The Neighborhood: HAMWORTHY - POOLE'S INNER HARBOUR AREA - Just 10 minutes\` walk from Poole Quay via Poole\`s historic lifting bridge, Hamworthy is a quieter, predominantly residential area and Harbour Reach is the latest example of regeneration in this convenient location. The development offers some of the prettiest views of the natural harbour with Poole Yacht Club in the foreground and a wonderful vista across the harbour, to Corfe Castle and the Purbeck Hills beyond. Located close to Cobb\`s Quay Marina Hamworthy is a great base both for strolling into Town, and for driving out to explore the wider Dorset region. ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach towels ### Internet - Available in the house: WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Limited onsite parking (max 4 spaces) - Onsite parking options include a garage ### Kitchen - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Stovetop - Toaster ### Bedrooms - 3 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Hair dryer - Shower - Shower/bathtub combination ### Living spaces - Living room ### Entertainment - DVD player - Stereo - TV ### Outdoor areas - Garden - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Work spaces - Office ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - Fire extinguisher ### General - Garden - Unit size: 11 square feet ## Similar properties ![Beach](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/25000000/24310000/24306400/24306353/4424d698.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Purbeck cottage near Swanage & Studland - views of Corfe and I of Wight Langton Matravers - Kitchen - Washer - Pet-friendly - Free WiFi 9.4 Exceptional 68 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-13&endDate=2025-11-14&selected=24306353&PinnedHotelID=24306353&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/48000000/47040000/47039400/47039391/7fd01aa5.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### River Cottage a country retreat in wooded gardens Wareham - Kitchen - Washer - Pet-friendly - Outdoor space 9.4 Exceptional 11 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-13&endDate=2025-11-14&selected=47039391&PinnedHotelID=47039391&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Beach](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/119000000/118480000/118473300/118473244/7d32212a.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### 3-8 guests, wi-fi,parking, beach, river,golf courses, hospital, airport, shops Bournemouth - Washer - Dryer - Pet-friendly - Parking available [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-13&endDate=2025-11-14&selected=118473244&PinnedHotelID=118473244&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Outdoor spa tub](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/99000000/98550000/98544300/98544282/2efa3b92.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Classic Yacht Nadine with Hot Tub, Poole Harbour Bay Poole - Hot tub - Kitchen - Pet-friendly - Outdoor space 10 Exceptional 2 reviews CA $589 CA $767 total includes taxes & fees Nov 3 - Nov 4 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-03&endDate=2025-11-04&selected=98544282&PinnedHotelID=98544282&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![On the beach](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/34000000/33600000/33592500/33592411/w3069h1728x1y0-d71727fd.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Nestleton: Breakfast on the balcony or snuggle around the fire-dogs welcome too Swanage - Ocean view - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer 9.8 Exceptional 104 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-13&endDate=2025-11-14&selected=33592411&PinnedHotelID=33592411&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![TV, books](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/111000000/110270000/110264300/110264264/5f8bfbc2.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Seapoint- Boho Coastal Retreat near Sandbanks!
