Once Upon a Tide

Poole's waterfront location makes it an easy base for exploring Dorset's coast, and Once Upon a Tide sits within the Vespasian development right by the quay. The apartment is a single bedroom, one bathroom property that sleeps three, arranged across the ground floor with direct access to a private balcony. A sofa bed in the living area provides the third sleeping space when needed.

Inside, the open-plan living and kitchen area flows through to that balcony, where you can take in the morning or unwind in the evening. The kitchen is fitted out for proper self-catering—electric oven, induction hob, dishwasher, and the usual appliances—while the bedroom has a kingsize bed that can be split into twin singles if you prefer. The bathroom combines a bath with a shower over it and a heated towel rail. Essentials like bed linen, towels, Wi-Fi, electricity and heating are all covered; there's a permit for one car in the car park.

From the quay you can walk to restaurants, pubs and shops within moments. The sandy beaches and ferry links are equally close by. No smoking inside the apartment.
