It is in an isolated position with a beautiful view over Poole Harbour. There is a good variety of walks from the property (we walked to Studland and back for a pub lunch) and it is only a short drive to pubs/restaurants within the area. The cottage is fully equipped and due to the layout it feels very spacious. The outside space is ideal for al fresco dining. We would thoroughly recommend this property. ##### Tim B. Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### N V. 10 Aug 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Special family time Our family had a wonderful stay at Ower Quay Cottage and rarely left the property during their stay. It's rare to find a house in such a beautiful location. Even though we know the Isle of Purbeck well and have our own house near Church Knowle this was a new discovery. The house is vey well equipped and very comfortable inside. We all enjoyed spending time outside, on the grass and beach and watching spectacular sunsets. Unfortunately the outdoor equipment and furniture could do with replacing as one of the benches is cracked, fire pit on the way out, and the gas BBQ very temperamental. I'm an avid gardener/garden designer and would love to give the garden the care it needs. ##### N V.

Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2023 ### 4/10 Poor #### Benita M. 5 Aug 2022 Liked: Check-in, communication, location Disliked: Cleanliness #### Lovely location and plenty of space , it has potential! We chose this property for the location near to a wedding. The view and property itself were lovely but there was a lot to be improved upon . Small things really ,to bring this place up to an acceptable standard. Between the windows in every room there were a lot of dead insects, cobwebs etc and they had been neglected for a long time. Damp on the kitchen wall with flaked paint on the work surfaces. The downstairs rooms were OK with the exception of the main sitting room which smelled very badly of damp/mildew. The main bedroom has a large upholstered headboard which had dust clumps along the top , the bedlinen was very shabby .Two tiny thin cheap towels per person was inadequate . Under the bed was fuzzy with dust and pretty grim. The main bathroom window was broken there was no seal on the shower so water leaked on the floor , a hopeless wooden bathmat was provided and it was not safe for the more elderly in our party. Some of the beds were very comfortable but in two rooms the beds were very very squeaky! The cheapest possible garden benches were plonked in the garden and in a property such as this there really should be something better ( again these benches are not suitable for older people) Sunloungers were promised but nowhere to be found. The main issue outside was the huge amount of broken glass, directly outside on the lawn and in the swing area. There were also a lot of cigarette ends strewn about the place. A bossy notice saying that guests would be charged extra for not cleaning the barbecue was fair enough but no cleaning brush or barbecue specific cleaning materials were anywhere to be found ... Another little thing which would be so easy to remedy was that the cheapest possible hand soap was provided in slightly grubby pump dispensers . We had a lovely stay in spite of these small issues but this should be a luxury holiday cottage and the only luxury was the view . ##### Benita M.

Incredible location. Exceptional welcome basket on arrival. Only thing to note is spacing out showers if large numbers of guests are staying to give the immersion tank a break. We will be back soon! ##### Gabriel W.

