Lovely location and property. Stunning view.
A good holiday. Nice location. Clean flat. Could do with some updating. Pull down wall bed old but clean. Would benefit from hard floors. Cream carpet conscious of stains etc. Seating furniture out of date. Tour from owner when you first arrive stressful. Told put masks. Detailing how not to break things. Curtain pole. Gas fire. Shower. Bathroom cabinet. Patio door lock.
Found it patronising.

Great location
We were so lucky to get a cancellation for this property. You couldn't wish for a better location. The flat is situated right on the river with a view to die for.
It has a large balcony where you can sit or lounge on the sun loungers. The flat was spotlessly clean and comfortable. Will return if we get the chance.
We thoroughly enjoyed our week here. Pat and Graham gave us a friendly, informative welcome and the flat was fitted out to a good standard with everything we could need. Shops and eating out (to various standards) are all within easy walking distance and the view from the flat was just superb!

A relaxed,happy holiday.
A flat in a superb location overlooking the River Stour with a short walk into the centre of Christchurch and a longer most enjoyable walk to Hengisbury Head. The flat was extremely clean and comfortable with everything you could possibly require and the owners were very helpful without invading our privacy.We hope to return next year.

Excellent position with very pleasing outlook.
Good to have bus routes so accessible, and enjoyed the riverside walks. We stayed in early March. Welcomed by helpful owner who gave us a comprehensive instruction of the workings of the property which is well appointed, warm and snug. Comfortable beds, settee is a bit tired - got a backache. Two armchairs much better. Felt the sealing round the door (connecting with garage??) at the foot of the stairs could be improved. On entering, having been out all day, could detect a 'workshop' type paint/cellulose smell. It was not evident upstairs.

Spacious, light, comfortable, awesome views, great location.
We enjoyed lots of cycling each day around Christchurch, Bournemouth area plenty of fabulous natural sites too see. After being outdoors most of the day in all sorts of weather, it was especially comfortable to relax make a wonderful meal, wine and hot bath. Will hope to come again in the near future.

Dream location
This property gave us everything we were looking for and more. Comfortable ,clean , well maintained property in an ideal location. Owners were very friendly and helpful explaining everything to us on arrival , and then leaving us to our own devices but assuring us they were on hand if needed. Views from the balcony were just beautiful so much to see without going out. So much to do within walking distance, or a bus stop at the top of the road we did not use the car much at all. This property certainly ticked all the boxes for us.

Spacious apartment ,on the bank of River Stour
We enjoyed our stay in the apartment which was spacious & well furnished with comfy chairs & more importantly comfy beds. Plenty of room for car parking.
It would be difficult to get a property with a better view, it was a fantastic view over the river where there was always something going on , boats canoes, paddle boards etc
The walk into town centre along the riverside was very pleasant

Excellent Location
We just returned from a very relaxing and enjoyable weeks stay at Willow Way. Pat and Graham made us feel very welcome for which many thanks. The apartment was immaculate and the views across the River Stour to Tuckton stunning. We were fortunate with the weather and where able to sit out on the veranda just watching people, in the words of the song, 'just messing about on the river'. Good location with just a pleasant stroll along the river into Christchurch. Definitely hope to return in the not too distant future.

A very enjoyable week
The property is in very good decorative order throughout, very clean and milk thoughtfully provided when we arrived. We were able to access much earlier than check-in which meant we had an extra days holiday so great communicators and lovely welcome.
The balcony is lovely and a great asset for eating or lazing!
All amenities very close by, we hardly used the car.
