5* A great stay. Mark provided great instructions and a useful pack. The area was beautiful and the property very close to a High Street full of lovely coffee shops and restaurants. We would definitely return!

5* Great family property! We were here for a family event. The house is perfect for 3 families coming together. Spacious with a kitchen area made for social gatherings. The property is very well equipped with everything you need. Lovely welcome pack to get you started. Beautifully clean, comfortable beds. Home from home. Well appointed for Christchurch and Bournemouth.

5* We had a lovely stay at Mark's place. The space was perfect for our needs we particularly loved the kitchen/ dinner/ family room and we spent most of our time in this room when we were in the house, it was a lovely space to sit and talk and flowed in to the garden through the French doors. The kitchen was well equipped and we had several home cooked meals there. It was about 15/20 minutes walk to the beach, which was just lovely away from the hustle and bustle of Bournemouth pier area. There were stretches along the beach that were suitable for dogs, which was great for us. The bedrooms were great and beds were all very comfy, we were a party of two couples, a single adult and a 3 year old so we had plenty of space upstairs. It was great to have two shower rooms (one of them with a bath) so that more than one person could shower at once. Thoroughly recommend and if we are looking to come to the area again with all the family will definitely choose Mark's place. Thanks for having us!

5* We managed to lock ourselves out of the house at 10pm on the evening we arrived and despite the lateness of my call Mark answered immediately and dealt with our problem swiftly in a friendly manner, reassuring us that we weren’t the first people to do this! Thank you for a very nice stay.

5* Mark’s place was perfect for our weekend near beaches! The house was absolutely beautiful and clean, it had everything we needed. Check-in went nice and easy. We throughly enjoyed the garden with its comfortable furniture. Undoubtedly, one of the best Airbnb I’ve ever stayed at! The host was very professional, responsive and friendly, they kindly provided a welcome guide with detailed instructions & lots of suggestions on what to see in the area. Highly recommended!

Paolo, June 2023

5* Excellent host who has obviously put a lot of thought into the place and making it a great place to stay . Lots of amenities/provisions. Great communication throughout and very accessible for queries. Would definitely stay here again. My family had a lovely time.

June 2023

5* We had a wonderful stay. The house is lovely, with a great location. Walking distance to Southbourne Beach, Christchurch Quay /Town. Mark is a great host and we would return again

Amee, June 2023

5* The house was as described, nicely decorated, very bright, good size for our two families of 4. The large kitchen/diner with a sofa which comfortably sat 2 people or 3 cosily was a nice place to socialise with bifold doors that open to the outdoor area. There was a garden dining table. The house also featured a shower room downstairs and separate lounge. The neighbourhood seems very safe, quiet and very pleasant. It was a 5 minutes walk to shops, bakery etc in Tuckton, 10 mins on bike to the nearest beach, Southborne, which is lovely. Our cycle to Hengistbury Head Beach was very picturesque though it may be a better hike due to the amount of 'no cycle' signs for many sections of the river route. You can also catch a ferry fairly close to the house. Bournemouth beach, about 3 miles away, is a different vibe from the other beaches mentioned and has more amenities for kids, a few rides on the pier, lively. The host was very responsive and gave lots of helpful info before the trip.

Michelle, June 2023

5* We had a great time staying at marks property! It was clean, lots of room and had everything we needed. The garden was lovely - we sat here in the evenings and there was plenty of room in the bedrooms. The kitchen was organised and very clean and we felt extremely comfortable staying here. Would definitely recommend!

Sarah, May 2023

5* Great location for walking along the coast to mudeford sandbanks and into Bournemouth. Peaceful residential location near to shops. Lovely house, well maintained and clean and tidy with everything we needed!

Clare, May 2023

5* Great house with easy reach of beautiful beaches and walks . Shops and restaurants within walking distance .

April 2023

5* Mark was a fantastic host, one example of this was I enquired if there was a hair dryer and the next day there was one delivered by Amazon. House was beautiful and a great base for visits to the local seafront and Bournemouth. Lots of little shops on the high street which is only a 2 minute walk from the house and the Riverside pub (only 5 minutes walk) did brilliant food. Thanks for a great stay!

April 2023

 

5* Perfect house, great location. well equipped for our family of 7. Easy walk to the shops in Tuckton. 15 mins drive from Bournemouth Town centre. We especially liked Hengistbury head beach which was about 5 mins drive. The owners were easy to get hold of and super helpful especially when we had locked ourselves out of the house....we had to ring them and they sorted it all within 30 mins, we were super grateful. We look forward to visiting again.

August 2022

5* - This is a superb place to stay and only a short walk to the beach. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We loved the open plan kitchen area, leading out to the garden. Made some very happy memories. Thank you again.

03 June 2022

Nice comfortable house in a good location for the river and the beaches.Kitchen could do with a lasagne dish for family meals. Host note: We have added a lasagne dish upon establishing that this was the item that was desired and missing from our kitchen, which we believe is is now very well equipped.

5* A great find! Ideally located within short driving distance of Southbourne coast, Bournemouth and the charming town of Christchurch. We heeded the suggestion of the landlord to go to Hengistbury Head which was a great, if unexpected, find. A little further away from the jurassic coast's other places like Durdle Door and Chesil Beach, though Corfe Castle and Swanage were a little closer. Good sized and well decorated yet functional rooms. Nice outdoor space serves as a good al fresco option for breakfast or dinner. A lot of care and attention has been paid to the property.

5* Lovely family home exactly as described and pictured in a quiet street a quick walk to the beautiful river and activities in Tuckton. The ferry to Christchurch is highly recommended as is the bakery in Tuckton a short walk from the house. The location for venturing out by car is ideal- We easily and quickly drove to Southbourne and Bournemouth beaches and Sandbanks (and the ferry) as well as Moors Valley Park which is highly recommended.

5* A lovely house for a group of people to stay at. The communal kitchen/dining room area was great to spend time in. Close to local shops and only 2 minutes drive to the beach.

14 August 2021

5* Good communication and easy to deal with. Very nice house in a residential setting. Walking distance to shops and river. Caught the ferry from Tuckton to Mudeford. Short drive to Southbourne beach which is a lovely beach with plenty of parking nearby. Had a lovely week here with family.
