It is in an amazingly secluded spot away from the main crowds - towards the end of the spit. It faces out towards the sea side of the spit, where you can walk a few steps over a dune onto a beautiful white sand beach with clear blue water for a swim. The hut also has wonderful harbour views, to watch the impressive boats within Christchurch Harbour. Our hut is perfect for a family or couple to stay in and you are welcome to bring your well-behaved dogs with you (2 max), to enjoy the beach as well! This is very much a glamping experience! The beds are comfortable with three single mattresses on the mezzanine level and a small pull-out double downstairs (our family of 5 sleep here comfortably). There is a gas hob and oven, solar powered fridge, and 12 volt point for phone charging. In true camping style there is no running water, but a water point a couple of steps away to fill up jugs for drinking water or kettles for drinks or to wash up with. There is a sink in the hut. The toilet block is a few steps away and a shower block (accessed with a key for hut residents only) around 100m away. We provide duvets and pillows for you to use. Please bring your own bed linen or sleeping bags and your own towels. We professionally clean the hut each month and have a 'self clean on leaving policy' so we ask our guests to clean the hut when they leave to the standard that they would like to find it in. If a little sand worries you or the possibility of having to re-wash a saucepan or plate/mug, then a beach hut glamping experience is not for you. We do leave cleaning products under the sink and there is a broom and dustpan and brush. There is an outdoor picnic bench and outdoor lounge chairs to relax on provided with the hut. There is also a table and chairs within the hut. The spit is a unique peaceful environment, a wonderful opportunity to really get away from it all!! Sorry, the hut isn't a place for stag / hen parties and the sandbank has a strict no noise policy after 10pm along the beach. How to access the hut: This can be a real mission (which is part of the fun), but once you get there it is totally worth it. Cars are not permitted onto Mudeford Spit but for the last part of your journey there are several options: -- Park at Mudeford Quay car park (BH23 4AB, offers daily and weekly rates) then get the Mudeford Ferry over to the spit. The hut is a couple of minutes walk away. Please note that the Mudeford Ferry sailing times vary and can be found on their own website. Park at Hengistbury Head car park (BH6 4EL), you can then walk or cycle approximately 1 mile on a flat path through a nature reserve. There is also the option of the land train from the head car park, or booking the land rover to take down your luggage. PLEASE ENSURE YOU CAN ACCESS THE HUT BEFORE BOOKING. IF IN DOUBT CONTACT US FIRST, ESPECIALLY IF YOUR ARRIVAL IS BEFORE EASTER. Things to do: Simple pleasures really feature highly!! A cup of tea or glass of wine on the beach is a must! Our children love playing around in the dunes, swimming in the sea, crabbing and fishing off the end of the spit, as well as flying kites. Or hire a Beryl bike, from the spit to cycle around, or walk up to Hengistbury head to admire the amazing view. Lots of water sports opportunities: Shoresports is based near Mudeford Quay. You can rent SUP boards, kayaks, dinghies, windsurfers, and they offer excellent lessons (our children loved them). Fishing trips from Mudeford Quay. Predator boats offer this. Eating options: There are several options: at the hut there is a hob and oven and we also provide a charcoal BBQ (please bring own charcoal) and clean the BBQ after using. The Beach House Café offers lots of takeaway options (pizza, seafood and pasties, etc), alcohol and ice creams. They also have a small shop which sells milk, bread, buckets and spades, etc. If you are coming for a few days though, I would really recommend you bring food supplies with you. There are plenty of options over on Mudeford Quay - take away fish and chips, pub, café and the Noisy Lobster. ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach nearby ### Food and drink - Oven - Refrigerator ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms - Sofa bed ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom ### Outdoor areas - Patio ### Pets - Pet friendly ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - Fire extinguisher ### General - Unit size: 11 square feet ## Policies ### Check-in Check-in time starts at 3:00 PM Minimum check-in age - 21 ### Check-out Check-out before 12:00 PM ### Special check-in instructions You will receive an email from the host with check-in and check-out instructions ### Pets Pets are allowed Service animals are welcome, and are exempt from fees ### Children and extra beds Children are welcome ### Events No events allowed ### Smoking Smoking is not permitted ## Important information ### You need to know This property is managed by a professional host.

Very much a basic glamping experience, the value for money is being right on the beach and the beautiful views and sunrises/sunsets. Upstairs mattresses and pillows were comfy and the hut was well equipped with the essentials and some games/toys. With no power socket available make sure you take USB chargers for phones. ##### Beccy D.
