About this property

Stunning Waterside Cottage in Poole Harbour

This fisherman's cottage is possibly in THE PERFECT location in Poole. Situated within a stones throw (literally) from the Sea, and right next to the Fisherman's Dock, with direct access to the sea side foot walk onto the Poole Quayside and Town Centre. There is an abundance of activities that you can book to include Fishing Trips, Dive Boats, Sailing Boats, Parascending and more, as well as fantastic array of bars and restaurants that cater for all ages and tastes. The two bedrooms both have stunning sea views, with the master bedroom looking out over the harbour and across to Brownsea Island. There is a comfy lounge area with all expected facilities and a dining area that leads out onto the 'sun trap' patio and garden that backs onto the harbour and is absolutely perfect for BBQ, playing with your children or just relaxing in the sunshine. This fantastic property is child friendly and has off street parking for 2 cars / boats.

Perfect location

The cottage is in the ideal location, right on the water and within minutes of the quayside where you can enjoy lunch and dinner if you don’t want to go further afield.Perfect for the dog with an enclosed garden and the sea to swim in and a lovely green area five minutes walk away.

Fantastic property, with fabulous views in a great location

Lovely house and garden in a fantastic location, near all amenities. A wide range of pubs and restaurants within 5 mins walk. Sadly beach is only good for swimming if you have 4 legs!!! A very generous hamper was much appreciated on our arrival. Would definitely recommend this property.

fantastic location, but heavy footfall past the house, meaning garden is quite overlooked. Very comfortable property, welcome basket was a nice touch. due to unforeseen circumstances, the property hadn't been cleaned before we went in. Cleaners arrived shortly after we did and were very apologetic and got through as quickly as possible to a good standard. Despite staying in August the weather wasn't kind to us and a smart tv would've been a real bonus.

Perfect Get Away

Had an amazing 3 night stay at this property which is situated overlooking sea and harbour and only a short stroll to the pubs and restaurants. Property was spotlessly clean when we arrived with a lovely welcome pack which was a very thoughtful touch, including milk and butter in the fridge. Property is very well kitted out and was very much like home to home. Highly recommend this property. We will definitely be back. Thank you :)

About the host

Hosted by Andy George

Host profile image
I live on the outskirts of London with my wife and dog and have been lucky enough to travel up and down to Poole since i was a young lad with my family, and now with my own family.

Why they chose this property

The location of this property cannot get much better if you want sea views and to have the option to just leave your car in the drive and walk around Poole and the local area.
We've been slowly upgrading the property over the past few years, and its really becoming what we've envisaged now. Those regulars who come back year on year have been making very positive comments. The bathroom was refurbished in 2014, and in May 2015 all carpets replaced, bedroom, lounge and dining room furniture replaced. An internal redecoration was also undertaken.
The Kitchen and dining room was all replaced in April 2016 with an external decoration undertaken also.
