Clean, friendly staff, good breakfast but rooms are on the small side. Locations isn't good for walking anywhere. A good place for 1 or perhaps 2 nights but not longer - we use it as an overnight stay before catching the ferry to France.

Have stayed at this hotel several times over the past few years and always get an excellent service. The hotel is very clean and the breakfast is excellent, one of the best I've had for years. Poole is a great base to explore Dorset and Hampshire.The only downside of the hotel is that as the car park is run by a separate company you have to pay for parking which at £10 per day can mount up
