Pet friendly holiday cottage, sleeps 4 - Poole, Dorset

Experience coastal living with your nearest and dearest, including two canine companions, during your stay in Poole, which is home to Europe's largest natural harbour and numerous sandy beaches. Settle into this stylish and contemporary property with coastal colours throughout as a nod to its surroundings. Walk through the hallway to reach the open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner, which is decorated with greys and blues.

To one side of the room is a cosy seating area with a corner sofa big enough to fit all four guests while you relax in front of the Smart TV or make plans for tomorrow. Move into the kitchen to find marble-effect surface tops, contemporary lighting and plenty of space for some teamwork while making dinner. When it's time to eat, gather at the elegant round wooden table with seating for four.

Also on the ground floor is the twin bedroom and a shower room. Climb the stairs to reach a spacious master bedroom with a king-size bed and a TV. Outside, you'll find a bench in the small garden with grass and potted plants.

Wake up and start your day with a stroll along the waterfront and a dip in the sea at Hamworthy Beach (0.5 miles) during your stay between the marina and Hamworthy Park. You'll also have a fish and chip shop, a handful of restaurants and shops all within 0.5 miles. Stroll around Upton Lake or hire a boat from Cobb's Quay Marina (1 mile).

Cross the Poole Town Lifting bridge to reach the centre of Poole (1.5 miles), where you'll find an abundance of eateries, cafes, shops and attractions. Catch a ferry from Sandbanks (5.5 miles) to Shell Bay Beach to explore the nature reserves and beaches of the Dorset Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
