Room was clean and warm, but I was disappointed at the response to my gluten free requirements e.g I waited a long time for two slices of gf toast and was only told after I finished eating that I could have had a gluten free sausage.

We had a nice one-night stay at this well-kept hotel. Everything was clean, attractive and well-maintained. Staff was friendly and helpful. Our room was clean, had a roomy bathroom, comfortable bed and everything as expected. The breakfast was good, with several choices. We have no complaints and recommend this as a good choice in Poole. It is within walking distance of the train station.

We were visiting the tank museum at Bovington and needed a stopover after a 200m drive and this was perfect for us. The staff were pleasant and efficient, there is a bar on site for refreshments and the room was clean, comfortable and equipped with a fully functioning air conditioning system. Breakfast was included in the price and there is everything you would expect on offer and was perfect for starting the day on. We would be very happy to return to the hotel and probably will in the future.
