Most of them hold the prestigious blue flag award for cleanliness.
Mudeford Quay sits at the entrance of Christchurch Harbour and is the home of the towns thriving fishing community which provides much of the produce for the Quays fish stall. The picturesque Quay houses a handful of fisherman’s cottages and there are spectacular views along the coast and across to the Isle of Wight.

Comfortable and well equipped
Very nice stay in this hidden gem. Had everything we needed, clean and spacious. One word of caution if you have a big car the entrance is tight but you do have an allocated parking place right outside. Would stay again

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.

Lovely
We found the house to be very clean and great for a family with 2 young children. The fenced off garden was a bonus as our toddler couldn't escape! We had everything we needed.

ANOTHER wonderful stay
This is the second time staying here and we love it. The location serves as a great base for seeing all the different things in that area of the world. The flat is comfortable and clean and the kids love crabbing in Mudeford. We will be back.

Very happy with our stay
The property was clean, cosy and perfect for our long weekend break. It was a relaxing place to be when we returned from our days out, with modern amenities, excellent shower/bath and even a small garden for our pooch to enjoy. The hosts communication was great and she was lovely to talk with. I would definitely recommend and definitely use again if we are in that neck of the woods.

Really bad phone connection
We had a pleasant stay. The beds were a little dusty on the frames and there were some hairs on the double sheet. There was a musty smell to the property which was a bit off putting but the kitchen was clean as was the bathroom. Had everything we needed. Felt a little spied on with the ring doorbell
