Holidays in Poole revolve around the stunning harbour, the second largest natural harbour in the world and a haven for sailors, kitesurfers and watersports enthusiasts. From the bustling Town Quay, catch a ferry or hop on a boat trip to nearby Sandbanks, famous for its endless golden sandy beaches and Rick Stein’s seafood restaurant, to Brownsea Island to spot red squirrels on its peaceful wooded trails, or to the Isle of Purbeck for more stunning coastal scenery and the fascinating Studland Nature Reserve.  Another day take a fishing trip, harbour cruise or powerboat ride, or simply hire a kayak or paddleboard to explore the coast at a more leisurely pace. And returning to the Quay after your day out exploring, you can enjoy delicious local seafood at one of the excellent waterside restaurants, or a well deserved drink watching the yachts and fishing boats returning to harbour as the sun goes down.  

Poole’s Old Town is another great spot to soak up the atmosphere of this historic maritime port with its links to pirates and smugglers. Wander around the cobbled streets to take in the sights, pop into the Poole Museum or browse the independent shops and boutiques. 

And there’s some excellent attractions to keep all ages happy during your holiday in Poole including outdoor fun at Upton Country Park and Splashdown Water Park, and some of the finest privately owned gardens in England at Compton Acres.

All this, combined with its mild climate, make luxury self catering holidays in Poole a great choice.
