    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).

    Poole is a vibrant busy Marina town.

    Poole is a vibrant busy Marina town. The High Street has an interesting variety of shops (including the flagship Lush store). The streets are lean, and felt safe. Parking is well signposted but not cheap. If you have time then make an advance booking for the Harbour, Sandbanks, and Islands Cruise. We’ve done it twice and the commentary is excellent. Entertaining and informative. We strongly recommend the fish and chip shop by the Lifeboat Station. Huge legions of really fresh succulent fish, lovely crisp batter, and a generous portion of chips. There is blue-badge disabled parking directly opposite the Poole Quay Hotel and near the High Street. The town is flat and easy to get around for anyone with limited mobility. We loved Poole and are already planning our next trip in a month. We have no intention of paying £30/night extra to bring our two pampered house cats. For £90 extra for three nights we need to see we are getting something extra - not a standard cold room.

    The Town itself has died with many shops either closed or have become Charity Shops. Far too many Flats being built and being overrun by 'Outsiders' (Not Tourists). We will not return but stay to the West of Poole in the Purbecks and beyond far more tranquil.

    Poole itself is not particularly of interest and is quite small with an old town area and harbour, but is quite a good base to visit other places in the area either by boat trips, by train or by car. It is easily accessible by train from London Waterloo and once there it is also close to other coastal resorts such as Bournemouth and Weymouth.

    Ideal for visiting Brownsea Island but it closes November to March. Check opening times! Easy access to Sandbanks with lovely long walk to Bournemouth. RNLI College Hotel is an experience in itself and cruise trip boats are within a short walk from it. Poole town is very ‘tired’ but a good base to travel around area.

    I nice area, with plenty to do. If you plan to go out in the week check which restaurants are open and / or which pubs serve food. As Poole is on the South Coast, please consider the Weather at the time of year you visit.

    Swift and detailed communication with the host (thanks Jeff!). The caravan was clean and functional. Nice resort, we could enjoy beautiful sunsets on the seaside in just 10minutes walk. The caravan was close to the restaurants and the entretainment area within the resort. Good base to visit part of the Jurassic coast and many natural beauty spots like Durdle door, Lulworth cove, old Harry rocks, Brownsea island, Poole harbour, Swanage, Corfe Castle and more. It was a nice break after the long lock down :)

    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.

    The hotel is beautiful. Amazing location. The staff were absolutely wonderful. The Breakfast selection was outstanding. Our room was very comfortable and the hotel is spotless. Will definitely stay here again. Literally just across the water to stud land bay. Small journey to swanage easily accessible by the hourly tour buses. Poole quay up the road. We had everything really on our door step. I would highly recommend staying here

    Due to my wife’s terminal cancer we,Went for an apartment rather than a hotel room This was the right decision it was warm and comfortable and my wife felt at home it’s a pity the weather wasn’t better. I would thoroughly recommend the apartments to anybody in my family I am going to a wedding next year in POOLE and the apartments will be my first choice to stay.

    We enjoyed a lovely 2 night stay with our dog feeling very welcome. The breakfast was very well organised, lots of options to choose from and delicious and we were really set up for the day.. Great location and nice walk into Poole. Debs and Doug were very hospitable, gave us lots of ideas of places to visit and we will definitely return again.

    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.

    The location was definitely the best thing about the hotel. The staff were also excellent and very friendly . I have visited Poole Harbour for many years but first time I’ve stayed there . Quite expensive for the 4 night stay but again I feel that’s down to location

    Good location near to Poole Quay. The hotel parking is very restricted so it’s better to park at a Quay car park - £10.20 online for overnight stay. Room was sizeable and bed comfortable. Staff very friendly and welcoming and the breakfast was very good
