Firstly, I was dismayed to find the house located in a run down housing estate right next to a school - which due to the time of our arrival, made parking even more tricky than usual. The house is a standard terrace property but far from luxurious - the garden was simply a tiny, enclosed back yard with high surrounding fencing making it feel very claustrophobic. The bedrooms were cramped although the beds were lovely and comfy.
There were many maintenance issues whist we were there - such as the continual flushing ensuite toilet, the bath having a broken plug mechanism ( so you couldnt get the plug out) doors with broken catches, the handle of the lounge door broke off leaving my dogs trapped on the other side, dripping shower heads - and it would have been nice to have instructions for the tv and dishwasher although these had been emailed before our stay - but i didnt think to print them off!
However, the house is geographically well located being close to the quay, station and some very nice restaurants, all just a short walk. There are some lovely places to visit too. The kitchen was very well equipped and the dining room table was lovely ( although there were only 4 chairs) Details such as candles and bathroom toiletries, were a nice touch.
The caretaker, Richard, was exceptionally helpful and really did try and resolve as many issues as he could and the toilet was fixed by the second night.
It was such a shame, as we were celebrating my mums 82nd & step fathers 87th birthday and I had booked this hoping for a luxurious weekend....luckily the weather was gorgeous.

From the outside the house looks ok but nothing special. However, once inside it is exactly what you want/hoped it would be. The house is extremely well presented, well cared for and genuinely like a home. It is across three floors, with a lovely top floor extension. The bedrooms are all a good size and the family bathroom is lovely. It was very clean too, which is obviously important. The lounge and kitchen were also very nice, with all the mod cons you would like to see. There was plenty to keep the kids entertained too. And even though there were 5 of us, plenty of space. It genuinely was like a home from home.
The location was ideal too, 5 mins walk from shops, 5 mins walk from the quay. Honestly we could not fault anything about the house or the location.

Great clean and tidy house that suited all our requirements, perfect location close to quay and all the local shops very clean and tidy on arrival do not pass this one buy if Poole Quay is your holiday idea.

House is lovely. You are greeted by Richard who can not do enough for you,. The house has EVERYTHING you need - so don't worry about packing up your kitchen and the sink because it's all there for you, there is a supermarket within walking distance for all your needs. Plenty on space, lovely bedrooms, bathrooms - I just can't say enough that the house has everything you will need for your stay. Lovely patio area with seating and if the weather is on your side there is even a bbq to be enjoyed. Poole town and quay is no more than a 5minute walk away with dog friends pubs and cafes. The harbour is amazing and a definite for a evening walk.
Sandbanks and the ferry to the neighbouring studland and their beautiful beaches are also a most. All in all a wonderful stay and we will be back next year.
Thank you

Very good, clean and tidy accommodation. Added bonus was the games and toys for the children. Very good central location too. Thanks!
