Mandalay - Luxury Beachfront Far East Inspired 5bd
a beautiful home in a stunning location. Mandalay had everything we needed for a weekend away. Very spacious accommodation with extensive outside space. Great value for money. we loved it.

Little Mount, Sea view,log fire,3 beds,nr Yarmouth
We had a great stay at Sammy's, a beautiful location. The kids felt right at home and the garden was a lovely space for them to run around in. Lovely hamper on arrival too.

Waterfront Retreat, Unmatched Location-Club Casita
Great peaceful location. Didn't realise it was a static home but it was really nicely done out. Huge TV with Netflix (kids super happy in the evening!) Communication was great and The Boathouse restaurant which was a few minutes walk away was so great. Lovely location and great food. Really well placed for exploring the local area and gorgeous beaches.

A large stylish garden flat close to the beach
Stayed at Diannes for 5 days. Flat was clean with everything you needed for a nice holiday. Garden safe for the dog and even dog bowls provided would definitely go again

Stunning sea views at a charming character cottage
A lovely cottage, with all the amenities and comfy beds in a great location. We really enjoyed our 5 night stay and, in particular, the view of the sea, watching the boats sail by, the rabbits and pheasants on the lawn, the woodland walk/costal walks, quirky shops at the fort, being on Yarmouth's doorstep, lighting a real fire at night and sleeping peacfully after a day exploring the beautiful Isle of Wight. A big thank you to our hosts for arranging discounted ferry tickets and a lovely welcome pack. We may be back for more of the same!

Stunning 2 bed & 2 bath, Seaview, pets welcome!
We had a great few days in Southbourne. The flat is very smart and there are great sea views from the balcony. It's a fairly quiet neighbourhood most of the time but the beach is popular with locals when the sun comes out. The two pubs nearby are ok for a quick drink, but it's worth the 5 minute drive into Christchurch to find nicer watering holes and eateries. We had trouble finding a parking space a couple of times but even when we had to park on the sea front, we could still see the car from the flat. Tanyth was very proactive with communications, checking in with us prior to arrival and during the stay. We had no issues but I am sure she would have responded quickly if we had.

Stylish flat by the beach with stunning sea views.
Sebastian’s flat is in a perfect location. I chose it as my husband can’t walk long distances and everything was really nearby. No need to use the car if you want a break from driving. Beautifully comfortable, with lots of extras provided. We’ll be back! Thank you x

Sunny garden flat near stunning beach
Fantastic stay, throughly recommend to anyone, great location,close to the beach,pubs and Southbourne high street. Everything you need for a home from home!

Crescent View-Hoburne Naish Holiday Park
The caravan was absolutely spotless, it was lovely having the two decks, we had lunch on the dining table outside when the weather was so nice. We had everything we needed in the caravan, lots of kitchen bits for cooking and wifi was very good. It was ever so peaceful where our caravan was and everyone was friendly. The club house was lovely, it was so nice to be in such a dog friendly place. The amenities for children were brilliant too. We absolutely loved our stay, we are gutted there is no availability in the summer to come back, but we can see why, its just beautiful. The hosts were brilliant and very accommodating x

3 BR family friendly @ Hoburne Naish,Barton on Sea
We had a lovely stay - it was great for the kids especially the green outside for them to run around. It was also very good value for money.

Relaxed “Beach Getaway" Nr. New Forest
Beautiful land convenient location that made it easy to access the local tourist spots, including the New Forest, Beaches, harbour towns and Peppa Pig World. The house was lovely, really well presented and included some thoughtful touches, such as chocolates for our kids, Prosecco for us and a lovely personalised welcome message. The park itself is ideal for younger families, with loads to do and access to the beach. Carly was super responsive when our sat nav took us to the wrong entrance and really communicative before, during and after our stay. We'd definitely considering returning next year.

2-BR Penthouse Apt. close to Beach with Pool*.
perfect little staycation! the place is huge, so clean, great pool for the evening when the weather isn't great. walking distance to beach and pubs and then a short drive to Bournemouth. Matt is a great host and would definitely recommend.

2 BDR nr cliff top at Barton on Sea, Hoburne Naish
We needed a place to stay to visit my daughters and to check out the local area as we are looking to move to the area. The accommodation was just the ticket. It was easy to find and was walking distance from all the places we wanted to visit. It was very clean, and they provided everything we needed (particularly like the welcome pack). The instructions were spot on, and they even provided details regarding local shops and restaurants. It was certainly big enough, with a very spacious living area and kitchen. All in all an amazing experience. Thank you!

