The staff were very friendly and offered to print out our document for us to work with during the stay. The room was big and comfortable and clean, with working table. Dinner and breakfast were delicious and friendly priced, staff in restaurants were very helpful and friendly too. A lot to learn from the history and works from RNLI and we were glad to buy some lovely souvenirs from the shop. Free parking on the spot made it very convenient.

All staff were delightful - very welcoming, helpful and efficient. Beautiful, grand building and great location at the foot of Corfe Castle. We enjoyed inventive fine dining in the restaurant (at fine dining prices, of course) both evenings...flavours and presentation were superb. Our room and en suite bathroom were impeccably clean with none of the shabbiness that is often a feature of older hotels.

We only ate a continental breakfast for just under £20 each which is a bit steep and full cooked breakfast is £24 also expensive. The dining room is very nice, plenty of staff which probably explains the cost. The hotel is in what appears to be a very nice conservation area on a quiet street. Our room was very spacious and the bed was extremely comfortable with crisp cotton sheets and I’m sure a feather pillow - very unusual but very welcome. By the way Booking.com I’m not from America as you keep saying, I’m English.

Sandbanks

The water of Sandbanks Beach is shallow and perfect for paddling! Parents can feel comfortable in the knowledge that lifeguards patrol here the entire summer. Up on the promenade you’ll find a crazy golf course, children’s amusements and a selection of shops and cafés. You’re also able to hire out a beach hut and make use of well-maintained shower facilities.

    Very beautiful unfortunately I didn't go sightseeing this time as I was playing Chess for a week.I have been to Poole before and thought it was great. Good place to go for a holiday as many places to visit but the Holiday Season is the best time to visit.

    I really liked the location of the place. It was easy to get to the railway station, and I enjoyed a walk to the Quay. The bus station to Sandbanks was also within walking distance. The room was spacious for one person, and I had an excellent night's sleep on a comfortable bed.

    Everything. The apartment was so modern and felt brand new. It had all cleaning facilities too. Smart tvs and even an Xbox for the kids! The kitchen was amazing. Lots or utensils and everything you needed. Breakfast on the balcony with the sun shining was an added bonus! It is really close to supermarkets and under 10 min drive to Poole Harbour. Sandbanks beach is also only 10 mins away in the car. We did not want to leave. Quay Lettings are super helpful too. We will use them again 💯

    This was a great find, in a fabulous location on the quay, so plenty of bars and lovely restaurants on the doorstep. Ideal for Sandbanks Polo and exploring the local area which was the reason for our visit. Our room (no.1) was lovely, with beautiful decor and a great shower. Friendly and informative emails received from the owner prior to arrival.

What guests said about Sandbanks:

  • being one of the largest natural harbours in the world,...

    being one of the largest natural harbours in the world, Poole offers varied habitats for migrating birds and its waters shelter a wide range of fish and other sea creatures. Sandbanks and Studland bay mark the beginning of the Jurassic coastline heading west with its varied geology and flora and fauna. The coast walks are a delight with something to see round every corner as well as the wonder of the panoramic views from the high ridges.
