A Peaceful Setting Within the Gardens
Set along a winding path past the architectural planting and koi ponds of the Japanese Garden, The Summer House is a beautiful character cottage with all the space, privacy and stunning views you’d need for a relaxing break.
Inside, the property opens into a bright, open-plan living space with a vaulted ceiling and full glass elevation. A large wraparound balcony extends from the main living area, with elevated views across oak and pine canopies towards the waters of Poole Harbour.

Space to Relax in Comfort
The house is designed for comfort and flexibility, with space to unwind, dine and spend time together. Each bedroom has a calm, restful feel, and the principal bedroom includes an en suite bathroom. Guests staying at The Summer House can enjoy unlimited access to Compton Acres gardens during opening hours, along with convenient access to the Café and Tea Rooms for breakfast and lunch. Compton Acres also offers two gift shops, a well-stocked Plant Centre and The Italian Pantry, giving guests plenty to explore on site during their stay.
Bookings for The Summer House are managed by Rumsey of Sandbanks, with current availability, rates and booking information provided through their listing.

Beyond the gardens, the surrounding area offers excellent options for days out. Parkstone Golf Club is close by and widely recognised as one of the South Coast’s finest courses. Sandbanks, Canford Cliffs, Lilliput and Westbourne are all nearby, with a variety of shops, restaurants and cafés to discover.
