In the centre of Poole, you can reach this sleek seaside bolthole easily by train – the station is just a five-minute walk away. It also puts bars, restaurants and cafes on your doorstep. It feels light and airy in the open kitchen, living and dining room. From the kitchen, you can step out onto a private balcony and breathe in the salty air (a table and chairs can be set up out here for evening drinks). Bedrooms are comfortable havens and we love the big free-standing tub in the family bathroom.

Local guide
About Poole
The coastal town of Poole is home to Europe's largest natural harbour. Wander around the historic quayside with its impressive ships and luxury powerboats, or admire the Georgian architecture in the Old Town. In the middle of Poole Harbour, tiny Brownsea Island, famous for Lord Baden-Powell's scout camps, contains paths that meander through beautiful woods and heaths, where you'll see red deer, peacocks and red squirrels. Make sure you stop...
