Stunning Waterside Cottage in Poole Harbour

"What a lovely house! Perfectly placed and we loved waking up to the views! There was everything we needed in the house for a relaxed and comfortable stay - including a well stocked “welcome basket” which was lovely to arrive to after a long journey. Even though we were only able to stay for just the 3 nights - we managed to fit quite a lot in - but want to do so much more so we will just have to come back again."

Staff were fantastic though, especially the breakfast server and the breakfast itself was great."
