About these Digs

Living with Host

What does this mean?

Refurbished 4 bedroom, 2 bathroom Edwardian house set in the vibrant Ashley Cross area of Lower Parkstone, Poole. Just myself and Dottie my small dog (snoodle - schnauzer cross poodle). Lovely big garden and two patios and hens! Ashley Cross (5 mins walk max and often called ‘The Village’) has many coffee shops, wine bars and pubs, plus quite a few restaurants including Indian, Gurkha and Italian. Less than 10 minutes walk from Parkstone railway station, 10 minutes walk from Poole Harbour and 20 minutes walk through a Victorian park to Poole town centre, Poole Quay and the Lighthouse Theatre.

Parking on drive however sometimes I require access to side gates. Free parking on road directly outside house.

Karen was a great host, a very friendly lady. The house and room is great very comfortable bed and great shower in the bathroom, very easy to get to and from the theatre either by walking or by the local, close by, bus service. Thanks again. Highly recommend!

What delightful digs! The room is very comfortable and Christina is a thoughtful attentive host and her little dog is friendly and adorable. She might even invite you to visit her hens at the bottom of the garden!
