White Water-Lily

White Water-Lily: Dorset

Perfectly positioned a five-minute walk from Whitecliff Harbourside Park and a ten-minute drive from the centre of Poole, this family abode guarantees a fuss-free stay at the coast. For catch-ups over cups of tea and hunks of Dorset apple cake, the bright kitchen-dining space is the ideal spot – get comfy on the armchairs or pull up a seat at the table. If the weather is on your side, spill out into the garden to lunch alfresco followed by a snooze in the sunshine from the comfort of the hammock. Then grab the beach gear provided by your host and jump in the car to Canford Cliffs Beach, just seven minutes from your door. After a paddle in the brilliant blue waters and a stroll along the sands, enjoy a well-deserved ice cream from the kiosk and a crisp pint in the nearby pub. And when it’s time to call it a day, your cosy lounge with wood-burning stove is a delight to come home to.
