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.
"This is our second visit to Harbour View and everything was as good as our first visit, the views are fantastic and the property is very well equipped and an excellent location."
Clare is an excellent host and a brilliant baker with her treats of bread and cakes and freshly hatchet eggs. Would highly recommend and hope to return.

"This property does not disappoint from the minute you walk in and see the view!"
It had everything we’ve come to expect in UK holiday cottages, and more. Treats from the owner were delicious, facilities excellent, space and a real home from home feel. We loved the garden, and spent a great deal of time just observing the water and the birds. So close to Stanpit Marsh (with ponies) you can view it from the garden, walking distance to the pub and shop, while Mudeford Quay and Avon beach is about a 15/20 min walk away. We love the wider area, and this is our second stay in Mudeford, but this property knocked spots off our first stay! We holiday in this country a lot with our two labradors, and this is in our top three properties, one we will likely return to, we really didn’t want to leave.

And had to reverse into busy road! Also no welcome pack!owner nice just presented us with a loaf of bread home baked! Watched TV settee was really uncomfortable got stiff after an hour!
Shame no body mentioned these points, my dog didn't settle, and we were uncomfortable so left early.
Thanks for your feedback which is clearly very different to others!
You advised me that you didn’t eat milk or dairy meaning I did not leave the usual milk and cakes at your request.
I usually make more things throughout the week including catering for any special diets but since you left after one night was unable to do so.
I think it was irresponsible going away with a 5 month puppy. I allow dogs but I would never take a puppy away to a holiday let property.
There are 2 full welcome packs full of information on the property and the area.
The settee is new and high quality. I now have a range of seating options to cater for different requirements.
I really don’t think you should be driving if you aren’t able to back a car out of a driveway onto the road which isn’t even that busy.
I guess the saying ‘you can’t please everyone’ is true, no matter how hard I try!!

As a windsurfer, I found it very handy to be able to leave my gear in the private rear garden, rig up on kit friendly grass and launch directly into the harbour, just beyond the back gate. What's not to like about that ?

CHRISTCHURCH
Bournemouth 6 miles.
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.
