The staff were friendly and helpful. the food was excellent and the location was good. a short walk from the beach and a bus right outside the hotel to Sandbanks and to Poole.
The shower wasn't great, but acceptable.

Great location. Very clean and beautiful room with comfy bed.
My only criticism is that the thermostats were set far too high for our room and bathroom making them uncomfortable. We were able to reduce it via the thermostats, but these were overridden by the next morning.

Fantastic location, pub and restaurant
Our room was a disabled room which we had not requested, apparently still a boutique room but not good for us, also no kettle just a coffee maker.

The room was wonderful. We were given an upgrade to room #1 and were delighted. The room was spacious, beautifully decorated and very comfortable.
Good location for walks on the beach.
We didn’t eat at the hotel as we were seeing friends for dinner and breakfast hence we can’t comment on the restaurant.
The staff were friendly and welcoming.

Convenient for the ferry. Large room, comfortable bed.
It was an accessible room with a low sink etc. it was also a “dog friendly “ room and smelled slightly of dog. A fire alarm at 0100am was annoying and no night manager came out to tell us if it was genuine or not. We had to get dressed, go outside and figure it ourselves.

We really loved our stay here. Our room was beautifully decorated and had so many nice touches. Our bed was comfy the bath under the bay window was special. The amenities and the room provisions were comprehensive and top notch. The location was excellent, quiet and close to the beach. We definitely would stay here again.

The room was spacious and comfortable. The hotel is in a good location for visiting Sandbanks and Poole.
We had to change our room on arrival as we were put in an accessible room at the back of the hotel. Breakfast could be improved with a bit more attention to detail.
Downstairs is in need of some renovation and tlc.

Sleeping, the bed was so comfortable and the room was luxurious
I missed the simple menu, and was looking forward to the heritage salad and soup, food although cooked well, I missed the old menu, which had a greater variety of lighter bites, no specials either ......

The hotel is in a nice location. However I booked the suite and it was cold. They had left 4 windows slightly ajar which took me about 2 hours to realise but room remained fairly cold. Had fish and chip dinner and wouldn’t recommend. It appeared to me that the fish and the chips had been recooked from earlier but I didn’t complain as I was hungry after 300 miles of driving. Breakfast was fine and staff are good.

Very welcoming. Quirky, unique bedrooms. Fabulous food. Staff couldn't have been more helpful. Great garden for the summer. Really unusual mini bar and treats.
Different check in times quoted in different places online.
Our room didn't have coffee pods!
And despite having paid for the room on arrival, the system didn't have a record of it at checkout.
BUT... the staff were brilliant and sorted everything.

The attention to detail in the room was just amazing. We were so impressed by the styling and quality of everything. The mini bar situation was fab too, and nice to have as an option! It really did all feel like such a treat!
