More information

The Outspan is a characterful, 1930’s detached home set in the heart of the prestigious Sandbanks Peninsula. The house retains many of its original features including wooden floors, panelling and the wonderful fireplace housing a cosy woodburning stove. Now lovingly restored and updated by the current owners, the rooms are light, bright and spacious and the decor reflects the age of the property and the colours of the surrounding seascapes.

This lovely home is just a few minutes walk from the Blue Flag beaches that Sandbanks is famous for and an array of cafes and restaurants including Rick Steins and Rockwater and Poole harbour is also just a short stroll away, this popular spot for watersports attracts visitors and locals alike. Try a spot of kite surfing or hire paddleboards or kayaks and set out for a day of adventure on the water.

Also within walking distance are the Sandbanks chain ferry and the Brownsea Island ferry. Take a trip across to Studland and explore the rural countryside of the Isle of Purbeck ,home to the village of Corfe Castle, Lulworth Cove and Durdle Door on the stunning Jurassic Coast or sail over to Brownsea National Trust site where you may get a glimpse of the elusive red squirrels that inhabit the island.

The local area

With a blue-flag beach, beautiful natural harbour and within 3 and a half hours drive from London and the Midlands, Sandbanks offers a spectacular beach holiday destination that ticks all of the boxes.

Having earned a reputation as the UK’s answer to Palm Springs, Sandbanks is a small peninsula of land that juts out into Poole Harbour. The golden stretch of Sandbanks Beach runs the length of the peninsula and beyond, offering safe areas for swimming, barbecues and a beautiful spot to watch the sun rise and fall.

A holiday in Sandbanks offers something for everyone with endless coastal walks, interesting day trips, great restaurants and lovely safe beaches for both kids, dogs and grown-ups to play.

If water sports are your thing, then both the harbour side and bay provide a playground for sailors, paddle boarders and boat enthusiasts. The legendary Shell Bay chain ferry clunks and creaks between the tip of Sandbanks and Studland across the bay, offering visitors the chance to day trip over to the Isle of Purbeck with its famous beaches, world heritage coastline and nature reserve.

The National Trust owned Brownsea Island rests in the middle of Poole Harbour and is well worth an explore for its unique wildlife, heathland and lagoon.

Whatever your reason for visiting Sandbanks, you’ll find plenty to keep you entertained in this beautiful corner of Dorset.
