This beautiful fourth floor penthouse apartment commands superb views across Poole Harbour to Arne, Corfe Castle and the Purbeck Hills.

This sunny south-facing penthouse has high ceilings and is furnished in a luxuriously classic contemporary style. Great attention has been paid to interior design.

Ideal for a couple or family who want either a relaxing holiday away in a fabulous property or a want a fantastic apartment to return home to after a tiring day on one of the many local sandy beaches, or sightseeing, walking, cycling or taking part in the many watersports that take place in and around the harbour. You will want to return time and time again.

The south-facing apartment has a fully tiled bathroom with shower over bath, and a fully tiled en-suite with shower. The two single beds can be zip-linked to form a super king sized double. The other double bed is a queen size (140cm wide: double is 135cm, king size is 150cm).There is a washer drier in the kitchen and a 42 inch plasma with freeview in the lounge.The lounge and dining room has floor to ceiling windows on two sides with a patio door onto the balcony.

“Beautiful view and great base for visiting Dorset” We had a lovely relaxing stay and the large dual aspect windows were the main reason we booked. Regardless of the weather you can be guaranteed lovely views of the harbour with lots of natural daylight. The apartment was lovely and quiet and close enough to walk into Poole for evening meals. The apartment was immaculately clean and had everything you would need. The landlord and lady were keen to maintain high standards of cleanliness in the apartment and this was the only thing that detracted from fully relaxing (cream carpets and a 10 month old were not the most practical combination). Overall a lovely break.

“Harbour Watch apartment” We booked this for a restful holiday and anniversary treat. Beautiful apartment and the view was wonderful. The weather wasn't brilliant, sunny but cool and windy so we couldn't make... more

“Five Star All The Way” Absolutely brilliant. Ideal for the oldies. Views great. Apartment - out of this world. Could I fault anything? - would be extremely picky if I said I missed a bread bin. Other than that all we could wish for and more. Would easily return - and hopefully will. Because of the beautiful decor i would be inclined not to recommend young children Response: Good for the younger ones too! Have had many families stay with their children - from babies, toddlers to teenagers. Looking forward to seeing you again in September.
