Mud Huts was formed in 2016 by husband and wife team, Ian Chandler & Jane Biss. Having managed their own successful holiday lettings business since 2006, they decided to offer their knowledge and skills to other holiday home owners. Ian's background is engineering and IT, whilst Jane's is from the hotel and hospitality industry. Individually diverse but a perfect combination to cover all aspects of holiday home management. Based in Mudeford, we aim to provide a local hands on ‘5 star’ service to holiday home owners and guests alike.

Shoreline - a spacious, well appointed lodge overlooking Christchurch Harbour.

The lodge is right on the doorstep of Avon Beach and a short stroll along to Mudeford Quay, which is famous for crabbing. Crab nets and bait can be purchased from the Fish Stall on the Quay or there is a souvenir shop attached to the Haven Inn Pub. There is also a café on the Quay serving breakfast and food. This is a great place to sit and watch the activity on the Quay including the fishing boats bringing back their ‘catch of the day’. There is a ferry that runs from the end of the Quay (best to check times and weather permitting!) that goes over to Hengistbury Head, the famous spit as it is known with beach huts that sell for up to half a million pounds. There is a café over on this side and you can walk around the head, through the village of Wick and then take a short ferry ride over to the Captains Club (a hotel, bar and restaurant on the waterside) in Christchurch. Christchurch itself is an historical town with an abundance of bars and restaurants – there is a museum and it is worth a visit to the Priory (the largest Church in England). The Quay at Christchurch is also a great place to visit and you can get another ferry from here back to Hengistbury Head. If you turn left as you exit Sandhills, you walk along the promenade to Avon Beach and the Noisy Lobster which has a coffee bar and fish hatch and a shop and restaurant. It is great to pop down and get fish and chips from the ‘hatch’ and then eat them on the benches provided on the beach. The beautiful New Forest is just a short drive away. Walk through gladed forest enclosures or across beautiful heathland. For cyclists there are 100 miles of way-marked cycle tracks across the Crown Lands of the Forest. There are various family activities, horse riding, New Forest Tours, wildlife spotting, wild play to mention but a few.
