Pet-friendly vacation rentals in Poole Harbour

Our third visit to this well positioned and well kept property. When we first saw its position on an estate and as a terraced property we were worried about noise but we couldn't have been more wrong and found no disturbances apart from a little road noise at the back of the house. Very easy walk to several beaches and a convenient park close by to walk the dog on arrival and before leaving.

Fantastic house and garden in great location near to the beach. Our party of 10 enjoyed a wonderful weekend in this lovely well equipped home. Louise was a terrific host and very responsive when we needed help. Highly recommend Mandalay.

Ideal location to the Quay and everything we wanted. We've had the privilege of living in Poole before and so we knew the area well. The house was very clean and provided everything we wanted. As stated in the description, the parking access to the back of the property is very tight but we managed to get one average sized car round there.

Lovely property. Cleaned to a high standard, location was perfect and very quiet. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Would recommend

We had a fantastic time at Brookside Farm - Swallow's Return was even nicer than we'd been expecting, with stunning views across the Dorset countryside and everything we needed for a few days of rest. The place was easy to find with the directions provided and we were given a very warm and friendly welcome by Charlotte, Jonni, Stanley and Maurice. They left plenty of local tips and suggestions for us in the apartment, which we made use of. The highlights for us were being given the chance to feed and learn more about their beautiful alpacas, eating out on the terrace in the evening at sunset and enjoying the sound of the brook that runs along the bottom of the farm. If you're looking to disconnect for a few days in a beautiful place surrounded by nature, we'd recommend it in a heartbeat.

Conker lodge felt like home from home! The place is welcoming and comfortable with lots of bits and bobs you might need during your stay - the spare backpacks were very handy! The place is super clean and just as described and really welcoming to dogs - our dog loved the pupcake (and we loved the lemon drizzle!). The hosts have thought of everything - I would definitely recommend staying here, thank you

We are home after a Mon- Fri half term break at Admiral’s Watch, and we have had a wonderful time. Before we arrived we had clear directions from Nicky along with a really helpful list of recommendations for places to go with the kids. Getting to the property was easy and it was great to have a dedicated parking spot. The area is peaceful and completely beautiful. The small precinct of shops/ restaurants within the terrace was useful and didn’t intrude on our stay at all. The property itself is beautiful and just like the photos- the sea is right in front of the apartment making the views amazing. Nicky has styled the property beautifully and there was plenty of space for us as a family of four plus our dog. Activity wise I would recommend a trip to nearby Hurst Castle, and a meal at the Cliff House restaurant which was a short stroll away. Totally recommended, we had a great stay. Thank you Nicky and Ed.

We have just returned from the most amazing week staying at the bolt hole. The house and location were just perfect and exactly what we needed for our two young energetic boys and dog. We spent plenty of time in the stunning garden and relaxing in the hot tub. Thank you so much Claire and Buster for making us feel so welcome and especially for allowing us to meet all of the animals. Freddie and Bertie will keep these memories for life and they are already missing playing with the dogs ( especially Fred ) and saying hello to Bernard every morning through the gate. We will definitely be back to stay again in the future.

A lovely place that’s great for being cozy and romantic. Hot tub and a BBQ are a must 😄

Very homely and very well stocked caravan. Nice and quiet when we stayed. Parking space at the side big enough for 2 cars. Samantha was very helpful and very responsive to messages. Activity passes included making this a very reasonably priced place to stay.

Great place to stay, very clean & tidy with everything we needed. Bread, milk, eggs, tea & coffee all provided and jams/butter in fridge. Nice to have small private outside space. Lovely surroundings on well maintained site with plenty of activities for all ages. Would definitely recommend and would return. Accommodation close enough to amenities for youngsters to walk to but far enough away to not be disturbed. Hosts very responsive to messages. Many thanks Roxanne & Louise

We hired this for a few days with family to celebrate my nans 70th birthday. Absolutely beautiful house and gardens and the facilities are amazing. We live locally so knew about the area but loved having a swimming pool, tennis courts and snooker table for all of us to enjoy. The lounge was bigger than we thought and comfortably sat all of us. We also received a helpful guide a few days before our stay which gave us all the information we needed. Overall a really lovely stay, thank you!

