The Quays Guest Reviews

A lovely guest book review from our retuning guests to Quay Corner

We are so glad the weather was good for their stay this year and we hope to welcome them again.

We’ve been coming here since 2016 and we always have the best time – this year the weather has been fantastic too!

Lots of memories, lots of fun and laughs shared!

Let’s hope many to come here!

Thank you Nick for your 5 star Trust Pilot review  for Quay House for your stay in June 2024. As you say Quay House is close to Christchurch Quay and benefits from lovely walks on the doorstep into the thriving market town of Christchurch or a leisurely stroll by the river.

We are glad that the clock tower did not disturb your rest too much and we hope to host you again.

We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to Quay House, the house is a gem, large enough for a party of 14 that gave us alot of space, yet to get together easily. The location next to the Priory was lovely (although the bell ringng during the night was an initial problem solved by ear plugs!) The close proximity to the centre of Christchurch, the water and various walks was perfect. The administration (emails,documentation, website) by Short Stay Homes was professional and friendly. The property was delivered very clean with an impressive inventory of kictchen utensils! We would definitely stay again.

It is not often that you can rent a house that can accommodate a whole choir and be absolutely beautiful as well.

The Quays was perfect for Sally and her choir who gave us a 5 star Trust Pilot Review. We hope to welcome them again.

Absolutely beautiful housewhich accommodated our choir! Would definetley stay there again!

Quality family time was had for the May 2024 School holiday  at Quay House by this family group.

Another lovely week here at Quay House, quality family time and added bonus of the food festival. Lots of great paddle boarding too.

The Christchurch Food festival is a very popular event in Christchurch  and Quay House is the perfect place to stay for it.

We even took part one year with professional chef demonstrations in the lovely spacious kitchen on how to make proferoles…yummy! .

What a wonderful review from one of our favourite repeat customers. We are so happy you continue to enjoy your stays at The Quays in Christchurch and all it has to offer to you and your 3 generations.

This was our 3rd multigenerational holiday at The Quays and was just as great as the others! The house is fabulous – spacious, comfortable and well-equipped. Most bedrooms very large and all beds very comfortable. The location is great, something for everyone of all ages, whether in town, on the river or on the beach. A wonderful place and we hope to be back again. Thanks to Caroline and team for smooth booking, good communication and detailed information.

We’ve had a fantastic review of The Quays in Christchurch from a multi generational stay.

We are so glad they enjoyed the Quay and the lovely kids splash park. It’s a great place to spend a sunny day, for free!

Excellent property. Great for multi generational groups (and dogs) lots of space. Very close to town and quay with childrens splashback and playground. Parking for 4 cars.

A wonderful review on The Quays, We are so glad they loved the atmosphere that Christchurch had to offer and they could relax, play and eat.

We had such a wonderful family holiday staying at The Quays in Christchurch. The property was amazing – spotlessly clean and furnished and equipped with everything you could need and much more. We were 11 adults and 6 children and it was great to stay in a house where we could easily relax, play and eat together. And Short stay homes were so helpful before and during our stay. We will definitely be back.

A wonderful family get together at The Quays. What more could they want?

Lovely family get together for Jackie’s 80th and of course it was Matilda’s birthday too. Beautiful weather and lovely house. What more could we want.

The Rhodes family, the Gadd family and of course Jackie Edwards, My wicked step mum!

What a wonderful review for Quay House from Jackie. We’re so glad you enjoyed the local town and rivers. We do too.

What an amazing house! We all had an amazing time celebrating an 80th, 23rd and mothers day. The location is perfect, with both the river and town just round the corner. (and the church over the wall!) Just a 10 minute drive away is Hengistbury Head which is the perfect place to watch the sunset. It was the perfect venue for 19 (supposed to be 21!) of us and it was so nice to see everyone; travelling from Cornwall, Devon, Hampshire and West Sussex! The weather was perfect for our stay. It’s like they knew we were coming.

Thank  you so much for letting us stay, we will definitely be coming back!

The Quays guest book review from a pre Christmas Get together

The best house we could have wanted for 8 adults and 11 children (who had the best time!) – everything we needed, such a well stocked comfortable house. We will be back to glorious Christchurch and The Quays.

A lovely guest review in the guest book at Quay Corner for a 70th birthday and Haloween celebration

Thank you for this lovely time. The house was amazing, so was the garden. Thank you very, very much for it!

From the children of the Stamp Family, x Lucie, Hattie, Eleanor and Ivy

The whole Stamp family enjoyed staying here. Great location and a true celebration for my 70th birthday. Thank you.

