It’s not just about Blue Flag beaches when you stay at The Spyglass and Kettle. There’s lots to do all year round. Explore the nearby towns of Christchurch, Bournemouth, and Poole, or get some fresh air in the New Forest, at Hengistbury Head, or walking the Jurassic Coast. Studland Beach and Nature Reserve and National Trust Brownsea Island are both within easy reach, and there are great days out to be had at English Heritage sites Christchurch Castle and Norman House and Hurst Castle. National Trust property The Needles Battery offers fascinating history, as does Corfe Castle. And don’t forget Mudeford Quay, Russell-Cotes Art Gallery and Museum, Boscombe Chine Gardens, and Red House Museum and Gardens.
