Heathfield:
This luxury appointed property is based on Sandhills Holiday Park in Mudeford, as soon as you enter, you have a feeling of space and luxury. The décor is stylish and the lodge is equipped to a very high standard. It even includes an inbuilt surround system which can be attached via Bluetooth to your phone.
In the kitchen there is a full size fridge and freezer, a washing machine/dryer and a dishwasher along with a full size cooker and separate microwave.
The lodge has two bedrooms, the master with a double bed and en suite shower room and the second bedroom has two good size single beds. There is a second family shower room. Both bedrooms have TV’s installed with HDMI leads and there is a large smart TV in the lounge.
The property is set on the second row back from the front, facing the Isle of Wight – it has a large decking area with patio table and chairs and the sea can be seen from either side of the decking.
There is a private car parking space alongside the lodge which makes it easy for unloading/loading and heading out for day trips.
About the Local area:
Just outside Sandhills Holiday Park is a promenade giving access to the beautiful Avon beach - take a stroll along to your left and you will come to the Noisy Lobster restaurant and shop where you can purchase fresh bread from the bakery and a morning paper. The shop also sells gifts and a selection of clothing. There is a coffee hut and fish and chips takeaway as well. If you walk to your right, you are just a short walk from the historic Mudeford Quay where in 1784 smugglers skirmished with Customs and Excise officers.
It is still a working quay today with fishing boats venturing out most days so why not say hello to Pete on boat Deja Vu (SU21) and see how his day has been, or wave to him from your decking as he heads back from another successful day out. If you fancy testing your skills out and bringing the catch home yourself, pleasure fishing trips are available directly from the quay, or we can help you organise in advance. There are many pleasure trips to be had or if you fancy a thrill then why not hang on to your seats on the Bay Blast rib ride.
The Quay is also famous for its crabbing from the quayside (crabbers quay!) and has a children's play park, fish stall, cafe, The Haven House Inn and a large green area which is perfect for picnics, ball games and kite flying. You can catch the ferry to Hengistbury Head directly from the Quay and visit its fantastic beaches and beach huts.
Christchurch harbour is a great place for water sports from windsurfing to sailing and the Highcliffe sailing club is based on the Quay. There is also an active RNLI lifeboat station which practices launching weekly so you are almost bound to see their rather unusual lifeboat launch and recovery system in action!
If walking or bird watching is your thing then you can do both without even getting in the car. Within an easy stroll you will find a nature reserve on the cliff top adjacent to Highcliffe Castle. If you fancy a little longer out, then why not try the circular walk through Stanpit Marshes and on to Christchurch for a spot of lunch. Then take the Tuckton ferry from outside the Captains Club to cross the river or walk over Tuckton bridge a little further on if the ferry is not running, and head across more picturesque marshes to the back of Hengistbury Head. From there you can skirt the inside shoreline, head up and over the top or use the beach as your route back to the beach huts and ferry home at the tip of the Head. Who knows, the Haven House Inn may tempt you with a thirst quencher before heading back to the luxuries of the chalet.
If you head out in the car then the walks available to you are endless with The New Forest on your doorstep and The Purbecks within easy reach. Easily missed and of particular note is the area around Keyhaven and Lymington and, in particular, the sea wall walk past the now disused salt works and the spit and Hurst Castle, which in itself is worth entry but make sure you have a few hours to spare.
Historically sailing and fishing are all part of the local heritage with such famous local sailing clubs as Christchurch and Lymington to hand. More recently wind and kite surfing have become extremely popular along with kayaking and paddle boarding. Don't worry if you have never tried any of these or do not have any equipment as Shore Sports base themselves in the harbour and are more than happy to help out.
About the area in general:
Christchurch - the sign says 'Where Time is Pleasant' and it's right. From the lively Monday market to the great shops and restaurants along the high street it is a great coastal town. It is a short trip in the car or by the Ferry that leaves from Mudeford Quay. Christchurch Priory is the longest parish church in the country and is surrounded by beautiful grounds, riverside walks and Christchurch Quay. The Priory is a must see and is steeped in history. The Priory contains the 'miraculous beam' said to be placed there by a carpenter locals believed was Christ himself.
The New Forest - a National Park situated on the south coast of England. The landscape is a mix of heathland, grassland, bogs and woods. Domestic animals are permitted to roam freely throughout the Forest. Visit Beaulieu Motor Museum, catch a ferry from the pretty town of Lymington to the Isle of Wight or just enjoy the many cycle trails, walks and forest villages.
Bournemouth - the famous seaside resort with miles of beaches, loads of restaurants, bars, clubs and great shopping. Just 9 miles away, it has so much to see and do.
Other Attractions - Alice in Wonderland maze Theme Park, Serendipity Sam’s, Go Ape at Moors Valley, Tower Park with its Multiplex Bowling and Splashdown Indoor Water Park, Paulton's theme park on the edge of the New Forest, the Bournemouth Oceanarium, Compton Acres, Poole Old Town & Harbour, Sandbanks and Brownsea Island to name but a few.

