About this property

Stunning Waterside Cottage in Poole Harbour

This fisherman's cottage is possibly in THE PERFECT location in Poole. Situated within a stones throw (literally) from the Sea, and right next to the Fisherman's Dock, with direct access to the sea side foot walk onto the Poole Quayside and Town Centre. There is an abundance of activities that you can book to include Fishing Trips, Dive Boats, Sailing Boats, Parascending and more, as well as fantastic array of bars and restaurants that cater for all ages and tastes. The two bedrooms both have stunning sea views, with the master bedroom looking out over the harbour and across to Brownsea Island. There is a comfy lounge area with all expected facilities and a dining area that leads out onto the 'sun trap' patio and garden that backs onto the harbour and is absolutely perfect for BBQ, playing with your children or just relaxing in the sunshine. This fantastic property is child friendly and has off street parking for 2 cars / boats.

Great house
We had a lovely few days at the cottage. Super views of the harbour, while preparing food in the kitchen, good access to shops and restaurants, dog walks on the doorstep. The house was very clean, the goodies left for us were welcome. We didn’t need to contact the owner as everything went very well.

Great location and lovely decorated
We had a great time in Poole and that house is a goodstating point for discerning the area. We found a lot of new sites. One minor optimisation would be a bit more storage area in the bath..

Excellent Location
We had an amazing stay in your lovely house. It is perfectly positioned to walk in to the centre of Poole. Getting up to that view every morning was great for the soul and the dogs loved being so close to the sea. The house was comfy and warm and had everything we needed. If we had to contact the owner we heard back in seconds. We would highly recommend 18 Green Gardens and shall certainly be returning ourselves xx

About the host

Hosted by Andy George

Host profile image
I live on the outskirts of London with my wife and dog and have been lucky enough to travel up and down to Poole since i was a young lad with my family, and now with my own family.

Why they chose this property

The location of this property cannot get much better if you want sea views and to have the option to just leave your car in the drive and walk around Poole and the local area.
We've been slowly upgrading the property over the past few years, and its really becoming what we've envisaged now. Those regulars who come back year on year have been making very positive comments. The bathroom was refurbished in 2014, and in May 2015 all carpets replaced, bedroom, lounge and dining room furniture replaced. An internal redecoration was also undertaken.
The Kitchen and dining room was all replaced in April 2016 with an external decoration undertaken also.
