"We had wonderful time in Foxglove Cottage!"
Great location, on a quiet street, but only minutes from lots of handy shops. The cottage was really comfortable and pretty and we enjoyed having coffee on the sunny little terrace in the back garden. Lovely to be able to walk from the cottage along the river to the quay at the Quomps, and explore the castle ruins. Particular highlights were hiring sea kayaks from the nearby SUP School, having a cocktail in Dirty Gerties on their terrace below the castle, to swimming at our favourite and beautiful beach near Highcliffe Castle (a short drive away). Mickey was so helpful before and during our stay, and advising on parking and places to visit. A really perfect week!

"Property was clean enough."
Conservatory area needs a good bottoming though. (Obviously seen better days.) Garden a trip/slip problem and needs sorting out. Garden furniture uncomfortable and one of chairs was broken. We were very grateful that Mickey sorted resident's parking out for us.
Hello I’m very sorry if you didn’t find the property to the standard you wanted. I am uncertain about the comment on the conservatory. You are right it isn’t new but the pictures do accurately reflect what it looks like. If there was any maintenance issue, I would have been pleased to get it sorted for you, if you’d have contacted me. As I mentioned before you arrived, the gardener had not made it in, sadly due to the unsettled weather but unsure of the slip hazard as would correct anything like that! We found the broken seat on Friday after you left, sadly this hadn’t been reported before. We have left garden chair cushions and other items eg. Shower gels, shampoo at the cottage previously to provide more comfort but sadly they often go walkabout so we stopped. As I said, I’m sorry it didn’t suit you but it really helps owners to be notified of any issues at the time so we can try sort them out and make your stay more enjoyable. Property Owner

"The only let down was the parking - I understand it was first come first served, but we had to park at the end of the high st."
Paying was no problem, just didnt help me being in an aircast boot and then trying to load up the care to come home.
Thanks for your feedback and your message before you left. Being in the town centre the on road parking is limited and I am sorry you could get one of the spaces outside but I'm glad it didn't stop you from having a nice break. :) Property Owner

"Great central location for Christchurch and the surrounding area."
Very close to shops, restaurants, pub, cinema and lots of lovely footpaths and cycle trails. Excellent public transport with choice of buses and trains so no need for a car but there is permit parking near the cottage. Many thanks to the helpful owners.
Thank you so much for your kind feedback, I'm so glad you had a nice time. It was a pleasure to have you stay. Wishing you very happy future travel adventures and Foxglove will always welcome you back anytime! Property Owner

About the location
CHRISTCHURCH
Bournemouth 6 miles.
The attractive Dorset waterside town of Christchurch is situated on the estuaries of the Rivers Stour and Avon, where they come together to form a magnificent natural harbour. Christchurch is a real gem of a town, offering visitors a wonderful and diverse holiday experience. The town centre boasts an array of charming shops and quality restaurants, whilst the 11th century castle ruins and the glorious Medieval priory, the longest parish church in the country, are well worth visiting. No trip to Christchurch would be complete unless you have strolled down to the pretty quayside, where you can enjoy refreshments whilst watching the ever changing boating scene, or you may wish to take one of the regular boat trips along the peaceful River Stour. Take your buckets and spades to one of the gorgeous sandy beaches nearby, and enjoy a ferry trip across the mouth of the harbour from Mudeford Quay to the sandbank with its colourful array of little beach huts. Should you tire of all the local attractions you’ll find plenty to do in the nearby family-friendly resort of Bournemouth, or venture into the New Forest National Park, both just a short drive away. Alternatively head to the local beach at Southborne which has a promenade that takes you through to Boscombe and on to Bournemouth. The lovely waterside town of Christchurch offers visitors a delightful and interesting year round holiday destination.
