‘The Branksome Retreat’ – Branksome Park, Poole

Reviews

• We have had a wonderful, relaxing family break at Silver Trees! As soon as we drove up the long private driveway we felt completely secluded, whilst being in a superb location, close to the beaches & great pubs and restaurants. The property is beautifully decorated, modern and all on one level which was ideal for our parents. Four of the bedrooms are en-suite which meant weren’t all trying to share bathrooms when getting ready. We loved the open plan kitchen and dining area with bi-fold doors onto the garden, we had wonderful weather and really made the most of the BBQ. The garden is absolutely stunning, it feels so tranquil and quiet. The pool was fantastic for the children to play in (with a safety cover for peace of mind!) and a current to swim against so the adults could swim properly too! Lots of outdoor seat areas for eating, relaxing, sun bathing or being in the shade meant that everyone ones needs were catered for. Thanks Harbour Escapes, we will definitely be back!

• We stayed at this beautiful house for a family break over Easter and it was just incredible. We were a large family with multi generations, children and babies and everyone had the best time. The kids ran around the large garden and the swimming pool was heated so everyone had a dip. Checking in was easy and there was a welcome pack with wine and cookies - very thoughtful and gratefully received after a journey. The beach is just up the road so we had plenty to occupy us. The house itself is well equipped for everything we needed for a comfortable and luxurious stay, immaculately clean with plenty of toys for the kids, a well stocked kitchen with lots of seating and super comfortable beds. We really loved it and are making plans to return for the summer!!

• The Branksome retreat is a beautiful house situated in a lovely part of the country where there is plenty to do - we were able to walk down to the beach at Branksome Chine in just a few minutes. We have stayed in a few luxury holiday homes over the last few years and this was the best by a country mile. The living area was ideal for a large group- with so much space to spread out. There were plenty of facilities to keep the family entertained; super games room and gym , cinema room, play room! We also booked a hot tub as the swimming pool is shut for the winter months, which was great. Harbour escapes looked after everything during our stay and were incredibly responsive. We couldn’t recommend this house highly enough and will certainly be returning in the summer to take advantage of all the facilities the house has to offer!
