Im sure the property was once as it looks in the website photos but unfortunately time, damp and lack of maintenance has taken its toll.

We have just returned from a weeks stay at this lovely home. We were a party of 2 adults, 2 elderly people and one 10 year old. The cottage itself is lovely. Very spacious and well equipped with everything you could think of needed for a self catering break. The garden is gorgeous with plenty of seating and a lovely covered area with a fire pit.

We have stayed at The Haven many times! The property is always spotlessly clean and very welcoming upon arrival. It is well equipped, having full Sky Q with Sports, Netflix etc. It has a lovely garden, perfect for those sunny days/evenings. It is only a 10 minute walk to Mudeford beach and nearby restaurants. Highly recommended.

This is one of the best equipped holiday homes weve stayed in. Its fresh clean appearance and spacious rooms helped us immediately feel at home.

As a group of six senior citizens with various mobility and age related issues, this accommodation was perfect for our needs. We could not fault the cleanliness and the decor was so fresh, comfortable and inviting. The equipment was of a very high standard and the kitchen was extremely well stocked - possibly the best standard we have had anywhere.Read more We enjoyed our walks to the quay and the local eateries on the seafront. A great few days of rest and relaxation and the perfect choice. Hide