This was a perfectly situated and well-maintained property
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
This was a perfectly situated and well-maintained property to suit our needs, our operators were more than comfortable and were able to get adequate rest after long hard days of work. Facilities were perfect also, everyone that they met were super friendly and couldn’t do enough to help.
Our needs were to be as close to Mudeford as possible and this did not disappoint. Beautiful views, blue tooth surround sound was a great addition too. Once again Jane & Ian – what a wonderful welcome and huge thanks all of us at Lankelma Ltd

Heathfield. It is a well-equipped and spotlessly clean chalet in an excellent location right next to the beach. There is parking alongside the property easy for unloading. Our booking was very straight forward, Jane was most helpful. On arrival at Sandhills the staff were also very helpful.

'Great to be back'
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
This was our second stay at 'Heathfield' and once again we were not disappointed, the accommodation exactly as we remembered. As we already knew the location is excellent for easy access to the beach and nearby restaurants. The added bonus of allocated parking next to the property means no 'lugging' of heavy suitcases. The weather for our stay was great and we were able to make use of the outdoor heated swimming pool, which has a separate toddler pool with the security of a lifeguard on duty at all times. Will definitely be returning.

Thank you for a very enjoyable stay
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
This is the first time we had booked with Mud Huts, and from the very get go they were professional, approachable, and really helpful.
Covid restrictions were adhered to impeccably, and we felt very safe coming away at the start of ‘self-catering’ rules being relaxed. Heathfield was very clean and welcoming, with every luxurious extra you could wish for. Comfy beds and bedding, lovely hot and powerful showers, well fitted-out kitchen, and a superb lounge area, leading onto the superb decking verandah, which was bathed in sunshine every day of our visit. (The reclining chairs were a bonus!) There was a lot of attention to detail, even down to the welcome card and wine when we arrived! Thank you for a very enjoyable stay.

This was our second stay at Heathfield and again we were not disappointed. Lodge was immaculate when we arrived and it has everything required to make a very enjoyable and relaxing stay. It’s position on site was perfect for us, close to the pool and just a short stroll to the beach or quay for a spot of crab fishing, perfect for the children. We have already planned our next visit, highly recommended.

Wonderfully appointed accommodation
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
We've just returned from a lovely relaxing break staying at 'Heathfield'. Wonderfully appointed accommodation, very spacious and nicely positioned at Sandhills. Beautifully presented and housekeeping is to a very high standard. The service has been exceptionally friendly and helpful from the booking process through to arrival and return journey home. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Mudhuts and we look forward to returning in the near future. Our thanks to Jane and Ian and the kind owners of Heathfield as well.

Our Heathfield holiday has been amazing, from start to finish! Heathfield holiday home is so much better than it already looks in pictures. It was super clean, very well maintained and the location is absolutely perfect.

Heathfield has been a brilliant home-from-home for our recent family holiday, we love Mudeford and our stay has been made all the more special due to our spacious, clean and extremely well furnished accommodation.

Highly recommended place to stay
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Accommodation is spacious, very well appointed and spotlessly clean - the location is ideal too. Many thanks for a really enjoyable stay.
Perfect accommodation for a relaxing holiday
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
This was our second stay at Sandhills Holiday Park and once again we were not disappointed with the accommodation. The 'Heathfield' is light, airy and spacious with everything you need to make it feel home from home, with two good sized bedrooms with ample storage and very comfortable seating in the lounge to relax and watch the world go by. (a bonus of a bottle of wine on arrival was a welcome touch).
The park location is excellent with barrier operated access to the site and parking allocation next to the property (so no lugging of heavy suitcases), and metres from the beach footpath linking Mudeford Quay and Avon beach.
Contact with Jane & Ian (Mud Huts) before booking was once again excellent with the usual instructions for key collection etc.
As a final note due to the current situation there was further information on Covid-19 and additional cleaning procedures that were being taken to ensure everyone's safety and wellbeing which was reassuring.
PS Have already booked for 2021!!

A beautifully appointed holiday home
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Heathfields is a beautifully appointed holiday home. It is spotlessly clean and has every facility we needed. Everything was practically brand new.

Great place to stay
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
The caravan was exceptionally clean on arrival. The instructions and communication with management were excellent too. We love Sandhills location and would definitely stay again.
Outstanding accommodation and the perfect location
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
The accommodation is superb, the situation outstanding and the lodge is presented is of extremely high quality and beautifully equipped with everything you need for a relaxing stay. A clean property is a must for us, and “Heathfield” did not let us down, I cannot recommend Ian and Jane highly enough for their superb care and presentation of the accommodation including a thoughtful card and bottle of wine upon arrival. There is also allocated parking next to the lodge. The location is fantastic and the property is situated on Sandhills holiday park who have made sensible adjustments for COVID for a safe stay, booking the Pool slots was straightforward. The site is a quiet relaxing place and located just a few steps from the beach and harbour, we found plenty of places to eat within walking distance, the Noisy lobster restaurant is a 'must’, and there is a little parade of shops along the road which includes a deli/cafe. Overall I would thoroughly recommend this property and we hope to be back again soon.
A lovely autumn beach get away
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
A lovely clean cabin, perfect for a short family get away. We were able to fit at travel cot at the end of our bed, perfect for our 3 month old. The Noisy Lobster and Mudeford Quay were both 5 mins away. The cabin was lovely and warm and had a sea view. I have already recommended it.
