DESCRIPTION
A beach hut on Mudeford Spit offers a unique coastal retreat in one of the most picturesque spots on the south coast of England. Nestled between Christchurch Harbour and the open waters of the English Channel, these charming huts provide an ideal escape for those seeking tranquility and stunning natural beauty.
Mudeford Spit, with its sandy shores and panoramic views, is renowned for its peaceful atmosphere and proximity to the New Forest. The beach huts are simple but cosy, many equipped with modern conveniences like solar-powered electricity, small kitchens and fold-out beds. Though the huts lack running water and bathrooms (public facilities are nearby), their rustic appeal lies in their simplicity and the connection to nature they provide.
From the doorstep, you can step onto the beach and enjoy a day of swimming, paddleboarding, or just lounging by the water’s edge. At dusk, the sunsets over Christchurch Harbour create a magical ambiance, perfect for evening barbecues or quiet contemplation. Accessible only by foot, ferry, or water taxi, Mudeford Spit’s beach huts offer a secluded retreat, making them highly sought after by those looking to escape the hustle and bustle of daily life.
Accessibility is limited (see 'How to access the hut') making Mudeford Spit’s beach huts a secluded retreat highly sought after by those looking to escape the hustle and bustle of daily life.
We provide duvets and pillows for you to use. Please bring your own bed linen or sleeping bags and your own towels. We professionally clean the hut each month and have a ‘self clean on leaving policy’ so we ask our guests to clean the hut when they leave to the standard that they would like to find it in.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
The beach hut is "Off Grid". There is a water tank under the hut that is to be filled using containers and the nearby standpipes to fill them up. The water is pumped from the tank to the sink in the kitchen which is hot and cold. We recommend that the water from the tank is only used for washing up and cleaning. A separate jug is provided to get drinking water from the standpipes. There are two standpipes located 15 m from the hut.
