Perfectly positioned a five-minute walk from Whitecliff Harbourside Park and a ten-minute drive from the centre of Poole, this family abode guarantees a fuss-free stay at the coast. For catch-ups over cups of tea and hunks of Dorset apple cake, the bright kitchen-dining space is the ideal spot – get comfy on the armchairs or pull up a seat at the table. If the weather is on your side, spill out into the garden to lunch alfresco followed by a snooze in the sunshine from the comfort of the hammock. Then grab the beach gear provided by your host and jump in the car to Canford Cliffs Beach, just seven minutes from your door. After a paddle in the brilliant blue waters and a stroll along the sands, enjoy a well-deserved ice cream from the kiosk and a crisp pint in the nearby pub. And when it’s time to call it a day, your cosy lounge with wood-burning stove is a delight to come home to.

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...
