"Excellent "

"Ideally situated 5 mins from bus centre and about 10 mins from beach. Cosy lounge area with bar and food. Small selection but we enjoyed the curry. Room clean with lots of toiletries. Good selection for breakfast. Staff pleasant."

"Lovely and friendly "

"We stayed at Hotel Du Vin in Poole as a treat for my birthday and were hoping for a special experience. The location is great and it was a nice touch that they left two small truffles chocolates in the room for my birthday. However, there were a few disappointing things. The bath still had cleaning product left on it when we arrived, so we had to wait for this to be sorted. We also didn’t sleep well as the pillows went flat quickly and the bed was very firm. The room menu mentioned fresh milk in the fridge, but this apparently stopped after Covid and instead there were small long-life milk pots, which felt a bit underwhelming. Breakfast was also disappointing – the poached eggs were very slimy and no one checked on us during the meal. This isn't the service I'd expect for £24 for breakfast each. When checking out I mentioned everything had only been “fine”, but this didn’t seem to be picked up on by the receptionist. Overall, a lovely location but not quite the experience we expected for a birthday treat."

"The cottage rooms are lovely and spacious with a nice sea view. "

"Rooms well prepared and cosy, good layout, great affordable breakfast and helpful staff always seems to be someone to get a hold of if need be. "

"Nice pool "

"Spotlessly clean room, excellent service from the room attendant Alison, also the handyman Alex was hugely helpful, doling out extra tea , coffee & milk on departure day. The chap on reception kindly allowed my friend to stay with me for the second night & was chatty & helpful, arranging taxis etc. Late check out was appreciated too, of course without extra fee! Yes, the hotel could use a lick of paint on the exterior, however the interior is very good, just needs a couple of scatter cushions to brighten the room up! Bottled water was shown in pics, yet not supplied, however when mentioned, i was given two complimentarybottles by Alison, i cannot praise her attentiveness enough. Excellent sea views, and i do like a bath and a shower, which my room had. Great experience, would stay again."

"The room was clean, although the bathroom was on the small size. Didn’t use the swimming pool as It was too busy for the time we wanted to go. The car didn’t have much selection of beers on tap, but most Hotels don’t for some reason."
