like it! The hosts are the most loveliest of people you will ever come across.

The property was well presented, comfortable, spacious and, quite simply, ideal. The location is superb for exploring Christchurch, the New Forest, the coast and historic towns and cities are within easy reach. The welcome pack provided by Lynne and Martin was amazingly generous and most comprehensive. A thoroughly enjoyable stay. Thank you.

Could not fault the property it is certainly worth it's 5 star rating. It is spacious, extremely clean and tidy, the garden private and practical and the hosts Martin and Lynne both extremely friendly and hospitable. Even though this property is adjoining to theirs you did not lose any privacy. They also had suggestions for local places to visit. WRead moreould certainly recommend the Tall Trees walk at Brockenhurst and the beaches of Avon and Highcliff. Hide
