Middle Chine Manor sleeps 24-30

Middle Chine Manor is set in an private oasis of garden and trees, just a short walk away from the cliff top, above the sandy beaches of Middle Chine and Alum Chine. It is an enormous house, full of period character, plus state of the art facilities - making the perfect setting for a big celebration or a relaxing break beside the sea.

The house sleeps 24-30 guests in 12 bedrooms and is a wonderful venue for holidays, weddings and special occasions. It is eight minutes walk down to Middle Chine's sandy beach and your private beach hut.  Or take a short stroll along the promenade and you'll be at Bournemouth pier and town centre attractions.   Surfing, sailing and all watersports are available close by - or you can just relax on the beach.

For weddings we can put up a marquee in the large, private garden for up to 200 guests. 

Reception Rooms

The entrance to Middle Chine Manor is a huge wood panelled hall, with parquet floors and a grand wooden staircase taking you to the first floor bedrooms. The hall opens onto the large lounge, with big stone windows overlooking the garden, squishy sofas and an open fire, with a giant stone fireplace. Double doors open up to the snug, with original wood panelling, squishy sofas and relaxing views over the garden. Parquet floors run through both lounges. At the far end of the hall is the dining room and kitchen.

The dining room is a large, impressive room, with a big stone bay window overlooking the garden, and a huge oak table with space for up to 30 to dine together. With a parquet floor, chandelier and big stone fireplace the dining room makes the perfect setting for a family celebration - or a relaxing dinner after a day on the beach. The kitchen is at the back of the house, with lots of facilities for a large group - two cookers, two dishwashers, two fridges and a big sink. There is a banquet breakfast area with big wooden tables - a great place to start the day, cook and chat, or serve up the children's tea.

At the top of the house on the second floor is the massive home cinema room. A big, open space under the eaves, with white walls and exposed beams, this runs across the full width of the house - 9m by 6m. In addition to the home cinema equipment there is a second kitchen/bar area with American fridge freezer and tons of soft sofas where everyone can chill out and enjoy a good movie. ]

Just outside the front door is the games room - a big open space with table tennis table, pool and table football. Perfect for the kids (and grownups!) to let off steam.

Bedrooms

The grand wooden staircase leads to the first floor landing, around which the main bedrooms are grouped. The master bedroom is a huge room, with high ceilings and great views over the garden. There is a stylish ensuite and a large dressing area with a single bed and plenty of room for a cot if needed. Bedroom 2 is another large room with lovely views over the garden, with a king-size bed. Bedroom 3 is a big room with an ensuite bathroom, with a double bed and a single, again overlooking the garden. Bedroom 4 is a double, with an ensuite. These are all big, light, airy rooms, with high ceilings and period details. Also off the main landing is Bedroom 5, a twin room, and the large, stylish, family bathroom complete with a shower and a huge whirlpool bath.

The back stairs near the kitchen lead to two more good sized bedrooms. Bedroom 6 is a family room, with a king-size bed and two singles (or four singles), plus an ensuite bathroom. Adjacent to this is Bedroom 7, which can be set up as a king-size or twin room.

On the top floor, set under the eaves are four stylish, modern bedrooms. Bedroom 8 is a family room with a double bed and a single, with views over the garden and a stylish ensuite complete with roll top bath. Bedroom 9 and 10 are both double rooms, set under the eaves, and Bedroom 11 can be set up as a king-size or twin room. Bedrooms 9, 10 and 11 share a luxurious family bathroom.

Lastly, on the ground floor, Bedroom 12 is a lovely, large old fashioned room, with wood panelling throughout, a king-size bed plus a single, and state of the art shower room just opposite. All the bedrooms have big, comfortable beds and high quality linen and many have room for a guest bed or cot for children.

Outside

Middle Chine Manor is approached up a private drive which leads to parking for 9 cars, with additional overspill parking available. The games room is just outside the front door, and the huge garden is accessed via the snug or kitchen. The garden is completely private, with big mature trees all around the lawn, which is just right for football, cricket, rounders or croquet. When it's time to relax there is a big pavilion, plenty of outdoor tables and benches, and a large barbeque. And any time you fancy a stroll to the sea, the cliff top is a short walk away, from where the pretty tropical gardens of Alum Chine lead down a winding path to the beach - and your private beach hut.
