About this property

5 Red Sails is a delightful, terraced property settled into the seaside town of Sandbanks. With off-road parking, this pet-friendly abode is ideal for friends and families looking for a getaway to the coast of Dorset. Park up and make your way to the first floor, which is home to a light and airy open-plan living space. Here there is a well-fitted kitchen with plenty of amenities to cater to your culinary needs, as well as a dining space where guests can tuck into a hearty feast. The sitting area provides a plush space to recline in, with a Smart TV for movie marathons, and there is also a balcony, ideal for enjoying a glass of fizz as the stars appear overhead. On the first floor, you will also find a sleek bathroom for your relaxation. This property is arranged over three floors, and offers two well-presented bedrooms on the ground floor, a double and a twin. Two further bedrooms, both with en-suite shower rooms, rest on the third floor and include a double and a twin. Outside, dine alfresco on the terrace as your pets relax in the sunshine. Sandbanks is a lovely location resting on the coast of Dorset. The town offers a convenience store for your holiday essentials, as well as a bar, Lazy Jacks Restaurant and Bar, where you can enjoy a meal out and a glass of your favourite beverage. Sandbanks also benefits from a beach, where guests can make the most of the watersports facilities available. Poole offers more eateries, pubs, and shops, as well as trips to Brownsea Island, home to Brownsea Castle. Head over to Bournemouth where you will find a golf course where you can try out a game or two, and here you will also find an aquarium and Bournemouth Pier, ideal for enjoying an ice cream in the sunshine. Further afield you will find the picturesque Upton Country Park, and scenic walks through the Cranbourne Chase National Landscape and the New Forest Park. There is something for everyone with a stay at 5 Red Sails.

The town of Poole is dominated by one of the world's biggest natural harbours, which features five pine clad islands and regular boat trips. The largest of these islands is Brownsea Island, where Baden Powell began the Scout Movement. To the west is the 'Isle of Purbeck', which offers visitors scenic countryside, dotted with quaint villages and stunning seascapes, plus Lulworth Cove, Durdle Door and Corfe Castle are well worth a visit. The local beaches at Sandbanks provide excellent facilities for all kinds of watersports. Alternatively, visit the neighbouring family friendly seaside resort of Bournemouth and within driving distance is the fascinating New Forest National Park. An excellent holiday destination at any time of the year.