Quay House was a fabulous venue for this long awaited get together.

Quay House was a fabulous venue for a long over-due get together with friends. The house was so spacious (the pictures do not do it justice!), there was 15 of us and no time did the house feel congested. Quay House was very well equipped and had everything we needed. Bedrooms were very comfortable. Location of the house is fantastic, everything right on the doorstep but still in a quiet location. A return visit is a must for me.

Thank you Grandma for leaving a lovely informatiove 5 star review for Quay Corner.

Quay Corner was ideal for our family: Grandma, Grandad, Uncle, Auntie, Mum, Dad, children 7 and 9 and 2 dogs. With 3 bathrooms and an excellent walk in shower there were no problems in the morning. Carpeted throughout meant noise of early rising children and dogs did not disturb sleepers. Good size tables inside and out for family meals, nice to have serving dishes and plenty of crockery. The only warning to give is the stairs might be a problem for someone with mobility issues, both flights are steep, narrow and have a sharp turn at the bottom. Any problems or queries we had were dealt with promptly. The central position and parking for 4 cars meant that we did not have to worry about parking. We were able to walk to a splash park, and 2 play parks 10 minutes. Castle ruins, medieval house ruins, Priory, 10 mins Ferry and river 10 mins, Shops 2 mins, Waitrose and Sainsbury 10 mins by car. Visited Bournemouth Aviation Museum, lots of hands on activity, Bovington Tank Museum, Great day out Snowtrax fun morning, Special lunch at Harbour Hotel, Upper deck restaurant highly recommended ( great understanding of allergies) We had a lovely holiday and will defintely retrun to Quay Corner

Another fantastic 5-star review for Quay House in Christchurch, Dorset!

“Excellent accommodation for our family celebration with plentiful crockery, cutlery, glassware and kitchen utensils of a good quality. Very comfortable and ideally situated for shops, restaurants and the quay side. It was a delight for all of us to be able to sit and dine together and for the grandchildren to have a garden to play in. Can recommend.”

Sounds like the children of this family loved Quay House in Christchurch with it’s secure garden and children’s bedroom.

‘A lovely spacious property, in a great location for exploring the area. In particular, the garden was really nice and being able to lock the gate, meant we knew the children were safe playing outside. Our younger children really enjoyed the playroom; having stories to read was great, as we’d forgotten to pack books! Thanks for a lovely stay.’

What a lovely house! Such a great weekend (despite the weather), hope to visit again (every year!!)

Celebrating 50 years of marriage!

A lovely weekend – luckily we got our Hengistbury Head walk in before Storm Ciara hit…. 3 generations loved the space and the well equipped kitchen. And the fresh flowers were a lovely welcome!

Beautiful House! Lovely Town. We had a fabulous time at your amazing place! Thank you! Would love to return.

A lovely homely welcoming home!

Great space, ideal for family / friends get together. Bathrooms sparkly clean. Great location, near all amenities , shops , restaurants yet very quiet.

Our guests enjoyed Quay Corner.

Thank you for a lovely stay in this fabulous extended family size home. Everything we needed was here and the location was great. November weather very kind, we enjoyed visiting the lovely beaches, with the children and dogs enjoyed!

Great 5 star Trustpilot review for Quay Corner 

Easy booking even though it was very last minute, helpful support when the toaster stopped working. Property was very nice and perfect for a large group. Many thanks!

Quay House is an absolutely stunning property, so much space and tonnes of beautiful touches around the house. It was spotlessly clean, Caroline is an amazing host and has a kind heart.

I will definitely be back again!

Lovely House in a great area.

We had a great stay in this well equipped and nicely furnished house. All the facilities are excellent. Close to town and surrounding beaches.

Lovely time, lovely house, great weather and wonderful surroundings.

Thank you for the welcome pack.

Many Thanks, Smalley Family

Thank you for a wonderful weekend.

Fantastic, well equipped and welcoming house. We hope to return.

 Quay Corner feels like our second home

Our annual stay here has been fabulous once again. We love it here and we’re sorry to leave, it feels like our second home.

Many special memories made!

Our annual family outing!

Grandma, Grandpa, two daughters, two son-in-laws and four adventurous teenage boys. Unfortunately weather variable but that didn’t stop us. Managed two days on the beach and in the sea. Plenty of cycle routes (bought cycles with us and kept in shed). Cycled to Bournemouth, Grandma went on a zip wire for the first time in her life. Plenty to do in the locality – plenty of green and pine locally for football, cricket etc.

Great house ideally situated, very comfortable and well equipped.

