The Boathouse was fabulous very clean, comfortable and well equipped for our 3 night stay. My 2 grandsons enjoyed the big garden with the trampoline, swings and football nets but were disappointed that the advertised games room was not available nor the ‘hot tub’, which was prominently displayed in the description. Although the Boathouse was self contained you did need to walk through the hosts outside space to get to the accommodation, this was not an issue but would have preferred it separated. The host was responsive to a battery alarm that started late evening unfortunately could not be fixed until the following day.That said the location is fantastic just a 3 minute stroll down the short hill to the beach which is used by the local paddle board/ kayak club. It’s a short drive to a Co-op and centre of Poole making it a great base to explore Dorset.
