It was extensively remodelled some years ago and at that time, so we were told, featured in a national glossy magazine as an “inspiring house by the sea”. The Beach House has been well maintained and used as a holiday home by the current owners and can now be very comfortably enjoyed by up to 6 individuals. Downstairs comprises a large kitchen/diner, utility room, living room, reading room, study and downstairs cloakroom/shower room. Upstairs comprises, 3 bedrooms, 2 of which have king size beds and en-suite shower rooms and the third has 2 single beds. There is also a family bathroom which could be for the sole use of the twin bedroom if needed. The master bedroom has a balcony on which is a small table and 2 chairs which is a lovely place to sit with a coffee or glass or wine to enjoy the sea view and watch the world go by. There are three TVs at the property: one in the kitchen/diner, one in the living room and one in the master bedroom. The first two are Virgin Cable TVs. The TV lounge also has a CD player. There is also free Wi-Fi throughout the property. The Beach House has a well laid out private garden to the rear, ideal for outside living, with quality Bridgeman dining table and 6 chairs, 2 sun-loungers, a small sofa and 2 armchairs. In addition, there is a small pretty garden to the front. The garage can be found to the rear of the property and has space for the storage of water sport equipment, bikes etc. There is parking for at least 2 cars, possibly 4 depending on vehicle size. Parking is in front of the garage where with care two smaller cars can park alongside each other, or one car comfortably. There is also parking for another car (possibly two if the first car reverses as far back as the bin store), in the drive immediately to the side of the house. Well behaved dogs are welcome by prior arrangement. Owners should bring their own bowls, bedding and towels for their dogs as we believe pooches like the familiarity of home smells. We regret that the Beach House is not suitable for hen parties, stag dos or other riotous gatherings as we would not wish to upset the tranquillity of the area for our neighbours. Smoking is not allowed in The Beach House. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the house: Internet access ### Parking and transport - Parking on site ### Food and drink - Dishwasher - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Toaster ### Bedrooms - 3 bedrooms ### Bathroom - 4 bathrooms - Bathtub or shower - Shower ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Heating ### 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 ## Similar properties ![Beach](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/94000000/93320000/93319500/93319467/4032409e.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### 'Raggleswood' - a seaside home on Friars Cliff, Mudeford Christchurch - Kitchen - Washer - Pet-friendly - Outdoor space 10 Exceptional 3 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-19&endDate=2025-11-20&selected=93319467&PinnedHotelID=93319467&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/121000000/120790000/120781100/120781013/e63ef7b1.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Mudeford Moments - a 3 bedroom bungalow located in a peaceful cul-de-sac Christchurch - Washer - Dryer - Pet-friendly - Parking available [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-19&endDate=2025-11-20&selected=120781013&PinnedHotelID=120781013&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Beach nearby](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/77000000/76460000/76457600/76457510/w1435h1080x243y0-f314bd47.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Cosy Cottage by Christchurch Quay/Town/Beach Christchurch - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Pet-friendly [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-19&endDate=2025-11-20&selected=76457510&PinnedHotelID=76457510&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/25000000/24090000/24083600/24083586/205da93d.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Little Haven - a mudeford - house that sleeps 8 guests in 4 bedrooms Christchurch - Sea view - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer 10 Exceptional 19 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-19&endDate=2025-11-20&selected=24083586&PinnedHotelID=24083586&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Fridge, microwave, oven, stovetop](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/81000000/80820000/80811700/80811632/60d174bb.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Gorgeous Dog Friendly Cottage - New Forest And Close To The Beach - Hampshire New Milton - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Pet-friendly [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-19&endDate=2025-11-20&selected=80811632&PinnedHotelID=80811632&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Terrace/patio](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/91000000/90020000/90017800/90017780/d0fde404.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### 7 bedroom, Stunning Cottage with Hot-Tub & Cinema Room Ashley Heath - Kitchen - Pet-friendly - Free WiFi - Parking available 9.8 Exceptional 144 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-19&endDate=2025-11-20&selected=90017780&PinnedHotelID=90017780&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![TV, fireplace](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/77000000/76600000/76592700/76592694/db6f3649.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Kittiwake - in the heart of the coastal town of Highcliffe-on-Sea.

We appreciated the garden furniture with cushions and the balcony with views of the sea. The Noisy Lobster is a 3 minute walk away. We enjoyed a great seafood dinner there (booking advised). This is a great spot to explore Bournemouth, New Forest and other surrounding areas. Would definitely return and recommend! ##### Sam H.

Was a great 4 days to rest up before re-joining the rat race of London, we will definitely be back !! ##### Helen A. Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Scott B. 13 Apr 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Spacious home near Mudeford The Beach House is a lovely home for staying near Mudeford or Christchurch. This is lovely and spacious, with multiple reception rooms; as we were a family of five plus dog it meant we could all come together or have our own space when it was needed. The dining table and kitchen set up or also plenty big enough for cooking and entertaining. The wraparound garden is fenced in and gated at different points, along with multiple access doors from the house. Mudeford itself has a nice long beach to walk along, and there are various pubs and restaurants in the area. Whether it be a simple roast at the Nelson, or we went for a lovely birthday meal at The Jetty. ##### Scott B.

