The room size was very good and terrace overlooking the sea was great ##### Rafiq Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Pam 12 Oct 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities This hotel is located in an amazing location with Poole Harbour to one side and the sea to the other, both accessible from the hotel. The staff are polite and professional. The housekeeping is impressive. Although the building is looking a little tired, the ambience, staff members and service make up for it. Breakfast is as expected with variety on offer to cater to most dietary requirements. The dining/eating area could be made a little more attractive as the layout seems rather formal. However, the friendliness of the staff makes up for this. I’d definitely stay again. ##### Pam Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Demetrakis James 29 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service We Loved the hotel it was clean tidy and very nice i think complimentary water in the room was missing whilst the hotel we lovely i do feel it looked very tired bur 100% we will go back ##### Demetrakis James Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Janice 31 May 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Weekend by the sea Super spot by the beach and very helpful friendly staff.

We booked the large sea view double rooms , these are located on the 1st & 2nd with a full frontal view of the sea . The rooms were spacious and beds very comfortable.

Will definitely recommend and will re visit . ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/51811019-92bb-47f4-bd96-3e00406554fe-1750012950672.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/98dac0a8-76df-47bd-ab8a-3dad99817f29-1750012948921.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/fb729b3c-1fd8-422c-9927-07cdd99efb51-1750012948838.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Lena Stayed 1 night in Jun 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Keith 29 May 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities Great location with great staff, but could do with a refit, it felt very 70’s/80’s ##### Keith Stayed 1 night in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Katie 12 Jun 2025 Liked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities Yes this hotel is a bit dated but we didn’t care about that.
