THE BOATHOUSE. 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.
