With its chi-chi, cocktail-shaking bars and restaurants, period facades, and green spaces, it's easy to see the appeal of Ashley Cross – one of Poole's most desirable neighbourhoods just an eleven-minute drive from the millionaire's row of Sandbanks. Discover the hype for yourself with a stay at this luxurious, high-style apartment located right in its well-heeled heart. You're just a two-minute jaunt across the green to the cosmopolitan high street and a smidge further to Poole Park's boating lake for watersports action (a twenty-minute walk). And when it's time to explore further afield, the sandy shores of Sandbanks, Bournemouth, and historic Poole Quay are all under a fifteen-minute drive away. Now, how's that for a location? Back at home, bathed in natural daylight thanks to the vast bay windows, this bolthole is a joy to return home to whatever the season. Cook up a feast in the sociable, made-for-action kitchen – there are plenty of goodies to start you off in the welcome hamper or swing by the deli on the corner to pick up supplies. Then crash out with movie nights on the highly-sinkable sofas before it's time to bank some beauty sleep in those king-sized beds.

About Poole
The coastal town of Poole is home to Europe's largest natural harbour. Wander around the historic quayside with its impressive ships and luxury powerboats, or admire the Georgian architecture in the Old Town. In the middle of Poole Harbour, tiny Brownsea Island, famous for Lord Baden-Powell's scout camps, contains paths that meander through beautiful woods and heaths, where you'll see red deer, peacocks and red squirrels. Make sure you stop...
