With the preponderance of wood in the walls and furnishings, as well as the chalet-style kitchen and warm lighting throughout, there's a distinct Americana style to this recently converted home. However, it's actually to be found right on England's south coast and the seaside at the village of Milford-On-Sea can be reached in just five minutes in the car. Despite this proximity to the coast, the cabin is more rural in feel. For a start, it's located down a quiet country lane and there's a large garden surrounding complete with fruit trees — which guests are welcome to pick at the right time of year. Out among this manicured outside space, there's also a barbecue and a fire pit that will see you through long summer evenings. When you want to more of the charming locale, there's a pair of bicycles that guests are free to borrow. Hurst Castle takes just over twenty-five minutes to reach if you're feeling like a bit of a challenge and there are plenty of nearby pubs to reward yourselves with well-earned liquid refreshment.

About Christchurch
As the waters of England’s south coast wind inwards from the sea, they form the River Avon and the River Stour, which then split up to house Christchurch right in the middle. Beyond the salty spray of the beaches, this little town is peppered with Norman castles and ancient heritage. It’s one of the UK’s top retirement spots, but that certainly doesn’t mean there’s nothing going on here – you...
