"A lovely hotel on the seafront. It is situated a few minutes walk from a sandy beach. There are buses that stop outside the hotel and go to Poole. No immediate parking but there is car park 5 minutes walk away for £6 a day. There are gardens with plenty of seating. There is a pool which is an extra £5 a day but towels are included. Breakfast was extensive but basic. All staff were very friendly. There is entertainment every evening and there is a large comfortable bar area."

"A nice hotel, very clean and Friendly staff. Breakfast was ok, a little limited and food ran out fast without being refilled. The rooms were comfortable however asked twice for extra pillows and nothing turned up. Also bulbs in lamps not working. Batteries in remote for tv not working. Swimming pool and steam room was amazing. Perfect location close to everything."

"No AC on third floor so in this heat it was hot throughout the stay, fans were provided but doesn’t match AC. Male receptionist was lovely and very helpful. We had an issue with maintenance in our room- but this was unresolved and not followed up on. We couldn’t wait in the room all day for someone else to show up as it was so hot. In general nice hotel in good location- 8 min walk to beach and 10 min walk to town centre for restaurants. Parking had enough spaces and the area where hotel is located is quiet. Pool is smaller than pictured and had swim lessons going on so half was occupied- but weather was so nice we went to the beach anyways."
