I had a fantastic stay at Angela and Alex's well-kept offering in West Melton. The hosts are exceptionally attentive to a guest's needs, and went out of their way on many occasions to make sure things were hassle-free for me, including many offers of lifts to and from central Christchurch. The room itself was wonderfully presented, with all the amenities one might need: a fridge, microwave, atmospheric fireplace, en suite and separate jacuzzi were all appreciated after long days exploring the area. West Melton itself is a very nice choice for those wanting a location accessible to Christchurch but a little more laid-back. This feeling is heightened when lying in the hammock in the back garden here, watching the sheep run around in the fields at the back- it's a very calming place with all you might need in terms of supermarkets and restaurants if you wanted to take a short walk into the village. While I only stayed a little while, I can say unequivocally that I would highly recommend this property. The hosts are fantastic- very friendly and welcoming- and the room itself is excellent with thought and care taken to provide thoughtful extras that make the stay that much better. Thanks Angela and Alex!
