Self check-in

Check yourself in with the keypad.
This house has a style all of it’s own, our family home for 25 years, we hope you’ll love it. It’s grand, stylish, quirky and fun. The retro cinema with 85-inch TV, Sky and Sonos Arc will blow you away. 3 floors, 2 stairs cases, a priest hole for the best games of hide and seek. Relax and soothe your body and soul in our gazebo and waterfall hot tub. No ‘open house’ parties allowed but a perfect place for special occasions and gatherings for our house guests and mature hen parties are welcome.

The space
Our home is luxurious, spacious and fun. The grand dining hall is perfect to stage a special occasion, the table seats 15 comfortably and converts to a pool and snooker table.
We are happy to host mature hen parties, the large cosy lounge with inglenook open fire and 55 inch TV, a games room with a full size table football and shelves full of board games and books will all keep you entertained and then there’s the retro cinema room and a hot tub still to explore.

Guest access
The whole house, front lawn and terrace.

Other things to note
The Old Rectory comfortably accommodates 15 guests, in 7 spacious bedrooms. By prior arrangement we can accommodate guests with mobility issues on the ground floor. There is a sofa-bed in the games room which can be used as a double bed if requested and there is a ground floor bathroom. With the sofa bed used the house can physically sleep up to 17 people but we feel it is best suited to a maximum of 15 if all adults to enable the full enjoyment of sitting around the splendid dining table and having full use of the games room at all times. The 7 seater waterfall hot tub is available to use from 10am to 10pm.

Neighbourhood highlights

The house is ideally located for a relaxed and level walk to Poole Quay with its many restaurants, shops and bars. Hamworthy park and beach is a 7 min walk as is the local Coop open 7-11. We have Chinese, Indian and the best fish and chips, All-Ways Fryday, all within easy walking distance. The open top Jurassic Explorer bus passes the end of the road and you can cycle around the backwaters of the harbour on a Beryl bike from the end of the road or outside of the coop.

Lives in Poole, United Kingdom
Hi I’m Sherrill, my husband Martin, our 5 children, 2 dogs, and 2 cats have loved living in The Old Rectory, it has been our family home for over 27 years. The children have flown the nest and we are planning our retirement, downsizing is a big part of the plan as we look forward to our own Gap Year. We have a narrowboat and enjoy life in the slow lane. For now I work in property and teach meditation. Martin runs a law firm and does legal stuff!
