We had a nice one-night stay at this well-kept hotel. Everything was clean, attractive and well-maintained. Staff was friendly and helpful. Our room was clean, had a roomy bathroom, comfortable bed and everything as expected. The breakfast was good, with several choices. We have no complaints and recommend this as a good choice in Poole. It is within walking distance of the train station.

We were visiting the tank museum at Bovington and needed a stopover after a 200m drive and this was perfect for us. The staff were pleasant and efficient, there is a bar on site for refreshments and the room was clean, comfortable and equipped with a fully functioning air conditioning system. Breakfast was included in the price and there is everything you would expect on offer and was perfect for starting the day on. We would be very happy to return to the hotel and probably will in the future.

The best service I have had at any hotel decently at breakfast and dinner. Staff were always on hand to help and nothing seemed too much to ask for. A few items were off the menu but the menu was big enough to have another choice and the staff were at hand to help.
