About the home
Tranquility is a beautifully appointed south-facing apartment recently completed. It has unrivalled stunning panoramic views across the main and most scenic part of Poole harbour. The tranquility offered together with the views are unequalled.
Yet it is only a short walk onto Poole Quay and the many restaurants and bars. Take a boat ride from the Quay around the islands or to Brownsea Island and nature watch or to Swanage. Alternatively watch the fishermen land or just sit and have a drink and people watch.
Water sports are popular around the harbour and there is a whole variety of other tourist attractions.
The apartment is as suited to a family holiday as it is to that romantic week away or just to enjoy the tranquility and views and re-charge those batteries! Currently taking 2 week bookings for summer 2011.

The West Country / Dorset region
Dorset's attractions are the mild climate, golden sandy beaches, beautiful coastline and countryside. It's weather is favourable, Dorset having amongst the most sunshine hours per year in the UK.
There are the dramatic ruins of Corfe Castle (National Trust), the Swanage Steam Railway, the long sandy beaches of Studland and the fascinating Sandbanks Chain Ferry (single car crossing approx £3) within a short distance. Treat yourself to tea at The Haven Hotel with its consevatory overlooking the entrance to Poole Harbour and the chain ferry.
Spend some time on the beaches of Sandbanks Peninsula, Poole, famous for having some of the most expensive properties in the world. Drop into Jazzy's Cafe (Shore Road) on a Sunday morning and read the papers and people-watch. See the Fireworks Display Summer Thursdays 10pm at Poole Quay.
For those interested in watersports, there is windsurfing tuition available at Whitley Bay, Sandbanks; sailing tuition at Rockley Watersports, Hamworthy, Poole; scuba diving off Swanage and sea fishing trips from Poole Harbour.
Water-skiing, wakeboarding and parasurfing also take place in Poole harbour. Mountain biking is a popular activity in the nearby Purbeck Hills.
Thomas Hardy based his many novels, eg The Mayor of Casterbridge, in Wessex - the Dorset countryside. An interesting read before bedtime!

Light, airy, warm and comfortably furnished apartment. Short walk to Poole town centre or frequent bus service nearby. Lovely views over the yacht club and river with some memorable sunsets. Excellent choice for those wishing to self cater due to the range and quality of crockery, cutlery and kitchen utensils. Even the kitchen knives were plentiful and sharp! We were able to prepare Christmas lunch as easily as being at home. We travel extensively and always try to select high quality accommodation. This apartment was amongst the best we have stayed in and represented good value for money. |

This is the first time we have spent a two week holiday in the UK. This apartment caused us to revise our thoughts on air travel & all the hassle. The apartment was very well kitted out , lovely position with magnificent views over Poole & the marina.Just sit & watch the sea & sailing. Very well positioned for Poole Quay which is always a hive of activity Bournemouth beach & shops within easy reach Sandbanks well worth a walk round if only to see how the other half live ! All in all one of our best holidays ever Response: Thank you so much for the review. Just to clarify, the apartment overlooks Poole HARBOUR and the marina. This is mentioned throughout our advert and can be seen on the photos. Thanks again for leaving the review and we're delighted you had such a fantastic time. |

We stayed here for a week in May and found it an ideal base for trips around Dorset, up the Jurassic coast, along to Bournemouth and beyond, and inland as far as Salisbury. We thought it pretty good... more |