I booked this property with a group of friends because of it's fabulous location. I already knew the area well and it did not disappoint! We took along a few paddles boards and enjoyed being able to get straight out onto the water in the early morning mist, sit around the fire pit in the evening and enjoy the local walks. The house itself is old and full of character with plenty of room for a large group. ##### Kathy E. Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2021 ### 8/10 Good #### Roland B. 25 Sept 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Tranquility Location: paradise Cleanliness: could do with a good clean, under beds, for example Kitchen: well stocked but missing garlic press and vegetable scraper Garden: gorgeous but the garden furniture an embarrassment and really took away from the cosiness and homely feel of the cottage both outside and inside. Would highly recommend this retreat, it is a unique property providing a tranquil bolt hole from the rat race, a gem. ##### Roland B. Stayed 5 nights in Sep 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Heather Bridger 20 Aug 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### unique holiday house We all (from 8 to 81) had a wonderful holiday. The children could safely run free outside and enjoy the swings, beach, climbing trees etc. The adults marveled at the beautiful outside space and were very comfortable inside too. The shallow water was ideal for the inflatable boats we took and the fire pit was great, especially when there were fireworks in Poole. Wild life was constantly interesting. I feel grateful that such a place has survived! Thank you Emma Heather ##### Heather Bridger Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### alison T., England 12 Apr 2019 #### Peaceful getaway Ower cottage is quite possibly the most beautiful place to stay in for a tranquil relaxing break. The views from the garden/ beach are magical. From watching the tides go in and out to observing the birds. The beach and garden are perfect for children to play in. Close by there is Studland beach, Corfe Castle and Swanage which offers lots for children to do. Or simply just walk out of the house across the heathlands and don’t take the car. The walks are beautiful. The house itself is stunning. We had a party of ten and there was more than ample space, with the children occupying one sitting room setting up camp. The welcome basket was the best we have ever been given, especially the home made apple cake! Emma the host was very helpful and made sure we had everything we wanted. We will most certainly return. ##### alison T. Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 7 Aug 2018 #### Perfect family holiday location An absolutely stunning waterfront location. Ten of us, six adults and four children, had a fantastic family holiday. The garden with swings, barbeque and tree house etc and the private beach made it a magical time for the kids especially - one day they preferred to stay at the house to play rather than go to the Studland beaches. The house is very well equipped and it has that lovely "comfortable" feel. It was great for hide and seek on the day it rained! It is very much off the beaten track so be prepared for peace and quiet (if the kids allow it). Thanks to Laura and James, the owners for providing such a perfect holiday retreat. Oh, and the Dorset apple cake upon arrival was also very welcome too! Cannot wait for our next visit. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Emma S. 16 Apr 2018 #### Couldn't have asked for a nicer spot This property is maintained to a very high standard. All 5 bedrooms were beautiful with very comfortable beds, kitchen has everything you need for cooking for 12 at home and the fires are so nice on cold nights. Towels, bed linen are all provided, as well as a welcome hamper to get you started with eggs, milk, biscuits etc. We came on Easter weekend and they had some nice little Easter touches like an Easter wreath and decorations. The surroundings are also a great place for an Easter egg hunt!! I would definitely recommend this place to friends. ##### Emma S.

The house is very homely and very child freindly, the pictures dont come close to how amazing the place is, every room and every view from every window.Even the bed sheets and towels smelt fresh and clean (big big thing for us).Cant fault one thing about our stay here or the holiday as a whole.

The children loved having to drive through 3 gates to get to it, and immediately claimed one sitting room as their own. We kayaked and rowed, wandered the grounds and the shore and had a lovely afternoon on Studland. Morning coffee in the garden (apple cake supplied in our welcome basket); delicious suppers rustled up by the dads in the well equipped kitchen. Plenty of room for all of us to pursue our chosen activities and a warm welcome - thank you Laura's husband for making sure the Waitrose man got through!

We had a great welcome with homemade Dorset apple cake and friendly greetings from James. The instructions for getting to the house were clear. This was helpful as part of its beauty was the rather remote location. This is one of the best equipped properties we have ever stayed in. There were nine of us and it was a pleasure to cook in the kitchen and eat in the big comfortable dinning room. Everyone spent time in the garden watching the wild life and the ever changing estuary . We highly recommend Ower Quay Cottage. ##### Mary H.

