Beach View details

Beach View is a beautifully presented, spacious, light and airy detached house occupying a stunning position directly on the sea front, and is just two hours' drive from London. Being a holiday cottage with style it has breathtaking panoramic sea (and beach!) views, from Hengistbury Head across to Poole Bay. The gentle washing of the sea can be heard from the house. A short walk takes you to the coastal zig zag path down to the glorious seven miles of golden beaches (voted Best Beach in the UK). A superb 34' long conservatory leads out to a garden with decked area.

It includes free access for four guests (at any one time) to a luxury child friendly hotel's heated indoor and outdoor pool, including Jacuzzi, sauna and gym facilities, a 10-minute drive away.

A five minute walk takes you to the local pub/restaurant. A cycle ride along the beach takes you to the Hengistbury Head Nature Reserve/ Mudeford. A five minute drive east takes you to the historic town of Christchurch which leads to the New Forest. A 10 minute drive west takes you to Bournemouth with its excellent shops and theatre. Sandbanks and the Jurassic Coast are an easy drive away. Southbourne is reputed to have a micro-climate making it one of the sunniest spots in England, but with many things to do if it rains.
Beach View appeared in the Guardian Travel section as the first entry in the English section of "The top 100 Beach Holidays Worldwide". (The full article and more pictures of Beach View can be found atwww.beachviewdorset.co.uk.)

Beach hut also available for use during the Summer months.
