Sandy shores, craggy cliffs, pints in pub gardens and picnics on the beach – holidays to Southbourne are both scenic and wholesome. This modern yet cosy one bedroom home makes for the perfect seaside base. Natural light pours in through bi-folding doors – open them up and find a large patio space for breakfasts in the sunshine. Lie back in the hammock with a good book and some treats from the complimentary luxury hamper, before walking the mere 100m to Southbourne Beach for its award-winning shorelines and excellent surf spots. Come home with lungs full of sea air and sandy feet – you can wash them in the outdoor shower before going inside. Settle in for a home cooked meal, rustled up in the kitchen, or if you’re not in the mood for cooking then head to one of the fabulous restaurants close by. Finish the day with a bottle of fizz on the south-facing balcony, and watch the sun fade into the ocean.

Local guide
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. Beyond the salty spray of the beaches, this little town is peppered with Norman castles and ancient heritage. It’s one of the UK’s top retirement spots, but that certainly doesn’t mean there’s nothing going on here – you...
