“I found this property to be a truly well-appointed base, a stone's throw from the bustling quayside and its array of pubs and restaurants. Rooms, like Rm4, struck me as scrupulously clean and thoughtfully equipped with modern comforts, making for a remarkably comfortable stay. It's the kind of place I'd revisit when next in Poole.”
