Perfect for Poole Quay

Perfect location right near the quay but still quiet at night, even with the pub next door- couldn't hear a thing even though they had live music. Great bathroom lighting for doing your makeup - something many places don't have. (It's often like doing your makeup in a coal mine!) plug sockets at both sides of the bed `(three pin and USB!) Bed very comfortable and a fan for if you're too hot. Decent sized mini fridge as well. Host Jenny was very helpful, and there is a dossier in the room with dozens of places to eat and visit. Highly recommend!

Great location, felt very welcome!

Great communications considering it was an on the day booking. Jenny went above and beyond to ensure we was accommodated as a family. We travelled with a portable cot, kettle in room and small fridge. Spacey, clean, tidy and cool. The street could be nosy if you have the front windows open but once closed it's quiet. Would stay again and already recommend a family member to stay! Also great location!

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.

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).
