Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Mark Emerson
Ever since we opened our doors in 2021, we had one goal in mind: helping to enable our guests to have an amazing holiday within stylish and comfortable accommodation (ideal for couples or families alike) to enjoy the beautiful Dorset coastline! We love trying to create the “perfect home from home” for our guests!
Why they chose this property
Enjoy the sandy beaches, delightful river walks, go paddle boarding or plan exciting day trips to the New Forrest -ideally located for whatever you want to do! My very favourite walk is Hengistbury Head, which is only a few minutes from the house and has 360° panoramic views of the sea and Christchurch Harbour and leads onto a sandy beach with views also of the Isle of Wight. There are plenty of shops/cafes/amenities on your doorstep, and we have ample private parking for 2-3 cars making life is easy for our guests.
What makes this property unique
Our house is a solid traditional detached 4 bedroom, 2 bathroom home that has a modern-contemporary feel because it has a very modern open plan kitchen diner (with a Rangemaster oven), which has long bifold doors that can open onto the patio and garden creating a really sociable and alfresco area. It’s ideal for two families, as it can sleep 8 people, or equally great as a couples getaway! We decided to go for a modern coastal decor theme, so we kept things fresh, clean and coastal! We love to try and bring the feeling of the seaside into the home. The property is very quiet and peaceful and the rear garden is very secluded (and fully secure), and becomes a lovely little sun trap in the evening! Perfect for when you get back from the beach or day out in the New Forrest! 😊
