Shearwater is a frontline lodge, overlooking the Christchurch Bay, with views of the Isle of Wight. There is a large deck with outside table and four chairs, plus two armchairs and a coffee table for those balmy evenings. There is also a sky deck on the roof with two sun loungers providing privacy for sunbathing. This is accessed via a spiral staircase, therefore not suitable for anyone with mobility issues.

The kitchen is well equipped with an electric fan oven, gas hob with cooker hood, full-sized dishwasher and washing machine. There is a large fridge/freezer and microwave. The lounge area has two comfortable sofas and one armchair and a large TV fitted with an Amazon firestick and DVD player. There is also a Bluetooth speaker. There are two double bedrooms equipped with double beds, the master having a walk-in wardrobe, dressing table and ensuite shower room. The second bedroom has a fitted wardrobe. There is a lovely family bathroom with bath and shower over. There's nothing quite like listening to the sea before going to sleep. We hope you love our holiday home as much as we do. MUDEFORD AND CHRISTCHURCH: Shearwater is sited on the holiday park of Sandhills in Mudeford. Mudeford Quay has a lovely harbour feel with fishing boats moored along the sea wall; a fresh fish stall; a small souvenir shop where buckets, spades and crab fishing equipment can be purchased and a local pub, The Haven House Inn, all within walking distance of our lodge. You can buy tickets for the ferry to take you across the water to the Spit and Hengistbury Head, which has a beautiful beach and nature reserve. There is a cafe situated on the Spit called the Beach Hut, which serves drinks and fresh food. There are various eateries within walking distance of the lodge, including The Noisy Lobster on Avon Beach and The Jetty, where you can enjoy award winning dining. Christchurch is a busy vibrant town, with a weekly market held on a Monday between 9am and 4pm. It is a short ten minute drive and there is plenty of parking and numerous shops, including independent boutiques and excellent restaurants to suit all budgets. Worthy of a visit is the Red House Museum and gardens which hosts events during the Summer months. There is the stunning Christchurch Priory with beautiful riverside walks alongside the ruins or great tower, which was part of a large Norman castle that once dominated the town. Activities in the area include paddleboarding (boards can be hired on the green by the harbour car park), boating, crabbing and there is a heated pool on the holiday park available for use by lodge occupants and a shallow splash pool for the children. ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach nearby ### Pool/Spa - Heated pool ### Internet - Available in the cottage: Internet access ### Parking and transport - Parking on site ### Food and drink - Dishwasher - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Toaster ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms ### Bathroom - 2 bathrooms - Bathtub or shower - Shower ### Outdoor areas - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Things to do - Heated pool ### 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 ## Similar properties ![Superior Double Room, Beach View | View from room](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/6000000/5080000/5075800/5075782/440d973d.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Alexandra Hotel Weymouth - Free Wi-Fi - Restaurant - Games room - Breakfast available 9.0 Wonderful 330 reviews £69 includes taxes & fees 15 Feb - 16 Feb [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-15&endDate=2026-02-16&selected=5075782&PinnedHotelID=5075782&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![2 restaurants, breakfast served](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/1000000/20000/18100/18097/4796b2b5.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Harbour Hotel Christchurch Christchurch - Pool - Breakfast included - Spa - Parking included 9.2 Wonderful 782 reviews £130 includes taxes & fees 26 Feb - 27 Feb [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-26&endDate=2026-02-27&selected=18097&PinnedHotelID=18097&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Superior Double Room, Sea View | Desk, bed sheets](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/84000000/83110000/83105100/83105063/60b911f2.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Fairhaven Hotel Weymouth - Free Wi-Fi - Breakfast available - Bar - Housekeeping 8.4 Very good 735 reviews £64 includes taxes & fees 25 Feb - 26 Feb [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-25&endDate=2026-02-26&selected=83105063&PinnedHotelID=83105063&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) [Compare similar properties](/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-26&endDate=2026-02-27&selected=92342540&PinnedHotelID=92342540&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2&comparePropertyIds=92342540,5075782,18097,83105063) ## 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 Information provided by the property may be translated using automated translation tools ### 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.
