holiday let
the retreat is modern and very clean. its a little difficult to find. up a very small alleyway, but is quiet and comfortable. christchurch itself is nice but apart from a lovely ploughmans in thr thomas tripp pub the cafes and restaurants in the town didnt really have what we wanted. however there is a toby carvery nearby and i can thouroughly reccomend the carpenters arms on the edge of the new forest. the food is excellent and all fresh. also take a trip to tuckton.and see how the rich live. beautiful houses and boats. you can go by car bus or lovely little flat bottomed ferry.

Nice accomadation
Property although close to a busy road is actually at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac. Easy walk into Christchurch town centre or Mudeford and the quay/beach. Reasonably priced accomadation ideal for a young family.
