Cross Hill

Holiday Rental Description

Uphill from the water’s edge, this home shows another side to the coastal town of Poole. It’s not all about watersports, boat trips, and beachside bars (although you can certainly still experience these delights, just two miles from the shore). A convenient three-minute walk from Parkstone train station, this apartment is located in a quieter, residential area where you’ll feel more like a local. But don’t be fooled – this is a VIP experience. Whether you’d like to arrange for the in-house chef to come over, spend the afternoon paddleboarding, or head out on a boat trip, your host will make sure your stay is memorable. As you arrive, enjoy delicious tea and biscuits, or a glass of wine, from your generous welcome hamper. While you savour nibbles in the lounge, admire the sophisticated interiors – dark blue feature walls, plush grey sofas, and a woven standing lamp are just a few elements we love. Huge windows usher in beautiful natural light in every room, with views of leafy trees outside bringing a sense of zen.

Home truths:
*If you'd like to pay extra for paddleboard hire, a private chef, boat trips, or a beach hut at Whitecliff Harbour Park, let your host know in advance
*Your host can provide a cot, high chair, and toys if you're bringing the little ones
*As well as essentials, your host provides non-bio laundry liquid and fabric softener, but not shampoo
*While dogs are welcome, there's an extra fee per dog depending on the size and weight – also, dogs are not allowed on the furniture, in bedrooms, or upstairs
* The second bedroom can be two single beds, or one super king bed
*To arrange something special during your stay for an extra fee – such as a celebration for your anniversary or birthday – let your host know and you can discuss packages
