Lovely room. Clean and comfortable.
A lovely room. Nice and light, very comfortable and spotlessly clean. Quiet too and ideal for getting to the harbour for an early ferry.

Clean and comfort room but noisy at night
The room is clean, comfort and well decorated. I was impressed by the introduction the owner made for tourist to understand the town Poole and nearby restaurants & places; however, it is very noisy at night until midnight at weekend because the property is next to a pub.

A great place to stay for the ferry terminal. The room was immaculately clean, communication with the owners was seamless and we got a great night's sleep. Highly recommended.

Lovely room, convenient location.
We had a lovely stay, and Jenny was very helpful and engaged when we got there, ensuring we knew about local parking options, etc. The room was lovely and comfortable, and very convenient to the Quay, shops and restaurants. We were going to Brownsea Island, and it was only a 5 minute walk to the ferry (and back).

Lovely place, lovely lady
I was very pleasantly surprised with this stay. The building is located a few meters from Poole quay which means there’s so much to do right on the doorstep. It’s also easy to come back for quick showers when you get hot. The building felt very secure and safe and the room was very clean. The lady in charge is very lovely and always helps with any query you may have. It was an amazing holiday and it helped having somewhere lovely to stay. We even bumped into the cleaner at one point and stopped and had a lovely chat with her. Everyone we came across was very nice. I would definitely recommend.
