    We were a family of three generations and 2 dogs. The house layout worked, well for everyone. It was well equipped and lovely inside and out. Jenna the housekeeper was very helpful she called on our first day to let us know the house was ready so we were able to check in a bit before 4. Unfortunately we were unable to find the tv remote, however we managed as we used the google tv app. Parking was a bit tight as all the houses were occupied with at least 2 cars but there was road parking but not cheap. Our grandson particularly liked the Shell Bay ferry and at only £1.18 on foot return we did too and took full advantage of it to get over to the beautiful Shell Bay beach to walk the dogs. Great holiday had by all. Would definitely book this house again.

    I’m so glad you enjoyed your stay at Redsails. So sorry about the TV controller - Jenna was just sorry you hadn’t called her to get something sorted. There’s so much to do within walking distance from the house and they are bringing back the ferry from Sandbanks to Brownsea this summer which will be great. Great the location worked for your family I hope you choose to stay again and thank you for taking the time to provide feedback. Property Owner
