Very spacious attractive house. Great outside facilities - very nice pool and sports/leisure area. Outdoor barbecue etc. Good location as well near Sandbanks and Canford Cliffs
Excellent spacious accommodation clean with everything you would need for 3 generations (from nearly 3 years old to 73) seeking a traditional family holiday. Fantastic garden with climbing, football, trampoline and table tennis. Very good communication with host. Beautiful blue flag sandy beach within walking distance. Good eating places from Rick Stein to fish and chips. Overall - BRILLIANT

About the host
Hosted by Lisa Beynon
We are a family of 6, with 4 boys who are very active! We love the area because we are so close to all the things that we enjoy. The boys have learnt to sail, windsurf, paddle board, surf and mountain bike as well as lots of other things. I walk 5 mins and can be right next to the water doing a HIT class or yoga and then have a lovely swim in the harbour. Magical! We do have two cats, Nyla and Jessica who need feeding once a day - they look after themselves, coming and going as they please through the cat flap and they like children.
Why they chose this property
The property is great for large families. Downstairs there is a 10 x 5m lounge with an l-shaped sofa facing the Tv, and a more cosy sofa facing the garden and woodburner. The dining area sits 10 and has a "place on table tennis table" for fun afterwards if it is raining or there is a "full-on" outdoor one in front of the lounge. There is an agawith a hob in the kitchen as well as a double oven, a wok burner, a microwave and all the mod cons. We have two fridge freezers, as well as a 2 dishwashers. There is a rustic kitchen table with bench seats and chairs which is great for easy dining and breakfasts. From the kitchen , there is a lovely sun room area with a bar football and a cupboard full of recipe books for avid cooks amongst you. We have bi-folding doors to open up the downstairs living space onto the garden where there is an outdoor table, seating 10, and a corner sofa to relax and enjoy the garden. At the end of the garden is a treehouse,a trampoline, a high zip wire, tree swings and strap lines so plenty to keep the children occupied. We back onto Luscombe nature reserve which is another adventure playground for the children as well as a quick cut through to the harbour.
What makes this property unique
We are within walking distance to beautiful blue flag beaches and the harbour for more activities.
