This gem in Poole is a fabulous place to begin your seaside getaway. With space for up to four guests, you can kick back and chill out in style between your adventures on the Dorset coast. 

Step inside, and you'll find a serene space with a sophisticated grey and blue colour palette that creates a feeling of calm throughout. The velvet sofa is the perfect place to stretch out with an evening tipple, and the open-plan setup makes it easy to chat with your guests while cooking and relaxing. The kitchen has everything you need to whip up your favourite dishes, and you'll love the handy pod coffee machine that makes mornings a breeze. 

A fifteen-minute stroll will bring you right into the heart of Poole, where you can watch the boats bobbing in the quay and dine on fresh seafood at one of the local restaurants. Wander in the other direction, and you'll arrive at the sandy shoreline of Hamworthy Beach, a great place to paddle and build a sandcastle. And, nature lovers can take a twenty-five-minute drive over to Hartland Moor National Nature Reserve for some wildlife watching and rambling through the stunning countryside.

This attractive apartment is located directly on Poole Quay, with stunning views of the harbour. The apartment is modern and sleek, with everything you might need for a laid-back harbourside stay. We love the private terrace, which overlooks the Sea Music sculpture and is a wonderful spot for watching the boats coming and going from the harbour. The sandy beaches of Sandbanks and Branksome are a fifteen-minute drive, and Sandbanks can also be reached by boat.

This Westbourne flat is a brilliant gateway to both Dorset's coast and countryside. With a thoughtful range of amenities and space for two guests – plus a furry friend – couples will love kicking back and relaxing here between their adventures.  

The interior is bright and airy, with a contemporary collection of furniture and stylish sloping ceilings. Open a bottle of wine, and sip a glass as you prepare a delicious dinner together – the open-plan setup makes it easy to chat while you cook. And, afterwards, you can curl up on the sofa and get comfortable as you plan your itinerary for the following day. 

Bournemouth town centre is a twenty-minute walk away, where you'll find plenty of shops, restaurants, and cafés to try out. Refuel and continue your walk down to the water's edge – it takes around forty minutes to arrive at the iconic pier and sandy beach. Golfers will be happy that the local course is just a ten-minute drive away, while nature lovers can stroll through Upton Country Park, just fifteen minutes away by car.

In the exclusive coastal suburbs between Poole and Bournemouth, this 1920s period home is the perfect family break. It’s just a short walk from the restaurants and cafés of Penn Hill, and a four-minute drive (or half-hour walk) sees you at your own private beach hut on Branksome Beach (on request). This cute little hideaway has a gas stove in its kitchenette for the most fabulous beach picnic and is packed with all the beach essentials. At the home itself, a mock-Tudor-style facade greets you and the private garden is a real sun trap. The courtyard to one side has a bench in the sun and the patio out the back houses the alfresco dining table where you can keep an eye on little ones running around the lawn. If you want luxe sleepovers or a shaded place to laze during the day, your host can arrange for a bell tent to be set up. The open-plan living area has a wood-burning stove, setting the cottage-cosy tone. Shelves are packed with books and kids’ toys so you know this place is family-friendly, and there’s a curved window seat for a quiet moment in the sun. Bedrooms let you drift off into a sea of dreams with their nautical and beach hut themes.

The sights and sounds of Poole's quayside can be felt from your balcony, providing a dreamy scene to accompany your morning breakfast, lunch or dinner. Sit out on the cosy space any time of day and feel energised by the fresh scents of the sea.

Once you've fully awoken with breakfast and coffee on the balcony, make your way down to the picturesque waterfront. Find quaint cafes, seafood restaurants and authentic stores selling cute clothing and funny mementos. 

Wander inland and you'll discover the rustic charm of The Old Town, a a collection of welcoming pubs, ice cream stores and fish and chip shops. Simply stroll around the vibrant streets, ice cream in hand, and feel the charisma of the town. 

Of course, no trip to Dorset is complete without sampling the beautiful beaches. Take some refreshments and spend a day under the summer sun, taking frequent dips in the water.

