Harbour Point

Harbour Point occupies a contemporary waterfront building at Poole Quay, where the working harbour and coastal scenery form the backdrop to everyday life here. The apartment sits high enough to command uninterrupted views across the water, with a balcony positioned to catch the activity below—boats coming and going, the changing light on the water, the rhythm of the quay itself. A lift serves the building, and the location puts you steps from shops, cafés and the start of coastal walks.

Inside, the layout separates living from cooking in a way that works well for groups. The open-plan living and dining room connects to a balcony; the kitchen is independent and properly equipped for self-catering. Three bedrooms sleep five: two are king-size doubles, one a single. There are two bathrooms, including an en-suite to the main bedroom. Electricity, wifi, bed linen and towels are included. No smoking is permitted.

The quay itself is the appeal here—the constant gentle activity of a working harbour, the mix of independent businesses along the water's edge, and easy access to walks heading out towards the coast. Restaurants and pubs are within a mile. Allocated parking comes with the apartment.
