Lovely cottage, great location
Lovely cosy cottage, well equipped and comfortable, great for dogs too with enclosed garden and yards from the beach. Only minor gripe is that more care could have been taken with cleaning. Many cobwebs upstairs and too much evidence of the previous visitors who clearly had a very hairy white dog!

Perfect location
If you want a beach location, you can’t beat this lovely little terraced cottage just a stone’s throw from lovely Southbourne beach. The kitchen is really well stocked, beds and sofa were comfy and the BBQ and hot tub were very welcome additions after a day at the beach! Would recommend and would stay again.

Great Location
This was a nice retreat away from the hustle and bustle of London. Great layout and excellent location to town and beach. Damian was great to work with and had very prompt communication. My only recommendation is the couch is a little uncomfortable but other than that I would highly recommend! Cheers!

Great cottage in a great location
The cottage is immaculate and is very close to the sea. We could see the sea from the first and second floor and loved going to sleep listening to the waves lapping at the shore. Damian was very responsive and answered any questions we had and recommended some great dog friendly places to eat at. Would thoroughly recommend and looking forward to going back at some point

Great beach location
The property was clean with lovely decor - loved all the little ornaments, it was a nice touch. The kitchen had everything we needed. It was enough space for all of us plus our little dog. The loft bedroom was a little warm but it was fine once we opened a window. The garden was nice to sit in too.

A welcome short break with my dogs. Lovely location and secure garden for dogs. Plenty of local walking and dog friendly beaches. Welcome bottle of wine and biscuits. A bottle of milk would also have been welcome especially as tea and coffee were provided. Bed very comfortable with lovely sea views from the bedrooms.

Simply Stunning
We stayed for our twin boys 6th Birthday. They were so excited so apologies if they were a little noisy. The cottage was simply stunning, the attention to detail and finishing touches were spot on. It was clean, modern and had all of the amenities we needed. It’s a short walk to the beach which was perfect for the boys to try out their new scooters. The front garden is a little sun trap and we enjoyed relaxing with a cup of tea while the kids hunted for daddy long legs. Damian was really helpful and friendly, we would love to come back next summer to make the most of the beach. Thanks for a lovely stay.

Beautifully renovated cottage really close to the beach
The owners have attractively renovated this little cottage to a very high standard, and fitted in everything you could need for a seaside holiday all year round. The sandy beach is 4 minutes walk away so you can swim before breakfast...go down early before the wind picks up and it's calm and still. Clean, lovely bathrooms (both on middle floor), sheltered front south-facing deck or rear terrace for sun or shade all day. Comfy beds, nice linens, neat kitchen with all appliances, and lovely welcome treats on arrival. Attic room with double bed has amazing views, worth the very low ceilings. (& make sure you are briefed on how to close the large Velux windows properly on windy days). The middle floor bedroom (which we had as a twin) has a large walk-in shower in the ensuite. The family bathroom next door is light and bright with another rainfall shower over the bath. Sofa bed in living room is a normal size double but wouldn't recommend it for two adults because one person will be on the cushion that's rather narrow. There's even a charcoal disposable BBQ provided, which we used on the beach, but sadly no longer beach towels as previous guests did not look after them. We had a great week - thanks Damian.

Hi Debbie Thank you so much for coming to stay with us, and thank you for the lovely review. I actually purchased lots more beach towels after you mentioned it, so we will supply these now. Also, I’m a bit worried you may not have been using the sofa bed correctly, as it lies completely flat into a 5 foot double bed when you fold the back of the sofa down, the cushions aren’t required at all....it’s a Friheten sofa bed from Ikea...we should have shown you so apologies for that. Hope you are well, hope to see you all again some day. Kindest regards Damian & Mel x

Can’t wait to return
Perfect Accommodation, everything we could ask for & more!! Travelling with two dogs for nearly 6hrs to find a complementary fizz & treats on our arrival really was the perfect start to our staycation!! Off street parking so no stress of where to park, the cottage is beautifully decorated throughout & spotless too. All of your essentials are within the cottage, washing machine, ironing-board, iron etc....even beach towels are provided. Amazing views from the top bedroom of Southbourne beach. The garden is safe & secure too. Damian was the perfect host, calling in to see if we were ok & if there was anything that we needed....the guide of where to eat/drink was a brilliant idea too. The beach is a couple of minutes away from the cottage, take a left & you are on to a dog friendly beach (keeping walking up to Mudeford beach & you will come across the beach bar) take a right & you are heading towards Bournemouth (no dogs allowed) Christchurch is minutes away in the car with plenty of parking or a 20 minute walk (we used the water taxis too) We have had an amazing chilled week & cant wait to re-book.

Perfect place for a small family
This beautifully and thoughtfully renovated terraced cottage was perfect for our week long stay with two small children. The beach was an easy walk for a 4- and 6-year. There is a small fenced lawn for the kids to play and a patio for parents to relax. Kid's bedroom is on the second floor with split single beds. Double bed for parents is in the converted attic space - a heads-up (or rather heads down) for tall people. A small backyard has a grill and there's off-street parking. On-demand TV and board games for that rainy afternoon. Being in a terrace you have shared walls either side, but we never heard our neighbors. Pictures in the ad were representative. Landlord is next door and was highly responsive to enquiries before our stay, but never intrusive during it. He was very pleasant and welcoming. Would stay here again without hesitation. Perfect. Perfect. Perfect.

Wir hatten einen schönen und erholsamen Urlaub. Damian und seine Familie waren sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Das Ferienhaus war sauber und gut eingerichtet. Die kurze Entfernung zum Meer war für einen schnellen Spaziergang am Abend hervorragend.
