The perfect retreat for the beach loving family, Gull’s Way is a beautiful sea front cottage a stone’s throw from the beach at Friars Cliff, and having views out to Christchurch Bay and the Isle of Wight. The cottage has remained in the same family since built. The current owners, both artists, have sympathetically and completely refurbished it to a very high standard. The refurbishment is complemented by high quality new furnishings for 2010 throughout the property.
The accommodation is on 2 floors. To the first floor are a large double bedroom and a second twin/double both with fabulous sea views. The third bedroom, which is a twin with bunks, has views over the rear garden. A travel cot is available and the main double room has added space for converting the chair to a single bed if required. To the ground floor is a sun room, fully tiled shower room, fully equipped dining kitchen and large living room with views out over the bay and to the rear garden.
To the rear of the property is a glass covered patio, with outdoor dining, accessed from the dining room, with well stocked mature gardens and Belfast sink with hot and cold running water. The front of the property has off road parking for two cars with additional parking facilities in the adjacent Avon Run car park. The Sun Room overlooks the front garden with views out across the bay.
The cottage is family friendly. A travel cot, high chair and stair gate are available. We regret, however, with the exception of guide dogs, no dogs are allowed.
Lettings are available on a week to week basis, Saturday to Saturday; however, it may be possible to book short breaks off season. A 20% non refundable deposit is required at the time of booking with the balance due two weeks before the start date of your holiday. A deposit of £150.00 will be taken upon collection of the keys and will be returned within 3 days of the end of your stay provided there is no damage or excess cleaning required.
You will receive a Welcome Pack on arrival consisting of tea, coffee, sugar, milk and bread as well as details of the house and local area.
Linens are included consisting of bed linens, towels and a beach towel for each guest.
