About the area

Poole

Located in Poole, this holiday home is near a water park and near the beach. While the natural beauty of Bournemouth Beach and Dorset and East Devon Coast can be enjoyed by anyone, those looking for an activity can explore Poole Harbour. Lighthouse, Poole's Centre for the Arts and Tower Park are also worth visiting.

Our second visit to Lander and once again we were not disappointed. The house has everything you need for a comfortable stay. It is in an ideal location in a beautiful part of the country. Shopping, restaurants and pubs are all within easy walking distance. Beaches and Marinas are just a short drive away. We appreciated the beach towels which we put to good use! Lander has become our preferred go-to property for future visits in the Poole & Bournemouth area. Looking forward to visiting again in 2027!

Lovely 1 roomed house close to Harbour side park, Poole centre, and harbour. Ideal transport links to explore the area, including trains, buses and boats. It's our third stay now, we love the area. Traffic noise might be an issue for some.

My partner and I have been staying at various properties on Harbourside for many years both just as a couple and with family. This lovely little property was my favourite for our needs for just the two of us with its perfect location so close to the quayside yet also very close to the town centre and supermarkets. I thought I’d found our new future ideal Poole holiday accommodation so was extremely disappointed to discover it’s not available to rent after early September. Hopefully, this review says it all about our experience. I see no point in writing any further feedback for a property that’s not got much longer on the holiday rental market.

This property is excellently situated. There are supermarkets near by. It's not far to the bus station, town centre or Quay. There is traffic noise which could disturb some people but it didn't worry us.The best part for us was the garden with all the different shrubs. We were lucky with the weather and were able to enjoy our meals outside.Just one small thing - the parking space needs to be looked at as roots are pushing up the concrete.We certainly hope to be back next year.

Ideal location

Home from home, every thing you need was provided. Excellent shower too. Only a 10 minute walk to Poole Quay which was perfect for going to one of the many restaurants for evening meals. Aldi was only 5 minute walk from the house to stock up on basics. Would love to return one day.

Nice house but shame about road noise

This is a nice holiday house, very small but enough space for 2 people and quite comfortable. However it has some significant downsides, the most important of which is the location. I never would have booked had I known about the road noise. The house overlooks a busy roundabout, rendering the (lovely) garden useless; the noise was particularly annoying at night as the bedroom window opens onto the roundabout (over the garden). We ended up leaving a day early because we couldn't stand it any longer and wanted some peace and quiet. The house was generally clean, however we had to wash most of the crockery, glasses, cutlery, etc before use. I was also disappointed with the shower - the bathroom is described as 'pure indulgence' so my expectations were raised; however the shower is very weak - I couldn't wait to get home to wash my hair properly. We were disturbed one afternoon by a representative from the property management company, who wanted to come and look for a gas certificate, which he didn't find. This was a very annoying intrusion. I emailed Tracey and Andrew straight away to ensure the man didn't come back (he had a key!), and Andrew did apologise and immediately called the property management company. Like another reviewer, I also had to request the breakage deposit be returned; and I had to remind the owners to send a key before our stay, as 1 week before it still had not arrived. Overall, I expected a lot more given the price and was quite disappointed.
Response from VrboOwner on 24 Mar 2020
We have many guests who return to Lander annually (some four years in a row) especially because of the wildlife that thrives in the garden. As well as enjoying the alfresco space, high standard and cleanliness. Traffic is to be expected in a busy seaside town in the height of summer. It is harsh to say that house is generally clean. Our housekeeper is very meticulous. We also personally check our properties before new guests arrive. You were quick enough to contact us regarding the oversight of the estate agent to which we responded immediately. It was mentioned he had a key to the property. You chose to let him in. The norm would have been to refuse entry! We find it unbelievable there was no mention of the power shower problem when you notified us about the agent! If advised it wasn't working well, we could have sent our maintenance man over to take a look. However, we are not given the opportunity of doing so. The damage breakage deposit was returned on Thursday 2nd October via fast bacs payment (this being three days after departure date on Mon 29th September) An email was sent confirming that your deposit had been refunded and hoped you enjoyed your stay at Lander. To which you replied … we did thank you and were lucky with the weather. No reference anywhere of shower problem, disappointment or unhappy stay - until the review appeared! Three days prior to your stay you enquired about cancelling your booking. Unfortunately, holidaymakers rarely or forget take out insurance and cancellation cover. This would have been beneficial in your case. Hence the unfair review!

Nice cosy property but there was a problem.....

This is a small but cosy property just at five minutes away from Poole Quay. The weather was great for May, 20-23 degree Celsius with a lot of sun too. So we have had the opportunity the discover Poole and his surroundings which was great. But on arrival we found long hairs on the gas stove, the plates in the cupboard, the bathtub and in the cabinets in the bedroom (and more..) Also the plates and cutlery where greasy and must be cleaned by us before use. We rase this issue by Andrew, but apart from excuses nothing happened. This is not what you want to find and you expect a solution but even asking Andrew on Monday two times to clean the property during our stay but nothing happened to solve this....... Is that what you expect during you're holiday? We not. we rate it 2 1/2 stars.

This is a delightful property, very convenient for ditching the car and walking.

This property is finished to a high standard and conveniently placed for relaxing and exploring the area. We stayed a week and walked to most places, like eating out and jumping on a boat for trips around the harbour and further afield to Swanage. Also on our list, a lovely stroll around Compton Areas, only a short drive away. The weather was hot and sunny, a rarity in UK admittedly so we did more sitting and relaxing in this pretty, little secluded garden.

Homely Location Ideal for Poole & Dorset

Once we had negotiated the one way system around the Town Centre, we were very impressed by the location and facilities provided by 35 Lander Close. The house is not large but everything that we expected was available and it was clean and tidy upon arrival. We did have a problem getting the TV to work via the remote but a call to the owner solved this within 10 minutes. Poole Quay is often closed for events at weekends - our arrival coincided with a Pirate Convention with "look a likes " Capt Jack Sparrow, Long John Silver et hence the difficulty with the one way system but for the rest of the week we did not need the car to explore Poole Town and its attractions. Plenty of places to eat and drink. Unfortunately for mid June the weather was decidedly mixed but we enjoyed visits to Compton Acres ( Private Gardens), Kingston Lacy, Brownsea Island and Studland Bay ( all NT) Swanage and Monkey World all within easy travelling distance. A very enjoyable week`s break.
