Anniversary weekend away

My husband and I visited for an anniversary celebration. The accommodation was perfect for us and a great location on the harbour. The owner was very helpful with regards to parking and letting us know the room was ready for an early check in. We will definitely be returning in the future.

Great Place To Stay In Poole

The Anchorage is a great place to stay. It's a few steps away from the quayside and is well served by restaurants and pubs. Our room, Rm4, was extremely clean and well equipped with a fridge, coffee and tea making facilities, hair dryer, soft towels and quality bed linen. We will definitely rebook if we come to Poole again.

Lovely room, convenient location.

We had a lovely stay, and Jenny was very helpful and engaged when we got there, ensuring we knew about local parking options, etc. The room was lovely and comfortable, and very convenient to the Quay, shops and restaurants. We were going to Brownsea Island, and it was only a 5 minute walk to the ferry (and back).

This property was in an excellent location check In was good and we had no problems with that at all it was all very plain sailing car parking was a bit expensive as we stayed for 2 nights and it cost £26.00 we had booked a double room which was ok but a bit small and not a lot of privacy if the blinds are up no soap dish in shower and no full length mirror also telly had a bad signal all In all a good stay but would definatly opt for a bigger room next time

Great location, felt very welcome!

Great communications considering it was an on the day booking. Jenny went above and beyond to ensure we was accommodated as a family. We travelled with a portable cot, kettle in room and small fridge. Spacey, clean, tidy and cool. The street could be nosy if you have the front windows open but once closed it's quiet. Would stay again and already recommend a family member to stay! Also great location!
