A lovely house, with excellent space and facilities. We were a party of 8 adults, one child and two dogs. It provided an excellent base for visiting the area of Southbourne, Christchurch and Boscombe. Also for a little further out was Poole and nearer was Bournemouth.It is also possible to pay visits to the New Forest.We have been to the area many times in different locations,and found the location of Stourcliffe House to be one of the better places to stay

I would recommend Stourcliffe House for a family seaside holiday. The house is well equipped and clean. The location is excellent only a short walk from the beach ,no need to get in the car ,as a cart is provided to take all your belongings to the beach.Indoors there is a well equipped play room and our grandchildren particularly enjoyed playing table tennis in the garage.There are shops nearby and plenty of places to eat and a good bus service which runs along the coast.o
