“A good family hotel”

The hotel was very full large conference and wedding parties being catered for. The room we had was large but was one of the few without a balcony. We thought the furniture looked a little tired but was quite adequate. The seal on one of the windows was no longer working and the window was misty. Hot water took a long time to come through. The service was poor on our first night and we were given a glass of wine to compensate. The service was much better on the second night. The food was good but not great. The position on the hotel is excellent - the back of the hotel is situated next to the beach, the front overlooks Poole Harbour. It has facilities for children and an indoor pool. We thought the decor in the restaurant could be improved and certainly in our bedroom. However we had an enjoyable stay and would consider staying at the Sandbanks Hotel again in spite of the fact that it was a little expensive.
