About this property

THE BOATHOUSE. The gateway to the Jurassic Coast

Hi Air b&b ers. I have a real special treat for you. I d like to introduce the boathouse. It is in an amazing location right on the edge of Poole Harbour.And a beautiful nature reserve you won't want to go home. One bedroom with a further Bed in the living area. One is a neatly tucked away and sits in front of a 50 inch TV and every one wants this king size super comfy bed. Is a great place to lose yourself in a book wont be disappointed. New for 2025 an all weather surface.Pickle ball.

The Boathouse was fabulous very clean, comfortable and well equipped for our 3 night stay. My 2 grandsons enjoyed the big garden with the trampoline, swings and football nets but were disappointed that the advertised games room was not available nor the ‘hot tub’, which was prominently displayed in the description. Although the Boathouse was self contained you did need to walk through the hosts outside space to get to the accommodation, this was not an issue but would have preferred it separated. The host was responsive to a battery alarm that started late evening unfortunately could not be fixed until the following day.That said the location is fantastic just a 3 minute stroll down the short hill to the beach which is used by the local paddle board/ kayak club. It’s a short drive to a Co-op and centre of Poole making it a great base to explore Dorset.
