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. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the house: WiFi ### Parking and transport - Wheelchair-accessible parking and van parking available ### Kitchen - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Hob - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Toaster ### Bedrooms - Bedroom - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Fireplace ### Entertainment - Music library - Smart TV with cable/satellite channels - Video library ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Garden - Outdoor furniture - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Work spaces - Printer ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - If you have requests for specific accessibility needs, please contact the property using the information on the reservation confirmation received after booking. - Accessible parking space - In-room accessibility - No lift (single-level property) - Wheelchair-accessible parking - Wheelchair-accessible path of travel - Wheelchair-accessible van parking - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Change of bedsheets (on request) - Change of towels on request - Iron/ironing board - Safe ### Things to do - Arcade/game room - Billiards/pool table - Foosball table - Gym - Table tennis ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - Fire extinguisher ### General - 100% renewable energy - Annual offsets purchased for at least 10% of carbon footprint - At least 10% of profits reinvested in community and sustainability - At least 80% lighting from LEDs - Bed sheets changed on request - Double-glazed windows - Energy-saving switches in guestrooms - Garden - Solar energy - Towels (changed on request) - Water-efficient toilets ## Similar properties ![Smart TV, video games](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/103000000/102130000/102126900/102126840/59886575.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Contemporary Charm by the Quay with Garden Poole - Kitchen - Washing machine - Pet-friendly - Free Wi-Fi 9.6 Exceptional 7 reviews £160 includes taxes & fees 21 Dec - 22 Dec [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-21&endDate=2025-12-22&selected=102126840&PinnedHotelID=102126840&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Outdoor dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/99000000/98550000/98544300/98544282/58663083.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Classic Yacht Nadine with Hot Tub, Poole Harbour Bay Poole - Hot tub - Kitchen - Pet-friendly - Outdoor space 10 Exceptional 2 reviews £426 includes taxes & fees 20 Dec - 21 Dec [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-20&endDate=2025-12-21&selected=98544282&PinnedHotelID=98544282&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Beach](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/116000000/115130000/115125800/115125796/500193e1.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Family home close to Lulworth Cove, Durdle Door, The Tank Musuem & Monkey World Wool - Kitchen - Washing machine - Dryer - Pet-friendly 10 Exceptional 3 reviews £284 includes taxes & fees 4 Jan - 5 Jan 2026 [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-04&endDate=2026-01-05&selected=115125796&PinnedHotelID=115125796&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Outdoor dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/103000000/102110000/102105000/102104909/5ecb3906.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Private Luxury By The Sea Poole - Hot tub - Kitchen - Washing machine - Air-conditioning 9.6 Exceptional 4 reviews £148 includes taxes & fees 19 Jan - 20 Jan 2026 [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-19&endDate=2026-01-20&selected=102104909&PinnedHotelID=102104909&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![TV](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/92000000/91220000/91214500/91214442/1594e0f3.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Elegant Apartment inc.
