Lovely family break
Great communication from the very beginning from the property owner. Accommodation had everything we needed for a short break before Christmas. Excellent location too, within walking distance of a number of shops, bars and restaurants.

Superb Stay
Spacious property, well equipped, super comfy beds and great location for accessing many of the great beaches on the Dorset coastline. Brilliant for walking and running as only minutes from the Stour Way. Local shops and really lovely independent bakery less than 5 minutes walk away. Would definitely re-book without hesitation.

Family holiday
Perfect house for our needs. 3 generations and a dog. Only downside need to use cars daily. Too far to walk to beaches. We had perfect weather and a happy week.

Great house in a great location!
We had a lovely stay in August. The host was very communicative and the welcome pack received prior to arrival was very helpful. The house had plenty of space for the four of us and we loved the big bifold doors which opened onto the garden. The house was very secure and in a nice area very close to Tuckton high street and the river. We would definitely stay again!

Great Family Property
We were here for a family event. The house is perfect for 3 families coming together. Spacious with a kitchen area made for social gatherings. The property is very well equipped with everything you need. Lovely welcome pack to get you started. Beautifully clean, comfortable beds. Home from home. Well appointed for Christchurch and Bournmouth.

Fantastic location and spacious house
From the start Mark has been super, really helpful, extremely quick with responses and made the whole booking process ever so easy. House was exactly as described, well equipped and a great location for us as we love long walks along the beach with the dog. - 15 min walk to the beach and 20 to Christchurch. We left the car on the driveway all through the stay!
