Central Christchurch, pretty grade II listed cottage

We had a great weekend at Sarah's cottage, it was very well decorated and maintained with a lovely seaside theme. It was also very convenient for access to Christchurch centre, shops, restaurants, bars etc but also very near lots of fabulous places to visit. Would recommend the property to couples or small families.

We have stayed here multiple times before. It is a beautiful cottage and ticks every box in terms of cleanliness, comfort and location. It is always well maintained and the standard has never waivered. We find new places to explore with every visit but still enjoy the immaculate local beaches and also just relaxing at the cottage (inside and outside). The area seems to have a very favourable microclimate! Would have no hesitation in recommending to anyone.

Lovely Cottage & very close to all the attractions of Christchurch.

This is obviously a well loved family holiday home in a great location for exploring Christchurch and the surrounding area. It is small, recently decorated, immaculately clean and comfortable; just a short walk away from shops, pubs, restaurants, takeaways, the quay and the priory. We were very fortunate to be able to book this cottage with a Sunday changeover, which better suited our travel plans. The booking process was simple and messages were answered quickly. On arrival, we were greeted with fresh flowers, milk and cream in the fridge, scones and jam. The mobile phone signal (O2) was not brilliant, but the WiFi worked well. We have stayed in many holiday cottages over the last 20 years and I must admit this was the most expensive and rather disappointing for the following reasons: Despite previous reviews, the kitchen was NOT well equipped. Yes, it had a large fridge freezer, washing machine, microwave, toaster, new oven, electric hob and toaster, BUT if you actually want to prepare food yourself rather than just re-heat ready meals then I recommend you take the following with you: Sharp knife and/or Bread knife Wooden spoon and/or table spoon Vegetable peeler Small sauce pans (there was only 1 large saucepan, I large skillet and 3 frying pans) Chopping board (although there is a wooden bread board) The extractor fan didn't work. In the main bedroom, the bed, although comfortable, was so large that there was only room for 1 bedside table and in the single room the rug slipped dangerously on the painted floor. Despite large fitted wardrobes in both rooms, there were only 4 coat hangers, in total - not nearly enough for a week's clothes for 2 people! The carpark was not 'adjacent' as advised, but it was only a very short walk away. At £6 per day plus £2 overnight (24/7 charging) this mounts up over a week. I put the Ringo app on my phone, (cash only in the machine!) but still managed to miss a payment and get a fine (it wouldn't let me just pay for the week like I wanted to!) Roadside free parking was almost non-existent and always full. There may have been a cheaper carpark further away. We didn't use the car most days anyway. We were advised to take our rubbish to the bin in the car park, which I felt very uncomfortable doing! The DVD didn't work. The hot water could be switched on only when we wanted it - it took half an hour to heat up. Overall, despite the minor disappointments, we had a good holiday; enjoying exploring the area
