Private Island Self-Catering Cottages with Moorings in Poole Harbour

Staying on a private island in Poole Harbour feels a world away from the everyday, yet getting here couldn’t be easier. Our three self-catering cottages are open from Easter through to October and offer a rare combination of seclusion, comfort and flexible access – whether you arrive by our private launch or by your own boat.

For guests who have a sailing boat or motor cruiser, our self-catering cottages with moorings offer something truly special. Subject to prior arrangement, guests are welcome to bring their own boat and make use of our two swinging moorings or island pier.

Arriving under your own steam and stepping straight ashore is a unique experience that very few holiday cottages in Poole Harbour can offer.

The pier allows for straightforward loading and unloading, making it simple to come and go during your holiday. Having your boat moored just moments from your cottage gives you the freedom to explore Poole Harbour at your own pace, from quiet anchorages and nature reserves to the wider Dorset coastline.

Choosing self-catering accommodation with moorings means your boat becomes part of the holiday rather than something left behind in a marina. You can spend your days sailing, cruising or simply enjoying life on the water, before returning to the peace and privacy of the island each evening. There’s no rush, no crowds – just relaxed island living.

Each of our self-catering cottages is fully equipped for comfortable stays, with everything you need to unwind and enjoy your time away. Whether you arrive by our launch or moor your own boat alongside, all guests enjoy the same sense of tranquillity, space and connection with the harbour.

Guests do not need to own a boat to enjoy a stay with us. We provide a private launch service from the Poole mainland, ensuring a smooth and relaxed arrival for all cottage guests. The short crossing is often a highlight in itself, offering beautiful views across the harbour and a sense of leaving the busy world behind.

If you’re looking for self-catering cottages in Poole Harbour that offer both private launch access and moorings for your own boat, our island provides a truly rare opportunity. No boat is required – but if you have one, you’re very welcome to bring it along. Simply contact us in advance to discuss mooring availability and arrangements.
