    “The Happy Hut was in a perfect location for us we had a great time exploring the forest and the beaches.”

    The facilities were ok but the outside area was very untidy. The tree was growing over the door into the hut. The grass was dead and there were lots of brambles around the hot tub. Unfortunately it wasn’t very pleasant to sit outside. The hut inside was ok but the bathroom was very small. It was clean and the bed was very comfortable. The eggs were lovely but no wooden spoon to cook scrambled eggs with

    Thankyou for your feedback, The green areas are left majority unkept to make it feel as natural as possible for wildlife with the brook and woodlands running along side it. I have now given it a good prune back of the prickly stuff! Everything is growing like mad in the sunshine! There is a large decking area to sit out on and a clear pathway to the hot tub. Glad you liked the welcome pack of goodies as-well as the eggs from your neighbours and the lovely wildlife you saw. We have the largest hut size and the en-suite size was standard but I agree it’s taken up mainly by the big shower. So many of my guests are returning already year on year and we offer a discount for these clients, so hope to see you again soon. Kind regards Alan 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.
