Thirteen places are listed, which is a small choice compared with some nearby towns. Most are family-sized, with two or three bedrooms, though a few smaller ones sleep two. Several have a pool, either private, shared or indoors, which is less usual for lodges elsewhere. If you want a particular weekend, look early, as a small stock leaves little room to switch dates. The widest gap in cost is between the cheapest few places and the large houses with four bedrooms.

The house stands in Christchurch, with Christchurch Castle 460 yards away on foot (5 minutes) and Bournemouth Aviation Museum 830 yards away (9 minutes).
Christchurch sits on the Dorset coast where the Stour and Avon meet the harbour, and the lodges here suit groups and families more than couples on a budget. The typical party is large: places sleep about 7 people on average, and the biggest takes 25. That makes it a sensible base for a family weekend or a group celebration.
Prices sit at the dearer end for a short stay, and a week costs only a little more in the months outside winter than in winter itself. The range of budgets is still wide, with the cheapest nights well below the usual level. Hot tubs are common, in around six places out of ten, and so are dog-friendly places. Log burners are in just under half. Ratings are high, at about 8.9 out of 10.
Gardens are the most common feature, in about seven places out of ten, followed by hot tubs in around six out of ten. Log burners and barbecues each appear in just under half. Places with a hot tub usually cost more per night than places with a garden alone. Log burner places are dearer still, though that reflects the larger houses that tend to have them. Swimming pools show up in about a third and usually come with lower nightly prices than hot tubs. A children's play area is found in about a quarter.
| Feature | Places | Share | Usual night |
|---|---|---|---|
| Garden | 9 | 69% | £296 |
| Hot tub | 8 | 62% | £344 |
| Log burner / fireplace | 6 | 46% | £553 |
| BBQ | 6 | 46% | £291 |
| Swimming pool | 4 | 31% | £240 |
| Fishing | 3 | 23% | £532 |
| High chair | 3 | 23% | £810 |
| Children's play area | 3 | 23% | £207 |
Places sleeping 3 to 4 usually cost more per night than those sleeping 5 to 6, though the larger group pays much less per person. Both sizes typically have two bedrooms, so the extra guests in the bigger places share rooms or use sofa beds. For a couple of pairs of friends, the smaller size is workable. For a family with older children, the 5 to 6 size gives better value. Groups beyond that need to look at the largest places, which are few and dearer in total.
| Sleeps | Places | Bedrooms | Usual night | Per guest |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sleeps 3-4 | 4 | 2 | £274 | £68 |
| Sleeps 5-6 | 4 | 2 | £246 | £41 |
November is the cheapest month shown, and prices climb through winter. December is dearer than January, which reflects the festive weeks. February and March sit in between, and April is the dearest of the six, noticeably above November. Availability is fairly similar from month to month, with a little more choice in January and April. If you want to keep costs down, a November or January stay is usually the better bet.
| Month | Usual night | Nights still free |
|---|---|---|
| November 2026 | £280 | 54% |
| December 2026 | £398 | 49% |
| January 2027 | £336 | 58% |

Nearby towns give you more choice. Milford on Sea has the largest stock of the group, and Bournemouth also has a good number. Barton on Sea has the lowest starting prices, while Downton and New Milton start a little higher. Saint Leonards is a smaller option with low entry prices. If Christchurch is fully booked or too dear for your dates, these towns are all close enough to be sensible alternatives for the same coast.
Slightly. A week in winter usually costs a little less than a week outside winter. Within winter, November and January are cheaper than December and March.
Yes, about a third of places have a swimming pool. Some have a private pool, and one example also has an indoor pool with a hot tub and sauna. Sauna is rarer, in under one place in ten.
Places sleeping 5 to 6 usually work out cheaper per person than those sleeping 3 to 4. Both usually have two bedrooms, so check the sleeping arrangements.
Just under half do. They are more common in the larger, dearer houses. Some of these also have a hot tub and accept dogs.
