"We loved our stay on the boat from start to finish. We had great weather so great views from the hot tub out over the water. Comfy beds and the luxury shower block was clean and had nice showers. The boat is a short drive or 30/40 min walk into Poole (40 as we waited to cross the bridge and watch the ships sail by) I hope to have the opportunity to stay there again. "

"Location is brilliant for getting to so many places. The hotel is clean and the staff really helpful. The size of the room was a bit of a shock. I booked a superior single room; it is the smallest hotel room I have ever been in."
