This charming 18th-century coastal cottage is the perfect retreat for a couple looking to explore the stunning Dorset coastline. With beamed ceilings and an original feature fireplace, it’s full of character and warmth. Set in the heart of Stanpit village, you’re just a short stroll from Christchurch, Mudeford, and Avon beaches, as well as Stanpit Marsh. Bournemouth, Sandbanks, and the Jurassic Coast are just a short drive away. After a day of exploring, relax with a BBQ in the sunlit garden. It’s not the most luxurious, but its cosy charm and ideal location make it a great base for nature and beach lovers.

About Christchurch
As the waters of England’s south coast wind inwards from the sea, they form the River Avon and the River Stour, which then split up to house Christchurch right in the middle.
