“We really enjoyed our stay in this property as it is in a very convenient location for the lovely walk into town by the side of the river.”

The area around The Priory and the castle ruins are very peaceful. We also walked to Hengistbury Head - over the bridge and through the fields which is quite flat but can be wet under foot and is a fair distance. There is a visitor centre and cafe there and a large car park if you do not fancy the walk. Be aware that the Red House museum is closed on Mondays.

“Very much enjoyed staying in this comfortable house.”

Particularly liked being able to leave the car in the allocated parking space and walk by the river into Christchurch. Very convenient for going to Hengistbury as well. We would certainly aim to go back to Captain’s Retreat one day.

“This cottage was excellent value for the money paid.”

It was spacious, well equipped, clean and extremely comfortable. It is in an excellent location and the parking is good with your vehicle off the road - a point which I am always very concerned about. My friend and I are hoping to return to Christchurch next year and we certainly intend to try and re-book this cottage.

Quiet - comfortable - clean. What more do you want ?.

“Location for access by car to coast and forest is excellent.”

Walk to Hengistbury Head in one hour. Town centre ten minutes walk. Riverside three minutes away. The house is comfortable, warm and cosy. Parking for two cars outside front door. Situated in very quiet cul-de-sac. We would use this property again.

The location is excellent too. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay - especially birdwatching on Stanpit Marsh and Hengistbury Head!

The property

A tastefully furnished and well-equipped, mid-terrace holiday home, tucked away in a quiet residential cul-de-sac, a short stroll from the quayside in the lovely, historic Dorset town of Christchurch.

This charming cottage is an ideal base for families or friends with the Dorset coast within easy reach, as is the beautiful New Forest National Park.

Once you enter this lovely cottage you will find a pleasant and well-equipped kitchen/diner that has everything you need to create tasty treats for your group, and from here there’s a door leading out into a small, enclosed decked garden, which provides a great place to sit out with your morning coffee and plan the day’s activities.

Also on the ground floor is a cosy sitting room with electric fire, and there’s the convenience of a basin and WC on this floor too.

Upstairs, both bedrooms boast en-suite facilities, so there’s no queuing for the bathroom in the morning!

To the front there’s allocated parking so you can leave your car all day and wander the short distance into the town centre and treat yourselves to a meal and a tipple at any one of the numerous quality pubs and restaurants.

Enjoy exploring the old castle ruins and stunning priory, or just relax with an ice cream in the riverside park, where often bands play, and if you fancy a boat trip then take one of the regular ferries that gently chug their way up the River Stour.

Take the short Wick Ferry by the Captains Club Hotel and discover a lovely pathed walk through fields towards the famous Hengistbury Head, a Site of Special Scientific Interest, which boasts stunning coastal views.

Within reach are the golden sands of Mudeford and all the attractions of the vibrant seaside resort of Bournemouth.

This really is a superb Dorset holiday home to be enjoyed all year round.

About the location

CHRISTCHURCH

Bournemouth 6 miles.

The attractive Dorset waterside town of Christchurch is situated on the estuaries of the Rivers Stour and Avon, where they come together to form a magnificent natural harbour. Christchurch is a real gem of a town, offering visitors a wonderful and diverse holiday experience. The town centre boasts an array of charming shops and quality restaurants, whilst the 11th century castle ruins and the glorious Medieval priory, the longest parish church in the country, are well worth visiting. No trip to Christchurch would be complete unless you have strolled down to the pretty quayside, where you can enjoy refreshments whilst watching the ever changing boating scene, or you may wish to take one of the regular boat trips along the peaceful River Stour. Take your buckets and spades to one of the gorgeous sandy beaches nearby, and enjoy a ferry trip across the mouth of the harbour from Mudeford Quay to the sandbank with its colourful array of little beach huts. Should you tire of all the local attractions you’ll find plenty to do in the nearby family-friendly resort of Bournemouth, or venture into the New Forest National Park, both just a short drive away. Alternatively head to the local beach at Southborne which has a promenade that takes you through to Boscombe and on to Bournemouth. The lovely waterside town of Christchurch offers visitors a delightful and interesting year round holiday destination.
