Leave the comfort of 23 Millhams Street and immerse yourself in the coastal wonders nearby, beginning with a leisurely stroll along Boscombe Pier. Occupy yourself in the rich heritage and stunning waterfront views of Highcliffe Castle, or venture to Hengistbury Head Visitor Centre and learn about the surrounding landscapes and wildlife. Spiritual tranquillity awaits at Christchurch Priory, where you can admire its beautiful architecture and serene ambiance, before exploring the medieval remains of the Norman House and Castle. Spend an afternoon roaming the captivating exhibits and picturesque gardens of The Red House Museum. For a day at the seaside, head over to Mudeford Spit, Avon or Southbourne beaches, and inland, guests can enjoy scenic strolls through the New Forest National Park. Further afield, day trips can be made to the Isle of Wight via the Lymington ferry, Purbeck and the Jurassic coast via the Sandbanks ferry together with visits to Weymouth and Portland.

Regardless of where you venture, 23 Millhams Street makes for a charming return to rest and rejuvenate for the adventures that tomorrow may bring.

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.