Would have loved to have had a bbq in the garden as the weather was glorious. ##### Liz W. ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [The Fisherman's Haunt](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Christchurch-Hotels-The-Fishermans-Haunt.h4395271.Hotel-Information) > > [Oulton Hall Hotel, Spa & Golf Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Leeds-Hotels-Oulton-Hall-Hotel.h15948.Hotel-Information) > > [The Park Royal Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Warrington-Hotels-The-Park-Royal.h24462.Hotel-Information) > > ['The Shed', A luxury lodge with a view, Sandhills Holiday Park Mudeford](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Christchurch-Hotels-The-Shed.h44473118.Hotel-Information) > > [The Windermere Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Windermere-Hotels-The-Windermere-Hotel.h13431161.Hotel-Information) > > [Harbour Hotel Christchurch](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Christchurch-Hotels-The-Christchurch-Harbour-Hotel-And-Spa.h18097.Hotel-Information) > > [De Vere Cotswold Water Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cirencester-Hotels-De-Vere-Cotswold-Water-Park.h1770053.Hotel-Information) > > [Cambridge Belfry Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cambridge-Hotels-Cambridge-Belfry.h1103020.Hotel-Information) > > [DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel and Spa Chester](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Chester-Hotels-DoubleTree-By-Hilton-Hotel-And-Spa-Chester.h527788.Hotel-Information) > > [Redworth Hall Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Newton-Aycliffe-Hotels-Redworth-Hall-Hotel.h517266.Hotel-Information) > > [Royal Whitby](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Whitby-Hotels-The-Royal-Hotel.h57917040.Hotel-Information) > > ['Serendipity' - by the beach on Sandhills Holiday Park, Mudeford](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Christchurch-Hotels-Serendipity-By-The-Beach-On-Sandhills-Holiday-Park.h60766528.Hotel-Information) > > [DoubleTree by Hilton Cheltenham-Cotswolds](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cheltenham-Hotels-Doubletree-By-Hilton-Cheltenham.h65899.Hotel-Information) > > [ibis budget Manchester Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Manchester-Hotels-Ibis-Budget-Manchester-Airport.h75715089.Hotel-Information) > > [Ufford Park Woodbridge Hotel, Golf & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Woodbridge-Hotels-Ufford-Park-Woodbridge-Hotel.h12685.Hotel-Information) > > [Dunston Hall Hotel, Spa and Golf Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Norwich-Hotels-Dunston-Hall.h519081.Hotel-Information) > > [The Bear of Burton](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Christchurch-Hotels-The-Bear-Of-Burton.h4231354.Hotel-Information) > > [Stargaze from a beach hut on the Mudeford Sandbank](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Christchurch-Hotels-Sea-View-Stargazing-Beach-Hut-On-Mudeford-Sandbank.h60915344.Hotel-Information) > > [Lakes Hotel and Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Windermere-Hotels-Lakes-Hotel-And-Spa.h901040.Hotel-Information) > > [Last Drop Village Hotel and Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bolton-Hotels-Last-Drop-Village-Hotel-And-Spa.h9341.Hotel-Information) > > [Cave Hotel & Golf Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Faversham-Hotels-Cave-Hotel-Golf-Resort.h33410673.Hotel-Information) > > [Radisson Hotel Manchester City Centre, A Verified Net Zero Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Manchester-Hotels-Park-Inn-By-Radisson-Manchester-City-Centre.h2601411.Hotel-Information) > > [De Vere Tortworth Court](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bristol-Hotels-De-Vere-Tortworth-Court.h570412.Hotel-Information) > > [The Jetty - pet friendly and by the beach on Sandhills Holiday Park, Mudeford](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Christchurch-Hotels-The-Jetty-Pet-Friendly-And-By-The-Beach-On-Sandhills-Holiday-Park.h44444312.Hotel-Information) > > [Grosvenor Pulford Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Chester-Hotels-Grosvenor-Pulford-Hotel-Spa.h790572.Hotel-Information) > > [Cedar House Boutique B&B](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Christchurch-Hotels-Cedar-House-Boutique-BB.h36055349.Hotel-Information) > > [Four Seasons Hotel Hampshire](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hook-Hotels-Four-Seasons-Hotel-Hampshire.h986107.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Garden Inn Silverstone](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Towcester-Hotels-Hilton-Garden-Inn-Silverstone.h48251404.Hotel-Information) > > [Hampton by Hilton Bristol Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bristol-Hotels-Hampton-By-Hilton-Bristol-Airport.h16543862.Hotel-Information) > > [De Vere Wokefield Estate](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Reading-Hotels-De-Vere-Wokefield-Estate.h1044123.Hotel-Information)
