It is spacious, light with high ceilings. Vertical blinds are installed to cut out glare and help to keep the interior cool on very sunny days. The single bedroom is particularly roomy and is equipped with two 3 ft beds and a walk-in wardrobe and storage. The wrap-around decking has a table, 4 folding chairs (with cushions), a parasol and is more than ample for four people. The steps leading up to the decking are ‘low rise' making them easier to navigate for anyone with limited mobility. Mudeford Mudeford is so well situated in Dorset and I have always thought how lucky we are to have two rivers – the Avon and the Stour – and the historic New Forest (a national park). Sandhills has small gates that open directly onto the promenade that links Mudeford Quay with Avon Beach. To the left is Avon Beach with the Noisy Lobster and a lovely beach. To the right is a short walk to Mudeford Quay, Haven House Inn and Café, Local Fish Stall and Ferry. Name of the lodge links to my son's previous career as a Captain with P & 0 Cruise Line. He is now owner of the Mudeford Ferry which takes you across to the Mudeford Beach where you can explore the famous Hengistbury Head and nature reserve. On a sunny day, see if you can find the path that runs beside the lily pond! One of my favourite walks on the Head. Christchurch From the Mudeford Beach pontoon you can also take the River Ferry up to Tuckton Bridge towards the historic town of Christchurch. Lots to explore there from the Priory, river-side walks, shops and the many tea rooms. Christchurch is also only a couple of miles away by car. Further afield there is the New Forest with little villages such as Lymington, Burley, Brockenhurst and many more. I have lived in this area most of my life and I still find new roads I have not been down before. From Lymington you can take a ferry to Yarmouth and have a day out on the Isle of Wight, either as a foot passenger or take the car. Bournemouth and Poole A few more miles beyond Christchurch are the largest towns in the area, full of shops, gardens and beaches. Beyond these towns there is the rest of Dorset to explore with its little villages and lovely countryside. ## Policies ### Check-in Check-in time starts at 4:00 PM Minimum check-in age - 21 ### Check-out Check-out before 11:00 AM ### Special check-in instructions You will receive an email from the host with check-in and check-out instructions ### Pets Pets not allowed ### 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.