However you spend your days, you can relax at night in the quiet comfort of the home. Gather on the dining table with a spectacular view, snuggle up on the sofas with a film or watch sunset from the intimacy of the balcony.



Breakfast By The Beach

A short walk from the vibrant village of Ashley Cross, which offers a variety of local bars, restaurants and coffee shops, this modern apartment has a convenient address. There's a south-facing balcony to soak up the Dorset sun, while inside, there's a well-equipped kitchen for cooking some local seafood. There's also a parking space within the development's underground parking bay. This place is ideal for families or two couples looking for a comfortable and base in Poole.

This family home is located in the heart of Dorset, close to Westbourne Village and its independent shops, restaurants, bars, and cafes. It’s a ten-minute drive from the sandy beaches of Bournemouth, Branksome Chine, and Alum Chine. If you’re not at the beach, you can enjoy a pleasant walk through the nearby protected heathland. The home is bright and welcoming, with a patio garden – and a handy barbecue – and a balcony. We think this is an excellent choice for families.

There are stays in Poole and then there are stays right on Pool Quay. In the very heart of things, this new home has been built overlooking the harbour, with views from almost every window. Just outside you'll see the busy boats, cafes and restaurants of this hub of activity, with the shipyard of one of the world's biggest luxury motor yacht companies just across the water and the ferry to Brownsea Island just steps away.

Inside, there's a modern, white and cream look to this sparkling apartment, with floor-to-ceiling windows and a sociable, open layout to the living space. There's a well-kitted-out kitchen for cooking at home and a small but perfectly formed balcony – big enough to sit out on with a morning coffee (or an evening glass of wine). With the high street around the corner and the local museum across the street, locations don't get any more convenient.

Hello, harbour views. This contemporary flat perched right on Poole's bustling quayside is the epitome of coastal living. The private balcony is a dream come true, and we bet you'll spend every spare moment admiring the scenery. Rise with the sun and enjoy a cup of coffee alfresco, watching as the ships bob in the water. For lunch, nibble on the local treats left in the welcome basket before toasting your arrival with a glass of white wine as the sun goes down.

When you're not lolling about on the balcony, the light-filled interior is just the ticket after long day exploring Dorset. Make yourself comfortable on the sumptuous cream sofas – perfect for snuggling up for at-home movie nights – or rustle up dinner using fresh-caught seafood in the shiny kitchen. Stylish elements like rattan dining chairs and seaside curios add to the beachy-keen atmosphere, so if living by the sea is what you crave, you can't go wrong. 

Poole Quay is literally on your doorstep, so maritime activities like boat journeys, fishing excursions and trips to the National Trust's Brownsea Island are all within easy reach. Stroll along the waterfront path or pedestrianised high street in search of shops, restaurants and pubs before making the thirteen-minute drive to Sandbanks Beach and spending the afternoon sprawled out in the sand and swimming in the ocean.

Steering for the Open Blue

Courtyard

With an excellent address in the heart of Poole Old Town, just a two-minute walk from the Quay and its many local attractions and restaurants, this home is a gem. It's within a minute's walk of both the historic church of St James's and the town's Registry Office, so it's the ideal place to stay if you're attending a wedding. There’s a sunny, child-friendly, private decked courtyard garden with an outdoor heated shower – perfect for rinsing off the sand after a trip to the beach. This place is ideal for a seaside break.

Uphill from the water’s edge, this home shows another side to the coastal town of Poole. It’s not all about watersports, boat trips, and beachside bars (although you can certainly still experience these delights, just two miles from the shore). A convenient three-minute walk from Parkstone train station, this apartment is located in a quieter, residential area where you’ll feel more like a local. But don’t be fooled – this is a VIP experience. Whether you’d like to arrange for the in-house chef to come over, spend the afternoon paddleboarding, or head out on a boat trip, your host will make sure your stay is memorable. As you arrive, enjoy delicious tea and biscuits, or a glass of wine, from your generous welcome hamper. While you savour nibbles in the lounge, admire the sophisticated interiors – dark blue feature walls, plush grey sofas, and a woven standing lamp are just a few elements we love. Huge windows usher in beautiful natural light in every room, with views of leafy trees outside bringing a sense of zen.
