Great communications with host. Property met all the needs and expectations of all 3 generations of our family. High standards of decoration and maintenance and extremely well equipped. Would thoroughly recommend this property.
I stayed here to celebrate my 70th birthday with the special people in my life. Everything was beyond perfect, Helen, our host was absolutely lovely and went the extra mile to make sure we had the best time. Great location, very well equipped and squeaky clean everywhere.
Great location to dog friendly beach and the castle. Well equipped. Enclosed garden was secure for our dog and also enjoyable to humans. Very clever sun room where the glass panels can be slid back on 3 walls!
Very nice property, well equipped, good location and a lovely garden which we used every day for dining. Configuration of rooms worked really well for our multi-generational party. Helen was very helpful and informative.
Great house and garden. Quiet location, clean and very well equipped. Location is perfect for families. Beach, shops, park and playground all walkable.
This is a lovely property in a good location for exploring the New Forest and the coast. It is very nicely decorated and furnished and is well equipped. It has a beautiful garden which can also be enjoyed from the conservatory.
A super, well equipped house in a splendid area. Highcliff is a great place to stay with the beach, cliff top walks and woodland areas to wander in. Highly recommended.

Many thanks for letting me know directly what the issue was, I really appreciated that, and the offending stained item has now been replaced. I was pleased to hear you had a wonderful family holiday and would return.
We had a wonderful long weekend here. The house was beautifully furnished, with a comfortable and welcoming feel. It was very spacious and well equipped - it had everything that we needed. Would definitely recommend.
The house and garden were both beautiful and clean. Helen was amazing at returning any messages and queries we had both before and whilst there. Would definitely stay there again. Thanks again for our stay, we had a lovely relaxing time and even the weather seemed to behave for us!
Everything we needed and we all enjoyed the ‘glass room’ where most of our leisure time was spent chatting and playing games. Lovely big garden but of course not at its best because of the hot dry summer.If we ever wanted to stay in Highcliffe again we know where we will be booking!!
Ideal for family holiday including grandparents adult children and grandchildren. Well organised accommodation and well equipped. Good garden and barbecue. Close to different beaches and the towns of Christchurch and Muddiford.
Amazing property in a perfect location Loads to see and do near by. Great communication from the property owner.
The property is very modern, really spacious and very clean and tidy, comfortable beds quiet location.
We will definitely be going back.

Lovely quiet location. Easy access to many sites and places. Property was well maintained, spacious and very comfortable. Excellent facilities and attention to detail. This is our 2nd visit to the property.
This was a really lovely house . Very clean, spacious and comfortable . The garden was particularly lovely .
The house's location was also excellent being close to the beach , Highcliffe Castle and Highcliffe high street . We all thoroughly enjoyed our stay .
Stayed with 3 generations of my family. The layout of the bedrooms was ideal two down and two upstairs. Everything was provided for a Christmas break with family. Everyone agreed that we couldn’t have wished for more, Recommend for Multigenerational stays.
We chose this property because the excellent reviews, and we certainly weren't disappointed. For a 'three' generation family holiday it met everyone' s requirements - near lovely beaches, New Forest for walking, horse riding (which proved to be a great success) easy access to shops and pubs etc. The property is clean, extremely well equipped from kitchen facilities to cushions for the garden furniture. There is even nets and buckets for crabbing at Mudeford Quay. Helen, the host, answered any queries before and during our stay promptly. It is definitely a home from home.
The house was fantastic for 3 generations, having downstairs bedrooms and bathrooms was ideal. There was plenty of space for 8 of us, the house was very clean and well equipt.The garden was amazing we loved spending time in it.
The location was perfect, so close to the beach, the village, as well as the New Forest.
We hope to come back
Property was modern, clean & well maintained. It was light, bright & spacious.
The garden especially was very well maintained and we found everything just as was shown in the pictures on the website.
Good location, close to pubs, beaches & Highcliffe Castle. Quite location, very peaceful. All helped to enable us to have a good family restful holiday.
Very clean and well provisioned - especially the kitchen and laundry room. We enjoyed using the Glass room and Garden. Our sporty sons and grandsons enjoyed not missing their sports channels. It was good being able to walk to the beaches through Highcliffe Castle grounds and leave the car behind in the drive.
Great property in a lovely location - wonderful to be able to walk to the beach! Beautifully presented property with excellent ground level amenities for those with less mobility. Perfect for a short break in celebration of a special birthday. We were a family of 6 aged 22-82 and it was perfect for us. Somebody even ordered beautiful sunny weather for us too!! 😄
Beautiful garden. Huge and interesting. Immediately felt we were on holiday.
Glass conservatory a pleasure to sit in - we spent most of our time there.
Aunt aged 95 from US loved the house, the decor and especially the garden. Despite walking difficulty was able to get into and around ground floor and garden with ease.
Quiet street with parking and easy access to Highcliffe Castle, New Forest and other places.

About the host
Hosted by Helen Donaldson
Hi, after 30 years of working in the sports of athletics and triathlon I now live in Highcliffe and enjoy the wonderful south coast lifestyle. I have two properties I rent in Highcliffe and I very much enjoy providing a great holiday experience for my guests.
Why they chose this property
So close to the beach and Highcliffe Castle grounds its a perfect holiday spot. I love going for a run along the promenades first thing in the morning, its a beautiful location to live and holiday in.
What makes this property unique
Very short walk to the beautiful beach, with the advantage that the area is less well known and away from the big crowds at Bournemouth. Plenty to do in the local area with the New Forest only a couple of miles away too!
