Beneteau Bay

Poole Quay thrives with activity—ferries depart for Brownsea Island, restaurants line the waterfront, and the harbour itself becomes the focal point of any stay here. Beneteau Bay sits within Dolphin Quays, a development on the quay itself, meaning the water views and the buzz of the place are literally outside. The fourth-floor position brings those views into the living space, where you can see across towards the visitors' marina.

The apartment has two bedrooms and two bathrooms. One bedroom holds a king-size bed with its own ensuite shower room; the other has twin singles and shares a family bathroom with bath and shower. The open-plan living and dining area connects to a fully equipped kitchen with gas hob and electric oven, making it straightforward to cook or simply make coffee and settle in to watch the harbour. Essentials like bed linen, towels, Wi-Fi and heating are all provided, and you have a dedicated parking space on site.

This suits couples, small families or friends wanting a proper base rather than a hotel room. The location puts you within walking distance of independent cafes, proper restaurants, and the ferry terminal, while Poole's beach and coastal paths are close by. No smoking inside.
