Seemed short of staff that limited the facilities available. Bars unopened slow service at reception card readers not working. No opportunity to extend checking out time. Original pet room given to an earlier arrival so had to use first floor and not ground floor with a blind small dog even though I telephoned the day before arrival to confirm booking and pet details.

Okay but Room for Improvement
Based on the room we were in, they desperately need updating, and I haven’t seen a curtain rail like that since my nan was alive! You could feel the springs in the mattress and the pillows were really thin. The bath was so badly stained it was disgusting. However, on the plus side, the staff were very friendly and professional and the restaurant/bar was lovely, with views from the restaurant over the harbour. We only had breakfast here so can’t comment on what it’s like in the evening but would certainly try it if we were to stay here again. And it’s dog friendly - our lovely waitress gave our cocker spaniel a bowl of kibble and biscuits!

The Hotel is in an excellent position on Poole Quay. But the management of the Hotel have let the Hotel fabric and surroundings deteriorate considerably. There are 2 large weeds growing out of the front door. There are weeds and litter all around the Hotel. It looks as if the Management do not care about presentation of the Hotel. The evening security is very strange. It does not cost much to keep a property tidy and clean of Litter. The Hotel looks a disgrace and so sad as it was one of the best Hotels in Dorset in its day.