We had an excellent week at this property. Lovely location, we enjoyed our walks down to the beach each day with our dog. Such a lovely buzz on the beach, very chilled. The open top bus from the site to Sandbanks and Poole was great. Our teenage daughter and her friend made use of this a couple of times to go shopping and explore a little on their own. We visited Corfe Castle, which was in a lovely place and parked on the Purbeck car park (rather than the actual Castle Car Park) which gave a lovely scenic walk through and passed over the Steam Railway. We visited Lulworth Cove and did the cliff top walk over to Durdle Door, which was an amazing site. Weymouth is beautiful, very sunny that day so perfect for a sea side resort. We took a look at the Beach Hut, in a great place, with a green area, Cafe and play park. Would work really well as a base for enjoying yourselves, especially if you have younger children. Great location and lots to see and do. Thank you

Stayed here for my 50th birthday for a girly weekend away. Beautiful little cottage with beautiful gardens surrounding the property. 5 star hosts. Very friendly and very informative. Obvious how much they love what they do. We had great fun in the games room. And the hot tub was a lovely treat and a well needed relaxation after we walked into Burley village and back. The food hamper was amazing with everything we needed or could want. Local supermarket not far away either. Lovely gift 🎁 from the hosts on arrival a bottle of wine and box of choccies. Yummy. Thank you very much. And finally getting to cuddle a 9 week old Bengal kitten who belonged to our hosts has to be the highlight of our weekend. He was beautiful and we nicknamed him Burley. Wish I could have taken him home. Highly recommend this beautiful little cottage and its amazing hosts. Thank you ladies I had an awesome 50th birthday 🎈 xxx

thankyou to our host Sibylle for being so attentive friendly always on hand to advise and assist ,gave us loads of information on walks surroundings , wood burner Hot tub ready when we requested ,stunning setting and access to forest at the bottom of the driveway ,so peaceful and you just didn't want to leave ,everything you thought you'd forgot to bring was available all in a wonderful relaxing stay thankyou

Beautiful place to stay in if want peace, quiet and able to switch off from the world. was already planing when to come back.

Have just spent a wonderfully relaxing stay at Woodyhyde Lodge with my husband and dog. Perfect place to enjoy the Dorset countryside. The lodge was pristine and spacious with all the comforts of home. We had variable weather so at times chose to stay in and chill until the rain stopped. The garden was completely safe for our Cavapoo, Lola, which gave us peace of mind. Emma was on hand with suggestions of walks and pubs with great food. The shop at the campsite was open for forgotten milk and breakfast. We did lots of exploring in Corfe Castle, Studland and villages around. Would recommend the Square and Compass atWorth Matravers for pasties and The Fox in Corfe Castle for its feathered beef!

Our stay at Rowena’s property was a perfect first getaway with our 2 month old and our dog. She was really responsive with our questions about the travel cot as well as giving us recommendations for local walks. The property is in a great location, a short walk to the centre of Lyndhurst for food and coffee. Also a great central location to get out and about in the new forest with the baby and the dog. Would definitely recommend.

The house was lovely and nicely furnished. Very pleasant stay for the weekend and we enjoyed being able to walk into the local town. We found a couple of nice cafe’s for lunch and breakfast. Tom recommended The Cliff for dinner which was a 10 minute drive away, beautiful pub and delicious food, although on the pricey side. Would stay here again.

We had a great bank holiday weekend. The place was perfect for our family of 4 with our dog. Our kids loved the hot tub. We also thought the kitchen was good for eating meals. The location is amazing especially if you are looking to go to the dog friendly beach, ferry, or restaurants.

⸻ Absolutely gorgeous flat in Poole! Spotlessly clean with thoughtful touches throughout—everything had been considered. The bedding was lovely, and both the double bed and the large comfy sofa bed made for a great night’s sleep. Loved the little extras like milk sachets, coffee pods, and a coffee machine, which made the stay even more comfortable. The location is perfect—right next to the sea. Went to Rockfish for dinner, practically next door. Carly recommended Rick Stein Sandbanks which was wonderful. Luana was a fantastic host. Highly recommend this place!

Vickys place is lovely and the photos do not show the whole house. With a first floor lounge with big windows and a sitting room adjacent to the kitchen there was plenty of space for humans and dogs The house is located in a quiet residential area close to Poole Park, great for walks and sunsets. The parking space right outside the back gate is perfect. The house came with extra homely touches, a vase of fresh flowers and a bowl of fresh fruits as well as being sparkling clean. Would definitely stay again.

We had the best stay ever! The location was perfect for us and with what we had planned. The apartment was a welcomed surprise, with everything as described and more. We loved all the little touches that made our stay a home from home, especially traveling with a little one. The hosts were very friendly and proactive with communicating with us and this made our stay seamless. We highly recommend staying here and look forward to coming back. Thank you.

My wife and I and our two children (aged 11 and 7) had a fantastic time staying in the apartment. A perfect location overlooking the harbour and a short walk to the beach, with cafes and restaurants nearby too. Clean, well-equipped and very comfortable for our family. Delighted this was our Sandbanks base ☺️
