Beach Retreat

Mudeford, Christchurch

Beach Retreat is a lovely modern bungalow, providing accommodation located over one floor, just around the corner from Avon beach, Mudeford quay and Christchurch harbour (all 5 minutes level walk away)

Please note that the upper floor of this chalet bungalow is the owners' private area, however they will not be living there during the rental period.

Offering a calm, quiet retreat after a busy day by the sea or harbour, its kitchen, dining and soft seating area overlooks a secluded, fully enclosed, sunny garden with sun loungers and plenty of space for Al Fresco dining.

The well-equipped kitchen has a dishwasher, microwave, double oven, fridge freezer and Induction hob. A separate utility room houses the washing machine and tumble drier. We even have a highchair for little ones.

In the separate, cosy lounge you will find a TV (with BT TV box), DVD player and CD player together with a selection of DVDs, CDs and board games.

There are 2 comfortable bedrooms, one with a king-size bed the other with 3ft wide twin single beds. Both rooms have plenty of wardrobe space, with a hairdryer in each

The family bathroom includes a bath and separate shower, please note there is a step up to the shower and toilet.

There is plenty of off road parking and secure storage for bikes if needed. Beach and crab fishing essentials are also provided!

We are family friendly and also welcome well-behaved dogs. Local beaches have year round dog friendly sections and there is a small woodland walk about 200metres away.

We like to encourage wildlife and have made a small ‘home for nature' in part of our garden. You may spot a variety of birds visiting the feeders and the pond.

By booking Beach Retreat you will not only be having a great holiday you will also be helping to raise funds for our chosen charity, which is Macmillan Caring Locally. 5% of all net booking fees is donated to Macmillan.

The local area has attractions and activities to suit all ages and tastes. Why not try your hand at crabbing on Mudeford quay or take a stroll on Avon beach along to Highcliffe beach? Or head over to Mudeford Sand Spit (famous for its expensive beach huts) and Hengisbury Head which can be reached via the ferry from Mudeford quay. Our 3 local nature reserves (Stanpit Marsh, Steamer Point and Hengisbury Head) are worth exploring, with the free visitor centre at Hengisbury Head providing a wealth of information around the history of the headland together with regular activities for children and adults. For those interested in longer walks or cycling, there is a classic walk/cycle from the doorstep to Sandbanks (via 1 ferry) or further afield to Studland (via 2 ferries).

For those interested in water sports, you can hire paddle-boarding, kayaking and wind surfing equipment just 5 minutes' walk away. Lessons in these activities are also available. Fishing trips are available from the quay, where you will also find a well-stocked fish stall. There is a small children's play park on the quay.

You are spoilt for choice when it comes to eating out locally with an abundance of pubs, cafes and restaurants. There are a number of traditional pubs including The Haven on Mudeford quay. Coastal restaurants include The Noisy Lobster and The Jetty (part of the Harbour Hotel and Spa) and cafes include The Beach Hut Cafe which serves its award-winning hearty breakfast together with lunches, cakes and ice cream. There is a Deli just around the corner which is also a cafe.
