Top Shipstal Beach Hotel Reviews

Lazy Bear 25 Arne View Seaside home with great views, full kitchen&strong Wi-Fi.

10/10 Excellent

"We were a family of 4 adults and 3 children. Was a bit of a squash at times and would be better for just 6 people as we found the sofa bed a bit uncomfy. We did however manage to fit us all round the table and the home had everything we needed and was nice and clean. Haven gave us a 50% discount on play passes, probably because they knew the indoor pool was very booked up. We couldn’t book the pool but just turn up and see if there were places. I think people book in advance more than they need and then don’t turn up. There was only one day where we didn’t manage to get into the indoor pool and used the outside one instead. We visited Sandybanks beach in Bournemouth on 2 days, what a lovely beach, clean, toilets, shower and lifeguards. The sea was so nice to swim in.Food on site a bit expensive but lots of options offsite and close by. We had a meal out at The Yachtsman just down the road, which was lovely and the staff there were great. Hosts were great and their communication was very good."

Rambling Rose caravan with sea view on Rockley Park

10/10 Excellent

"Caravan was ideal for our needs although maybe needs a bit of updating. View was lovely and not too far to haven beach which had a cafe. Definitely enjoyed the paddle boarding."

Stunning 5 Bed - Balcony, Garden and Sea Views

10/10 Excellent

"The property is located in a quiet neighborhood, with a bus route directly to Poole and Sandbanks.The space is ideal for extended families with plenty of space, the property is very well equipped, we really enjoyed our stay."

THE BOATHOUSE. The gateway to the Jurassic Coast

8/10 Good

"This was a lovely property - clean, spacious and in a great location. Hosts were easy to contact and very responsive."

Isle View - Large Corner Balcony With Harbour Views

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent location for walking to Poole, a spritely 10 minutes. The views from the balcony are to die for. Sandbanks and Swanich are a short drive and the chain driven ferry is cool. Lots of lovely places to eat in Poole, would recommend St Tropez and Rockfish."

Waterfront Cottage on the Beach In Beautiful Dorset Countryside Sleeps 12

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing setting on Ower Bay, beautiful outdoor space. House itself is comfortable, has all amenities needed, and is cozy and clean but in a way you would expect in an older English cottage (low ceilings in some rooms, a few cracks in the paint on window frames etc). Emma was very responsive and helpful."

Stylish modern retreat overlooking Poole Quay

10/10 Excellent

"Nice Place, would stay again!"

Arum dog friendly caravan on Rockley Park, Poole

8/10 Good

"Dealt with Vrbo, Haven and the private owners, which got a bit confusing, for me anyway! Accommodation was well equipped and in a perfect location within the park, really handy for the amenities. I would recommend staying at Rockley Park. It’s the perfect place for exploring the beautiful Dorset countryside."
