We occasionally need an overnighter in Poole when catching an early boat and have stayed in a few places, this one's the best so far. It's clean, has up to date decor, the beer and food is good and the staff can't do enough for you. I'd read the review about the outside rooms so asked for an inside one,... More

After the best valentines day we've ever had, mood lighting, atmosphere, food to die for and great service followed up with an amazing room and a bottle of bubbly for the missus! More

The room iwas in was number 1, which was a very spacious room on the side corner of the hotel. three windows, with two of them being lit up like a playground due... More
