Sustainable Property
Sustonica, the first global sustainability standard for holiday lets.
Our aim is to create lasting holiday memories and we intend to do so both responsibly and sustainably.
To deliver on this we've set out a number of environmental and social pledges which help to focus our efforts;
you can read more about them in our Impact Report.
This is why we've partnered with Sustonica, the first global certification for holiday lets,
to support our owners to be more sustainable.
The Sustonica certification focuses on four key areas: energy conservation, water conservation,
waste reduction and promoting inclusiveness. They are on a mission to become the most widely
recognised sustainability standard for holiday rentals and a catalyst to reduce emissions of holiday
lets and influence guests to reduce their own household consumption too.
Properties that display the Sustonica badge have successfully passed the criteria,
which align with the UN Sustainable Development Goals and the Global Sustainable Tourism Council standards,
and their owner has made a commitment to look after our planet as well as you.
"Property was lovely, everything had been catered for."
Nice touch of bottle of wine, coffee and biscs waiting for us. The location was perfect. Town, park, Priory all in walking distance. Will definitely book again!
Couple very minor small things; Parking was a little tight, as had large vehicle. Think might struggle with 3 cars unless they were on small size.
The heating/water system had an annoying drone, noticeable during night, which was heard mostly in upstairs bedroom area.

"This is a beautiful house, so well equipped and well stocked."
Clean, comfortable and it feels like home. So much thought put into furnishing this place. Little touches like a little torch in every bedside cabinet, a hair dryer in every room! There was enough cutlery and crockery for 8 and more. We were welcomed with a bottle of wine, Biscuits and coffee pods, what a treat. The weekend we stayed we experienced Storm Bert, the wind and rain was awful. Fortunately, this beautiful place made us feel cosy. I would come back here again.

Unfortunately the sofas were very uncomfortable and very low and we were unable to use them.
Thank you for your feedback.
We have noted your comments about the sofas and will look at replacing them. We have only ever had positive comments about the comfort of them until this year so obviously it is something we need to address. Thank you for bringing this to our attention and we hope to welcome you to Christchurch again in the future.

"This cottage is ideally located for the quay and the town centre."
The cottage was well equipped with everything you could possibly need.
I would ask that you update the directions to the cottage, we have been to Christchurch before so I was aware there is a one way system in place and following the directions given for the cottage means you are directed to Wick Lane car park (I guess based on the postcode), it's better to drive down Sopers lane and turn left into St. Margarets and then left again to Wick Lane, where the cottage is just on the left.
Thank you for your feedback. We are glad you enjoyed your stay and the owner is reviewing the directions that we send so thank you for your comments.

However a couple of things were very annoying. Firstly we arrived after dark, could not find key code box. Was fixed to a beam in the porch over 6 feet in the air to be reached by a broken plastic stool. Had to use torch on phone and stood on a case to open after a long time trying to find it. Secondly the only television stations available was on a Firestick, no normal channels available and no proper instructions on how to use it.

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.
