Amberley is our family holiday home – a light and airy, luxury lodge on the popular Sandhills Holiday Park in Mudeford. Amberley is situated in a quiet, sunny spot on the park within easy reach of the pools and the promenade that leads to Avon Beach and Mudeford Quay.

The lodge itself is spacious and fully equipped with comfortable furnishings, double glazing and gas central heating.

The living and dining area is open plan with high ceilings. There is a wall mounted, large, flat screen Smart TV and unlimited Wi-Fi. An electric feature fireplace adds a cosy feel during the colder evenings. There is an Amazon Echo for radio/music.

The kitchen is also open plan and fully equipped with a microwave, gas oven, grill and hob. There is a fridge and freezer, slimline dishwasher, washing machine/dryer and, for coffee lovers, there is a coffee machine (which takes Nespresso coffee pods). Patio doors lead out onto the gated decking area.

The master bedroom has a king size bed and an en-suite shower room and walk in wardrobe with dressing table and mirror. The large second bedroom boasts two three foot single beds and a walk in wardrobe. There is ample room for a travel cot in this room. Both bedrooms have wall-mounted TVs.

The family bathroom has a bath with shower above, toilet and basin.

Bed linen, bathroom towels and tea towels are included. However, please bring your own beach/pool towels.

One (possibly two by agreement) well behaved adult dog is welcome.

Sandhills itself has a heated outdoor swimming pool, which offers the option of adults only swimming for an hour each morning, when open and toddler pool with seating and loungers. There is also an adjacent outdoor comfortable seating and table area. In the main house there is a small gym, a bar and lounge area with hot and cold snacks. Also on site there is a play area for small children.

Our family has been holidaying here for many years and love the peace and quiet that the park offers, while also being so close to so many activities. The beach has lifeguards during high season and The Noisy Lobster restaurant, with seating that overlooks the beach, is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner; there is a great open, upstairs terrace area. There is a shop next door where you can purchase fresh bread, pastries and cakes from the bakery and a morning paper. The shop also sells gifts and a selection of clothing. There is a coffee hut, fish and chips takeaway and an ice cream parlour. Christchurch also has a good variety of more reasonably priced family restaurants such as Beefeater, Toby Carvery and Stewart’s Garden Centre.

Some of our favourite family locations to visit (apart from Avon Beach on the doorstep and the Quay, which is great for crab fishing) include Hengistbury Head (only a short ferry ride), Moors Valley Country Park, Beaulieu Motor Museum, Paultons Park (Peppa Pig World) and the lovely walks in the nearby New Forest. Christchurch has a good selection of supermarkets, takeaway and outlet shops. Lymington is worth a visit, especially on a Saturday morning on market day and it’s a short ferry ride across to the Isle of Wight.
