Relaxed and comfortable, this Poole home makes a fuss-free base for a Dorset adventure. It's spread over three levels, and the top-floor suite boasts views across the harbour to Brownsea Island – imagine waking up to that each morning. Downstairs, the kitchen has all you need to rustle up the catch of the day while the electric fire keeps things cosy on chilly evenings. Come summertime, the private patio is the perfect spot for dinner and drinks in the sunshine. Location-wise, Poole Quay and the docks are just a short walk away. Further afield, yet within easy reach by car, are Bournemouth and Sandbanks Beach.

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...
