The bungalow was very comfortable, well furnished and beautifully clean. There was a large garden but sadly the weather was too wet to sit in it, we just had to enjoy it from the comfortable conservatory. The area was a quiet road with several nearby places to eat. Public transport was good.

Very comfortable bungalow with all you need for a good stay. Lovely area. Easy walk to the beach though have to cross a busy road over to Highcliffe castle then round the grounds to the zig zag concrete path down to the beach. Christchurch is nice, coast coffee cafe gets a mention for nice lunches. Went to travel the steam train between Norden and Swanage via the chain link ferry at sandbanks. Went to Beaulieu museum which is worth a visit and see the New Forest and ponies on the way. Overall a lovely stay and our second time there. Owners very helpful and contactable. Will go again.

Lovely location and plenty of space
The property is nice, with lots of outdoor space (which was welcome with two young children). Location is great for travelling to beaches and other places of interest. The beds were super comfortable, which is sometimes a big issue I find when staying away! Thank you to Steve and Sue for a lovely stay.

Mostly pottering in Poole.
Enjoyable stay in the bungalow, comfortable beds, slightly small bathroom but usable, handy having the cloakroom as a second toilet facility. Kitchen had everything we needed to cook some meals. Conservatory was nice especially when the sun came out. Quiet area no road noise although the main road is busy and difficult to cross on foot to get to Highcliffe castle. Tearoom at Highcliffe is not a patch on what it was a few years ago, only good for coffee and cake. Nice walk from Highcliffe Castle to Mudeford Quay with cafes and toilets on the way. Bungalow ideally placed to visit Poole/ Bournemouth/ New Forest etc had some good days out with nice weather. Also handy for Tesco express/ Co-op in Highcliffe a short drive away. Would definitely go again to the property.

Lovely holiday
We had a lovely holiday here. The bungalow is very comfortable, spacious, well equipped and has a good sized enclosed garden. It is in a convenient situation with shops and pubs within walking distance. The walk to the beach was rather longer than suggested but no problem for fit adults.

Short break for a change of scenery
The property is ideal for those who have walking difficulties. Off street parking is a real luxury for us!! The bungalow is situated in a very quiet residential cul-de-sac, but is close enough to local shops and sea front. All the rooms were very comfortable, we especially enjoyed sitting in the conservatory looking out into the garden. A couple of minor negative points. My mother-in-law (89) wouldn’t use the shower as there was nothing to hold on to. The kitchen could do with a few more utensils and cooking equipment. But overall I would recommend this property for a nice quiet break.

Great place to stay and location
We had a really nice stay at the bungalow. As other reviews have said the decor isn't modern, but it was immaculately clean with a lovely garden and has everything you need. It's located in a nice neighbourhood and great location, 5 mins walk from Highcliffe Castle and beach. The New Forest is very close with many walks and also Moors Country Park for the kids. Five stars with no hesitation

Great choice for family with young children
Stayed with 2 young children and MiL in December 2019. House is really well located for the beaches in Highcliffe, Mudeford and not far a drive to go to Bournemouth. Excellent playground walking distance as well. Everything we needed was there at the house (including toys for the children) , and it was warm and cozy despite the cool weather outside. Communication with the owner was clear and all the information we needed for our stay provided. Happy to recommend a stay here!

Great location
The bungalow was spotlessly clean and although furniture a little tired (as can be seen on the website photos) did not detract from the enjoyment of our stay. The conservatory was a lovely space to sit early evening and had plenty of toys for children. It had a good size garden and parking was easy. It’s in a great location for walking to the beach, local eateries and the high street as well as easy driving to visit the New Forest and surrounding towns ......... and there are plenty of good golf clubs within 20 mins radius.

Lovely comfortable bungalow, close to the beach.
Easy booking and quick confirmation. All details given in time and useful travel route recommendation. Everything as described and beds comfortable. Everything in kitchen we needed. Nice large garden to relax in. We have teenagers but would be good property with younger children. Very good location. We enjoyed being able to cycle and walk to the beach. Also very good access to new forest and we found off road path into new forest for cycling. Good amenities nearby for shopping.
