About

*LATEST UPDATE* Riverside Park has now re-opened.

The Area

We are located on the banks of the River Stour in the centre of the beautiful historic town of Christchurch, within walking distance to the shops, restaurants, spectacular natural harbour, Hengistbury Head, Stanpit Marsh Nature Reserve, safe sandy beaches, children’s splash park, ferry service and historic treasures. 

The New Forest

We are also very close to the New forest with its ancient woodland, open moors and heathland where ponies, donkeys, cattle and deer roam free and stunning cliff top walks. 

Bournemouth and Poole

Bournemouth is less than six miles away, known as the ‘coast with the most’ with its seven mile stretch of unspoilt coastline and Blue Flag beaches and Poole with its natural harbour is the largest in Europe.

Our Houses

All our houses have patios with table and chairs from the lounge and sun balconies from the master bedrooms, overlooking our pretty secluded garden and the activity on the river. We have a fully equipped BBQ and Pizza Oven, lounging chairs and outside sofa in a beautiful tranquil setting looking out on to the English Riviera. Undercover parking to each house is available together with space to bring a boat on a trailer, kayaks or bikes. Cots and high chairs are available on request together with a modern laundry room and free Wi-Fi.
