3nights Stay
Loved the leisure centre, breakfast was okay nothing stands out. Hotel is outdated but well maintained. Rooms could do a bit more storage, we had to keep some of our clothes in the luggage. Close to bus stand going to Bournemouth and beach. Staff friendly and helpful.

A little mid-week break
Just a few days away, lovely hotel on a fantastic location. Room was really nice and spacious, the only thing that let it down was the water pressure (or lack of) so having showers was pretty useless.
Made use of the pools etc which were heated so even when the weather was not great, managed to get some swim time in.
Would definitely go back.

Nice hotel in a prime location on the entrance of Poole harbour. It’s a little old fashioned and some areas feel like they’ve added to the building but not really thought about it like the access to spa is through the dining room. Rooms are nice but shower wasn’t very powerful. Food was good with really nice breakfast. Good for a short stay or weekend break

Lovely location.
Booked a deluxe double room which was very small. The bathroom needs attention and is in much need of an update.