A wonderful week in a wonderful house. Croquet much enjoyed. We are planning to come back!

Quay Corner perfect for a family weekend

An amazing family weekend in a fantastic property. Weather not great but didnt spoil our enjoyment. And one generation managed to run in and out of the sea very quickly! Lovely evenings spent around the dining table with lots of chat and laughter. The perfect property for a family group of 3 generations. Cant wait to come back. Thank you so much.

Great 5 Star review for Homeaway for Quay House in Christchurch

We’ve had the most amazing weekend in this outstanding, luxurious, fantastic property. Everything about the house has just added to a really perfect weekend. 13 of us from the ages of 13 through to 88 have enjoyed this location, the garden, all the lovely spacious bedrooms and most of all the meals we’ve had around the huge dining table.We would all love to come back again next year.

5* HomeAway review for our lovely Quay Corner

Well equipped property with excellent living space for the group. Location was fabulous for the town and even better we could all park which is tough to find in the area. You need to be aware that being so central comes with the sounds of Christchurch itself. Light sleepers may hear the bells, but it comes part of being so central! Would definitely recommend and return to the property, exactly as described.

A review left in our guest book at Quay House

Amazing place, perfect location right in the centre of Christchurch… Has everything you need and plenty of room for all our 3 generations of family. Lovely welcome hamper was a nice touch. Caroline was very helpful, thank you for such a fabulous weekend home from home. Would definitely stay again.

A wonderful review from our Guest book at Quay Corner

We had such a lovely family time

Loved Christchurch, Loved the house

We crabbed. We went on a boat. We tried a kayak. We explored. Would highly recommend this place. Thank you

Followed by a 5* review with HomeAway

Fantastic property, we had everything we needed, comfortable, homely, clean and warm – perfect! Close to shops, beach and beautiful area too. A little gem. We would highly recommend it and we are coming back next year.

Quay House was certainly a hit for a 60th birthday celebration.

An unforgettable weekend with 14 friends to celebrate my 60th, Quay House was perfect in every way, such a beautiful home.

I hope to come back another time, there’s so much still to see.

An entry in our guest book in the ‘beautiful’ Quay House in Christchurch, Dorset

A Beautiful house and a lovely town excited to be coming back next week and would definitely recommend coming to stay here to all family and friends.

Quay House was ideal for our group of 14 adult cyclists. The location near the centre of Christchurch was ideal with its range of eating and drinking venues a short stroll away. The house itself was first class with all the rooms furnished and finished to a very high standard. The large, well equipped kitchen and dining room were perfect for breakfasts and a group evening meal. We also enjoyed the beautiful garden with its outside dining / seating area. The generous welcome pack was also a really nice touch. I’m pretty sure a proposal to return to Quay House next year would be met with a big ‘thumbs-up’ from everyone in our group.

Caroline and the team at Short Stay Homes were extremely helpful prior to arrival, providing advice and assistance with our reservation, as well as local knowledge about the area. Thanks for a great time.

5* Trust Pilot review

We had a fantastic stay at Quay House in Christchurch: it is a beautiful period house in a really magical part of the world. The house is extremely well – equipped and caters very well to a large group staying there – with enough bed space, seating, cooking and dining space for all. Quay House is right in the heart of town so you can walk to the shops and pubs, and it is right next to the historic Priory. There is a great walk, involving a sweet little ferry boat trip, to Hengistbury Head nature reserve from the house which I would really recommend. Caroline was prompt and helpful in her responses to questions, and was flexible in terms of check-in and check-out times. I would definitely stay here again!

Fantastic place to celebrate the Big 60th Birthday with friends & family as there is a great supply of crockery, cutlery & space.

Lovely comfortable family house in a fabulous location.

Guest book review from Quay Corner

Awesome home & fantastic location! We all had a brilliant stay – Thanks for having us.

Cheers

Guest book and 5* HomeAway reviews for Quay House

Good customer service providing excellent, accurate and useful property details before arrival. In a very good location, quiet but near the town, the house is well maintained, clean and very well furnished. A day trip to Mudeford Sandbank via the ferry with time spent on the beach went down well with three generations as did a walk on Hengistbury Head. Highly recommend this property for any group, same age or mixed generations.

Excellent house for a 40th Birthday celebration – 3 generations – all had a great time.

Thanks!

A guest book comment for Quay House from a 50th birthday party.

Beautiful house for celebrating my 50th birthday, we were all comfortable and really felt at home here. The welcome basket and flowers were a lovely touch – thank you !!

I would love to find many reasons to return to Quay House.
