Breakfast was great, and the staff were friendly and helpful, but the hotel is very tired and in major need of an overhaul to the rooms. It's incredibly expensive for the standard that it is. The location made it worthwhile at least.

A historic, well maintained town with many of the facilities you would expect to find in a modern day town.
The harbour was an attractive place to visit with many businesses there to serve visitors whilst Poole Park was well worth the visit.

It’s a lovely location.
It’s a lovely location. Lots of really nice places to eat out and plenty of good shops. We didn’t venture too far away, but I would definitely recommend a trip to Brownsea Island. We also visited Sandbanks, Wareham and Corfe Castle, all very close by.

We looked around the harbour and went on a boat trip of the harm=bour and sandbanks which was very interesting. We were due to go the the speedway but this was cancelled due to the weather which was disappointing but the speedway was really easy to find and there looked like there would be ample parking. We also spent time in Bournemouth.
We ate at the Quay café where we had breakfast it was fab

Lovely resort, lots to see and do.
Lovely resort, lots to see and do. Harbour boat trip was well worth it as was to Jurassic Coast cruise. Lots of varied mealtime opportunities as well as the usual fish and chips. Plenty of traditional pubs on offer. I highly recommend a visit to the RNLI college and All Weather Lifeboat Centre where all the lifeboats are made, you can even stay there.

Excellent location for either staying within the area or travelling to interesting places within Dorset. Great local facilities within a short walk for dining,recreation and shopping. Would recommend El Rancho and Da Vinci for food and perhaps the Poole Arms for a quiet, friendly drink. The Jurassic Coast boat trip is one not to be missed with its visit round Old Harry Rocks to Swanage. Buses provide a great service but there are plenty of parking areas available. A day trip to Kingston Lacey (National Trust) was exceptional.

Unfortunately the weather wasn't our friend so we didn't see much of Poole. We did drive 15 mins to Durley Chine where we parked for walk into Bournemouth. We also took a trip to Hengisbury Head (25 min drive).
Beautiful hotel and room. Hotel is in a quiet mainly residential area of town. The host Chris and all the staff at breakfast where friendly and helpful. Chris was available if needed also. Lovely continental breakfast. I didn’t have time to fully appreciate the location but I would say it almost perfect if you came for a short break or holiday because it is so close to the promenade and sea and I should imagine lovely walks to Bournemouth or Sandbanks and Poole.
There was a warm welcome at the Rose and Crown. Large room, feels more like a boutique hotel. Large bed with great linen. Excellent powerful shower. Complimentary fresh milk and water were nice.
Good quality pub food in the restaurant. Was busy for a Tuesday evening when we stayed and there was a good atmosphere. Heather and Marcus kindly let us have breakfast slightly earlier as we had a ferry to catch. Would definitely return. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
Location was superb, just a short walk from Poole Quay. Juliet Balcony overlooking Hamsworthy Bay and a working marina. Apartment was very clean, well appointed and "Home from Home" giving you comfort with personal space and far better than just a hotel room. For January the weather was very kind that we could have breakfast on the balcony watching the sea and the world go by. Probablly one of our most favourite breaks.
Great location in sandbanks, Poole. Right on the beach and you can go from the warm outdoor pool and hot jacuzzi, out on to the beach via the Gate, poolside. You have a view of the sea from the sauna, steam room and jacuzzi, not many hotels can boast that. Breakfast included in room and was good quality. Stylish hotel and modern decor in restaurant. Friendly hotel receptionists and pool staff.
The inclusive breakfast was amazing! We didn’t think drinks were part of it but everything was a help-yourself situation - we had a long journey ahead and that meal prepared us! Staff were friendly and the room was clean and comfy. Completely worth the price and would happily return, thanks Amali in the Poole hotel for making us feel welcome at the front desk! 😊
It is a comfortable room with friendly hosts. The location is close to Poole Park so a nice place to walk is right there. There are several places to get food close at hand. It’s also not a far walk from the shopping center and high street. It was perfect for my purposes! And I loved having a tiny towel warmer in my bathroom!
Lovely caravan. Everything you need for a great stay. Very clean, comfy beds and excellent location. Plenty of room for our family of four. Brilliant communication with the owners.
Well looked after caravan. We'd recommend to anyone looking for somewhere to stay in Poole and we'll book again next time we are in the area.
Sarah's cottage was perfect... just what we needed for a long awaited break.
The property met ALL our requirements !
Very clean all round... the beds and bedding were of above average quality and very comfortable.
It was within easy reach of shops and Poole Quay.
Hope to visit again
Great hotel, situated between Bournemouth and Poole. Friendly and helpful staff. Very good breakfast. Room clean and comfortable.
Parking on site (always a bonus).
Within walking distance of a good restaurant/pub (2 min walk)- Inn in the Park (certainly recommend)
Lovely room. Excellent situation of hotel near Poole Harbour. We ate breakfast outside as the weather was warm which was lovely. We also dined in the restaurant which had a good variety of options on the menus with attentive service
The meals at the hotel were excellent, generous portions and very tasty. The hotel location was on a bus route with a speedy service to Poole centre and Bournemouth. The staff were excellent, polite, professional and efficient.
Easy walking distance to Poole quay and amenities. Lovely apartment, very clean and welcoming with little touches like wine in the fridge, tasty biscuits and everything a kitchen might need. A perfect base for a few days away.
Great location for accessing Poole Quay with its bars and restaurants and the surrounding areas using public transport. Nice that the hotel reserved me a room in front of the TV so that I could watch the football!
Very helpful staff; I needed an early breakfast in order to check in for the ferry. I also really appreciated a hotel that had its own bus stop; this should be advertised more. Nice to be on the harbour front.
Staff were really friendly and accommodating. Breakfast was lovely and good size. Really good location, 10 minute walk to bus station whilst also being around the corner from Poole quay.
Superb breakfast with lots of choice. Excellent room and facilities. Ideal location. Friendly and efficient staff. Overall has to be recommended as a hotel choice in Poole.
Very well located with an extremely comfortable bed, great shower and an exceptionally welcoming and host. I will definitely return if I need somewhere to stay in Poole again.