Cranbrook Lodge, Sandhills
We stayed here for just over a week with our three children -everything was clean and tidy when we arrived and it was a nice place to use as a base for going to the beach/Hengistbury Head. Lovely holiday!

Bungalow with private hot tub, shared pool
We had a lovely time in Richard's place. Everything was as described and immaculately clean. He was very responsive and gave us very clear instructions and very useful tips on local restaurants, things to do etc. The hot tub was amazing and the girls enjoyed using the swimming pool. The location is ideal to get to the Needles, Alum Bay, Freshwater etc and the local beach is an absolute plus! Thanks Richard!

'Ellie', lovely caravan near the beach at Mudeford
A lovely place to stay in a beautiful location right next to the beach. We've had such a nice time visiting family nearby and Rebecca's accommodation provided us with the most cosy and comfortable place to stay. Spotlessly clean and so well equipted, everything we needed for a long weekend. My four year old granddaughter was delighted to be so near the beach and enjoyed crabbing at Mudeford Quay, right on the doorstep. She loved the outdoor pool and the park. A peaceful location for adults too! Would definately recommend.

Bournemouth 2-Bed Flat, Free Parking & Near Beach
The property was lovely. exactly what I expected and more! Everything was squeaky clean upon arrival and was very impressed with the complimentary popcorn, biscuits, tea, coffee and milk upon arrival. Very nice touch indeed! We was surprised to see such a vast selection on games which kept us entertained for the one day where rain decided to make an appearance for a full day! All in all we had a brilliant stay and would definitely recommend and even book again to stay here. I would like to make a special shout out to Jemma who tends to the property as she goes above and beyond to ensure everything is plain sailing. My niece left her luggage after checking out, Jemma took the time to message me and arranged for us to retrieve the bag despite us having left the area so thank you for that Jemma! Thank you for the stay, was great!!

Luxury Beach front modern apartment with sea views
Had a fantastic stay. The flat was in a perfect location and very clean and comfortable. It had all we needed for a relaxing break. Duncan was very helpful in giving information about the flat and also local recommendations. We would love to return, hopefully before too long.

Beach hut on a truly fabulous sandy beach
Words can’t describe how close to perfect this place is. We stayed 2 nights in June so, naturally, we experienced blazing sunshine and a monsoon!! We had a perfect little cove all to ourselves. We had soft golden sand under our feet from arrival to departure. We saw the purest of all sunrises over the Solent. We swam in clear, warm water and drifted off to sleep with the sound of waves on a sandy beach. It isn’t cheap, but the memories that we have been made at Sandy Toes are absolutely priceless. THIS IS PARADISE!

Very close to the beach and edging the New Forest
We had stayed here before and enjoyed the area greatly so were pleased to have an opportunity to return for a week. The apartment is ideally situated for the beautiful Dorset coastline, with Highcliffe beach only a few minutes walk away. The apartment is clean, cosy and very quiet with everything needed for a relaxed, comfortable stay, including a well-maintained private garden to sit in. We were lucky to have beautiful warm, sunny weather and visited many of the local places of interest – Highcliffe beach and castle, Mudeford Quay, Hengistbury Head, Christchurch, Bournemouth, Poole, Brownsea Island, to name a few – all excellent and well worth visiting and some within easy walking distance. There are great places to eat and drink in Highcliffe itself, with an even greater choice in surrounding towns and villages. John is an excellent host and communications were first rate at all stages of our holiday – we would highly recommend.

The Coach House, Mudeford Quay
Cracking location just a 5 minute walk from the beach. Well equipped and nicely laid-out cottage provided a very cosy retreat from some miserable February weather. Gorgeous walks and welcoming pubs in all directions. Thanks for a great weekend!

Amazing ground floor apartment close to the beach
Kate was so responsive and the apartment was very clean. Great location to the lovely Sobo beach and great breakfasts at Brown Dog which is a few minutes walk from apartment. Very clean and would stay again! Thank you

Panoramic sea views by Southbourne beach
Just back from a wonderful 4 nights with my daughters and grandchildren. On 3 levels so plenty of room for everyone. Great location and lots to see and do. Great that the lovely clean beach is just across the road. Lots of fun memories made. Elaine is a lovely, communicative host. Thankyou Elaine from us all.
