Long term lets in Burton are furnished family houses taken for 28 nights or more, with the bills in one monthly figure and no tenancy. The Flexiestays group's apartments are in central Bournemouth; in Burton the homes are owners' houses listed on the Flexiestays platform, and the guests are mostly working at the airport or moving to Christchurch. This page serves both guests and owners; the service as a whole is on our long term lets page.
Staying in Burton
A Burton long stay gives you a house rather than a flat: bedrooms for a family or a team, a garden, a drive and a quiet road. The airport and the Aviation Business Park at Hurn are a short drive west. Christchurch High Street, the station and the Priory are a short drive or bus ride south, and the Avon Valley Path runs through the village for an evening walk by the river.
If no Burton house is free for your dates, other furnished homes in the town are on long term lets in Christchurch, and the group's apartments in Bournemouth have parking and bills included. The village is on our Burton area page.
Who stays
- Aerospace and engineering contractors, at the Aviation Business Park, often as a team booked by the employer.
- Airport staff on fixed contracts.
- Families relocating to Christchurch, between a sale and a purchase.
- Relatives of older residents, staying near a parent for weeks.
- Insurance placements, households whose own home is under repair.
Letting your Burton house for long stays
A three or four-bedroom house with a drive is what these guests want. Add a desk, fast broadband, a washing machine and dryer, enough beds for a team, and an easy check-in after dark: a key safe or smart lock and a lit drive. We visit, set a monthly rate, photograph the house and list it on the Flexiestays platform. Guests are checked before arrival, inventories are taken at both ends, and every stay ends on an agreed date.
Check your mortgage and insurance, and tell the insurer the house will be let furnished to working guests. If council tax is included in the monthly figure, at the time of writing BCP Council charges a 100% premium on furnished homes that are nobody's main residence.
Stays and tenancies
A company booking for its staff, or a guest whose main home is elsewhere, sits outside the assured tenancy rules. A family who sell their home and move in with nowhere else to live may be in a different position, because the house could become their only home; since 1 May 2026 a tenancy runs with no fixed end. We set up each stay on the right agreement. Our guide to long stays against tenancies explains the difference.

Burton is a village in the Avon valley about a mile and a quarter north-east of Christchurch town centre. Most of its housing is 1970s family houses and bungalows with drives and gardens, around an older core with some 18th-century buildings, and it rents and sells to families, airport and engineering staff and people moving to Christchurch.
Burton has the closest Christchurch homes to Bournemouth Airport and the Aviation Business Park at Hurn, and that drives its long-stay market. Engineers and contractors on aerospace projects stay for weeks or months, often as a team sharing a house, and their employer usually books and pays. They want parking for vans or several cars, a washing machine, fast broadband and an easy arrival after dark.
The second group is households moving to Christchurch. Having sold elsewhere, they need a furnished house near schools and shops for one to three months while a purchase completes. Burton's family houses with gardens suit them.
Relatives of older residents, and families placed by an insurer while their home is repaired, add to it. None of them follow the holiday calendar, so Burton's long-stay demand runs all year.
Who rents and buys in Burton
- Airport and engineering staff. Burton has the closest Christchurch homes to the airport at Hurn and its Aviation Business Park. Engineers and contractors on projects there want a house with parking and an easy drive, and their employer often pays.
- Families. Three and four-bedroom houses with gardens, a village primary school and Twynham School a short trip away bring families who rent while they settle and then buy.
- People moving to Christchurch. Households selling elsewhere to buy on the coast take a furnished house for a few months while a purchase completes, and Burton's drives and space suit them.
- Visiting relatives. Christchurch's older population brings sons and daughters who need a base for weeks when a parent is in hospital or moving into care. A house near the hospitals with room for a family suits them.

Long term lets in Burton: questions
Can I rent a furnished house in Burton for a few months?
When an owner's house is listed for stays of 28 nights or more on the Flexiestays platform, yes. Register with us for your dates. The group's apartments, with parking and bills included, are in central Bournemouth and on the West Cliff.
Can my company book a Burton house for a team?
Yes. Companies booking engineers or contractors get VAT invoicing and a named account manager, and a company let sits outside the assured tenancy rules. A four-bedroom house with a drive suits a team of three or four.
What is included in a Burton long stay?
The furniture, a working kitchen, linen and towels, and bills: electricity, gas, water, broadband and council tax in one monthly figure. A cleaning and security deposit is taken, and there is no fixed-term lock-in.
We are moving to Christchurch. Is a long stay right while we buy?
It can be: a furnished house with bills included for one to three months, with an end date you can extend. If the house would become your only home, the agreement needs care, because that could make it a tenancy. We discuss it before you move in; this is not legal advice.
How far is Burton from the airport?
A short drive west to Hurn, closer than any other part of Christchurch. Christchurch station, on the line to London Waterloo, is a short drive or bus ride south.

I've had a really positive experience
I've had a really positive experience with the Airbnb building services, and I'd especially like to recognise Nat, Jack, and Reece for how helpful, friendly, and professional they are. They're always approachable, responsive, and willing to go the extra mile to help resolve any issues or answer questions. Their attitude makes a real difference and creates a welcoming experience for residents and guests. A special mention has to go to Natalie, who has been exceptionally helpful. She is consistently kind, attentive, and proactive, and always makes sure things are dealt with properly. Her dedication and willingness to help really stand out and are very much appreciated. Thank you to the whole team for all your hard work, it definitely doesn't go unnoticed!
Great accommodation and location
Ease of booking. Great communication with the team. Moved to the area and stayed while purchasing property. Very flexible regarding duration of stay. 2 months. We stayed in 2 different apartments. Both lovely. Quiet. No hassle. Also location awesome. A few minutes walk to the beach and town. Thanks again everyone at Flexistays Bournemouth. Highly recommend
Lovely and cosy apartment in the centre
Lovely and cosy apartment in the centre of Bournemouth, and managing to still be quiet. Close to the train station (and buses), big Asda superstore, town centre, park and the beach. I have stayed so far in 2 different apartments in the same building on 2 separate occasions. Both, lovely decorated, with everything one may need for a short or longer stay. A kind of apartment you just want to stay in the whole day! I would definitely recommend.
