Great restaurants, good transport links, some lovely areas to walk. We would highly recommend this place for a weeks break.

- Paul, September 2024

Linda September 2024

“Maybe a couple of hooks in the kitchen to hang up tcloths and hand towels, and also on bedroom door to hang dressing gown.”

Hand rail in shower would be an advantage, only suggests, brilliant place and have re-booked.

- Linda, September 2024

- Pamela, September 2024
Ann June 2024

“Lovely house with lots of nice homely touches.”

Fully equipped for all our needs. Great location near to all amenities. 0wner's were very helpful when we struggled with getting key, as we misread the instructions. Would definitely go back if we are in that area again.

- Ann, June 2024
Gary June 2024

“We were well pleased with the house which was lovely and clean.”

It is in a very quiet location and within easy walking distance of the quay with lots of places to eat. We had a great stay and wouldn't hesitate to book Harbour View again.

- Gary, June 2024
Stuart May 2024

“Great location.”

Well equiped kitchen. It was our second visit and hope to stay again.

- Stuart, May 2024
Anthony April 2024

“It’s wonderfully placed but don’t expect comfort on the scale of any other Sykes cottages we have stayed in.”

Spartan springs to mind.

- Anthony, April 2024

Thank you for your feedback. I'm sorry you did not find the cottage as comfortable as others; this has never been raised as an issue before, as reflected in other feedback. We hope your enjoyed your stay otherwise. Property Owner
Christopher March 2024

“Lovely clean and comfortable property with everything you need in a beautiful quiet location probably the best one we have stayed in.”

Look forward to returning to this property.

- Christopher, March 2024

Thank you very much. So pleased you enjoyed Harbour View Poole. I have changed the wording for clearer instructions on the key box. Should make it easier for everyone. Property Owner
Valerie January 2024

“19 Labrador Drive is lovely.”

Exceptionally clean and comfortable. We had great difficulty finding Harbour View. We spent nearly half an hour looking for it until we realised we actually needed 19 Labrador Drive! We were disappointed there was no two pin socket in the bathroom for the electric razor and toothbrush charger. The double bedroom door was noisy when opening and closing, disturbing the twin room occupant. An extra socket in the double bedroom would have been good for using the hairdryer.

- Valerie, January 2024

Thank you for letting me know, I have added a two pin adapter. Property Owner
Brian June 2023

“I tend not to recommend services, in case anything goes wrong after my recommendation.”

This is a lovely little house well maintained, clean, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay there again.

- Brian, June 2023
John May 2023

“Very comfortable, well equipped house in an ideal location for exploring local area.”

- John, May 2023

Thank you so much, we do appreciate your feedback. Good to hear you enjoyed Poole. Property Owner
Rachel April 2023

“The house was perfect for all our needs.”

The location is 10 out of 10, great for a walk into Poole quay or Poole Park and ideal for road networks. The owners where quick to help with any queries, nothing was too much. Already looking for to another stay.

- Rachel, April 2023

Thank you so much, very kind. Happy to hear you had a good time. Property Owner
Elizabeth March 2023

“The house was very clean and well equipped.”

Sadly we were very disappointed with the state of the garden. Very dirty, bits of debris on the ground. I have photos to share. We felt that the patio should have been swept and hosed down at the very least. Privacy in the garden is an issue and inside the lounge when the curtains are open. People can look in through the back fence alongside the pavement,which they frequently did and straight into the lounge. That panelling should be similar to the side panelling which makes it private.

- Elizabeth, March 2023

Thank you for photos. My husband went over to clear it up. It was apparently remains of a dead Seagull. He also painted the fence Sea Blue as you found it unattractive. Hope it helps. Property Owner
Debbie October 2022

“We’ve had a fantastic week at Harbour View.”

The house is perfect for exploring Poole and the harbour and is within easy reach of Bournemouth and beaches. It had everything we needed and was warm and comfortable.

- Debbie, October 2022

Tony June 2022

“Hi the propety at harbour view poole was 1st class we could not fault it bus stop 100 yards away we wil go back next year.”

- Tony, June 2022

Thank You. Hope to see you again next year. Property Owner
Antoni June 2022

“Great location and good to be so close to the quay.”

Good clean accommodation and facilities. Only problem was the noise of the boiler in the twin bedroom which started at 6:30am instead of the expected 8:00am, so switched it off after the first morning and all well after that.

- Antoni, June 2022

Thank you for the feedback. We’re sorry you were disturbed. I’ve reset the timer to 8am and provided detailed instructions on how to set the time so any guest can have hot water when they need it. Thank you. Property Owner
Joan May 2022

House well equipped and tea and coffee waiting for us. A very enjoyable week.

Christine March 2022

“We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Poole.”

The property was exactly as described with all facilities working perfectly. It’s a great situation and a good base from which to explore the area. We appreciated having the secure outdoor space to lock up our bikes.

- Christine, March 2022

Thank you very much, we are happy to hear you enjoyed the area and accommodation. Property Owner
Sue October 2021

“Very clean property, comfy beds.”

Good location for exploring Dorset, lovely view of the harbour from the property. The shower was very disappointing. Not enough water pressure. Also would have been handy to have WiFi.

- Sue, October 2021

One or two people have let us know the pressure is low on the shower so we have now rectified that with a plumber fitting an electric pump so the pressure is now very good and gives an excellent shower. Thank you for your feedback. Internet has now been installed for this years letting season. Property Owner
Simon and elaine September 2021

“Misleading information no Wi-Fi found out 3 days before we traveled, bathroom was minute hardly room for one person,bath over shower very poor,very slow again no mention of this in information on property.”

This is advertised as a 4 tick’s property it certainly isn’t at all.

- Simon and elaine, September 2021
Helen September 2021

“We were very pleased with the accommodation.”

It was cleaned to a high standard (and I’m fussy). The accommodation was well equipped and the decor and furniture was bright and modern. It was a perfect location being within a short walk from the centre of Poole with all its shops, bars, eateries and good bus services and boats too! The sea view from the main bedroom window was a pleasure to see everyday! We had a fantastic week and visited lots of interesting places around Poole. We would definitely recommend Harbour View, Poole

- Helen, September 2021

Thank you very much for a positive feedback we are very happy you enjoyed our little house by the bay. It is an ideal spot for exploring the beauty of Dorset. Property Owner
Chris September 2021

“House was very clean and in a great location.”

The bathroom was very small and the shower wasn’t very good. There was no WiFi which we found inconvenient and would of been useful if this was in the summery as we didn’t know until we arrived.

- Chris, September 2021

One or two people have let us know the pressure is low on the shower so we have now rectified that with a plumber fitting an electric pump so the pressure is now very good and gives an excellent shower. The heated towel rail has been repaired. Internet will be installed in March for next years letting season.Thank you for your feedback. Property Owner
