I live with my husband Ross and our two children Faith (age 12) and Adam (age 19). Although he is at university in term time studying Architecture. We have two friendly cats who love attention. We are within walking distance of Christchurch town centre in Dorset which is on the south coast of England. There is lots to see and do and Christchurch is a very pretty town. There is a lovely quay with lots to see around it nearby. You can hire a boat or get a ferry to Hengistbury Head Beach. Mudeford, Highcliffe and Southbourne beaches are also nearby. The New Forest is on our doorstep and Bournemouth Town Centre is a bus ride away.
Your en-suite bedroom has a wardrobe, drawers and satellite television, which you are free to use, as well as wifi. The room is currently configured to allow for 2 single beds, which can be converted to a double. If staying alone, we can remove 1 of the beds and install a desk for your use.
Additional Info
We prefer our students to be home in the evening by 10.30 /11pm.