One of the most beautiful places I've ever stayed Some friends and I spent a weekend here in May. I completely agree with the review below this, the pictures do not do it justice or catch the extent of the beauty of Ower Quay Cottage. The house itself is beautiful and full of character, whilst providing everything you need. The location is simply amazing. Waking up every morning to the sunrise across Poole Harbour, watching the local wildlife around us was a highlight. Equally, sitting around the firepit as the sun set over the bay with a glass of wine was also a wonderful and memorable experience. Thank you to Emma and Laura who were so efficient and who made us feel so welcome. We hope to stay again next year. ##### Jane S. This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Emily L. 13 Apr 2017 #### The pictures don't do it justice! Stayed at the cottage with a group of friends for a weekend. The photos don't even come close to showing how amazing the house is. In the middle of nowhere with great views and the sea in your back garden. Couldn't have enjoyed our stay more. Hosts were so helpful with any questions we had and even left us a welcome hamper. We were very fortunate with the weather as it was perfect for BBQs and being in the garden. Amazing venue. ##### Emily L. ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [The Coppid Beech Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bracknell-Hotels-The-Coppid-Beech-Hotel.h3809.Hotel-Information) > > [Carden Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Chester-Hotels-Carden-Park.h190780.Hotel-Information) > > [Hampton by Hilton London Gatwick Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gatwick-Hotels-Hampton-By-Hilton-London-Gatwick-Airport.h7234788.Hotel-Information) > > [Hampton by Hilton London Stansted Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Stansted-Hotels-Hampton-By-Hilton-London-Stansted-Airport.h18464320.Hotel-Information) > > [Stratford Manor Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Stratford-Upon-Avon-Hotels-Stratford-Manor.h27936.Hotel-Information) > > [Ashford International Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ashford-Hotels-Ashford-International-Hotel.h527123.Hotel-Information) > > [Retallack Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/St-Columb-Major-Hotels-Retallack-Resort.h4537229.Hotel-Information) > > [Bloc Hotel London Gatwick Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gatwick-Hotels-Bloc-Hotel-London-Gatwick-Airport.h6594190.Hotel-Information) > > [Sand Bay Holiday Village](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Weston-Super-Mare-Hotels-Sand-Bay-Holiday-Village.h11443695.Hotel-Information) > > [St Michael's Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Falmouth-Hotels-St-Michaels-Resort.h2951426.Hotel-Information) > > [Crowne Plaza Stratford Upon Avon by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Stratford-Upon-Avon-Hotels-Crowne-Plaza-Stratford-Upon-Avon.h11307.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton London Gatwick Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gatwick-Hotels-Hilton-London-Gatwick-Airport.h20753.Hotel-Information) > > [Norbreck Castle Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Blackpool-Hotels-Norbreck-Castle-Hotel.h6377.Hotel-Information) > > [Eastwell Manor, Champneys Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ashford-Hotels-Eastwell-Manor.h905662.Hotel-Information) > > [Camelot Castle Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tintagel-Hotels-Camelot-Castle-Hotel.h8083111.Hotel-Information) > > [Hollins Hall Hotel, Golf & Country Club](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Shipley-Hotels-Hollins-Hall-Hotel.h63744.Hotel-Information) > > [Chesford Grange Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kenilworth-Hotels-Chesford-Grange.h920291.Hotel-Information) > > [Grand Burstin Hotel Folkestone](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Folkestone-Hotels-Grand-Burstin-Hotel-Folkestone.h1201483.Hotel-Information) > > [The Mill Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Chester-Hotels-The-Mill-Hotel-Spa.h1695656.Hotel-Information) > > [Village Hotel Manchester Ashton](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ashton-Under-Lyne-Hotels-Village-Hotel-Manchester-Ashton.h1848975.Hotel-Information) > > [The Winchester Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Winchester-Hotels-The-Winchester-Hotel-Spa.h26080.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton at St George's Park, Burton Upon Trent](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Burton-On-Trent-Hotels-Hilton-At-St-Georges-Park.h5094740.Hotel-Information) > > [Radisson Blu Hotel Manchester, Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Manchester-Hotels-Radisson-Blu-Hotel-Manchester.h120016.Hotel-Information) > > [The Spa Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Royal-Tunbridge-Wells-Hotels-The-Spa-Hotel.h8849.Hotel-Information) > > [Hythe Imperial Hotel Spa & Golf](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hythe-Hotels-Hythe-Imperial-Hotel-Spa-Golf.h9108.Hotel-Information) > > [The Rutland Arms Hotel, Bakewell, Derbyshire](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bakewell-Hotels-The-Rutland-Arms-Hotel.h792056.Hotel-Information) > > [Harbour Beach Club & Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Salcombe-Hotels-Harbour-Beach-Club-Hotel-Spa.h2261933.Hotel-Information) > > [Fistral Beach Hotel and Spa - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Newquay-Hotels-Fistral-Beach-Hotel-And-Spa-Adults-Only.h1895493.Hotel-Information) > > [Worcester Whitehouse](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Worcester-Hotels-Worcester-Whitehouse.h18498.Hotel-Information) > > [Cotswolds Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Chipping-Norton-Hotels-Cotswolds-Hotel-Spa.h13106835.Hotel-Information)
