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.

Perfect location

The cottage is in the ideal location, right on the water and within minutes of the quayside where you can enjoy lunch and dinner if you don’t want to go further afield.Perfect for the dog with an enclosed garden and the sea to swim in and a lovely green area five minutes walk away.

Fantastic property, with fabulous views in a great location

Lovely house and garden in a fantastic location, near all amenities. A wide range of pubs and restaurants within 5 mins walk. Sadly beach is only good for swimming if you have 4 legs!!! A very generous hamper was much appreciated on our arrival. Would definitely recommend this property.

Perfect Get Away

Had an amazing 3 night stay at this property which is situated overlooking sea and harbour and only a short stroll to the pubs and restaurants. Property was spotlessly clean when we arrived with a lovely welcome pack which was a very thoughtful touch, including milk and butter in the fridge. Property is very well kitted out and was very much like home to home. Highly recommend this property. We will definitely be back. Thank you :)

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.

Weekend Break

We had a lovely weekend break in Poole Quay, the cottage was just perfect. Lovely and cosy, beautifully clean, comfortable beds and superb location, couldn't ask for any more. Excellent communication from the owner who called to reassure that all was well given the recent storms. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend to friends and family and hopefully will return again soon.

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

New year break

The property was very welcoming and clean. The welcome pack was such a lovely touch. If I was asked for feedback it would be that we felt it lacked the following:- Stotage in Bathroom maybe a few shelves or a bathroom cabinet. A smart TV Personally found the bed very uncomfortable. The view and location was stunning lovely getaway for family time.

Fabulous find

The property is exactly as described and is in an absolutely brilliant location for Poole Quay and the surrounding area.Its also perfect for walks with the dog.There is a fully enclosed garden although we didn’t need to use it as the house is next to the path that goes along the waterfront with a large grassed area at Baiter for letting the dog off for a run.Andy is a great host and answered all my questions immediately.
