The room was beautiful, had the best stocked mini & snack bar, and all of the staff were very friendly and helpful. A enjoyable stay - but the rooms are kept very cool and it took some time to heat and regulate an older building in the cold weather.

Large room with a bath tub in the bedroom, though a separate bathroom with shower and double sink. Nice decor that could do with a bit of freshening up.

A very enjoyable stay, the room was beautifuly decorated with plenty of space. Bed was comfortable. Breakfast was very good. Had a meal in the restaurant first evening which was very enjoyable. Great outdoor and indoor space to have a drink. Poole is a lovely area and we thought this hotel was very good value.
