Top Scaplen’s Court Museum Hotel Reviews

Holiday Inn Express Poole by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"This was only a one night stay but it was great - good room with quiet air conditioning, helpful staff at 11.00 p.m. check-in, and well cooked breakfast with plenty of choice. Can thoroughly recommend this hotel."

Vitamin Sea - Sun Terrace Overlooking Poole Quay

10/10 Excellent

"We had a fantastic stay at this apartment. It was spotlessly clean, very comfortable, and in a brilliant location—just a short walk from plenty of restaurants and pubs. The parking was easy and convenient, which made the whole trip smoother. The highlight, though, was the excellent balcony with a great view. A perfect spot to relax. Highly recommended."

Galician Shore - With Free Parking

10/10 Excellent

"The location of the condo was fantastic. Close to the water, shops and restaurants. It was very clean and perfect for our needs. My only small critique would be that they only provide 2 rolls of toilet paper for our week stay with 3 people and we were expected to purchase more. To me, toilet paper should be a basic staple included in your stay. Again, this is just one small critique. Overall, our stay was great and I would definitely recommend it."
