Fantastic Holiday Home

House was superb for all amenities, communication was good with the owners kate and Scott. Location is fantastic for beach, shops, restaurants, pubs and exploring the area. Have been coming here for 20 years, probably the best house for location and cleanliness.

Amazing!

We absolutely loved staying in Katie and Scott's vacation home. It is spic and span, even more spacious than the pictures might suggest and just so very lovely. The outdoor space is magnificent as well! The location couldn't be any better with its closeness to a beautiful beach and also to Christ Church. Thank you Katie and Scott for sharing your space with the vrbo community!

Highly recommend

Cannot fault this house or the owners. The communication before and during our stay was great. The house itself is immaculate, airy and spacious and was perfect for our family of 5 and a dog! It is beautifully furnished with everything you could possibly need and the bbq was used most evenings due to a short heatwave. The location couldn’t be better, with a short walk to the stunning dog friendly beach. Christchurch Is also a nice walk with many rewarding places to eat and drink before heading back. I would not hesitate to recommend a stay here, as long as it is not the week we want to go. Thank you for a fabulous week.

2nd Time Stay

This was our second stay at Chapel Cottage and I can honestly say we were just as happy with our stay as we were first time. We are a family of 5 covering 3 generations and the dog Clyde and this house and garden suits us all perfectly. The facilities are fantastic, the house clean and welcoming and the garden is perfect with a fab bbq and lovely garden furniture. The accommodation provides everything you could possible need and the shed provides all you need for a beach visit. Just love staying , fantastic location 5 minutes walk from a dog friendly beach and easy walking distance to Christchurch. Communication with Scott and Katie is easy and they are always quick to reply to any queries. We can't recommend this property enough.

A lovely week's stay.

We much enjoyed our stay, the house was just as in the photos, a lovely space to relax in. Once we figured out the Nest heating it worked very well for the cooler evenings too. It was also so kind to find a wealth of household goods available too, saving the hassle having to bring or buy them for a week. (The only thing we could not find was a tea strainer, so we bought one and left it in the cutlery draw!) We also enjoyed the quiet garden, which was great to sit out in in the sunshine. Thanks again to Scott and Katie for a lovely stay.

Fantastic Family Holiday

The property itself is absolutely superb, we were really blown away how lovely it is inside. The photos do no do it justice! We know the area fairly well, the local beaches etc, there is so much to do. But the location of this house is brilliant to walk to Southbourne beach which is fantastic. The hosts were really helpful with all questions along the way. Our young children loved it here and we would love to return at some point again! Thank you!
