Top Brownsea Castle Hotel Reviews

Bournemouth Highcliff Marriott Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely hotel with great staff. Everyone was friendly and helpful. We stayed in the cottage’s which were better then we expected. They had nice views of the beach, pier and gardens. The swimming pool was a good size, warm and clean. Breakfast was varied and good quality. Room service was excellent and the staff were helpful bringing it in. Only downside was no dressing gowns in our room which would have been helpful to go to the pool but overall a great stay."

Holiday Inn Express Poole by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Great breakfast, can’t complain about the food quality and how it is refreshed regularly, staff very attentive and friendly. Room clean and comfortable. Would stay again if in the area. Only downside is the pedestrian access to leave the hotel and get to the town centre as the pavement ends around the corner and you walk across the road to a cinder path into the bus terminal, it’s like the hotel is isolated from town( a very American feel)."

Haven Hotel

8/10 Good

"The cleaning staff for our room were very efficient, we also had a lovely swan towel arrangement in our room for our anniversary, unfortunately the hotel staff did not remember to have the bubbly waiting in our room that my husband had organised, but they brought it up promptly after my husband reminded them. Our room was a lovely size and a wonderful view from the balcony. The breakfast was very good with lots of variety and I was able to order poached eggs. The evening meal was not so good, our order came late, my potato was cold, the starters were microscopic and on the whole, not good value for the money."

Sandbanks Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Accommodation, food, service, location, excellent."

Laguna Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The friendliness of the staff was very welcoming."

Quayside Quarters

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent location in Poole harbour. Near to many restaurants. We enjoyed the view of the church from our room. Would definitely recommend it to others!"

The Merchant House

10/10 Excellent

"We had a fantastic stay at The Merchant House in Poole and would highly recommend it! This gorgeous Georgian house has been transformed into a stylish boutique B&B, while keeping all of its original charm and character. We loved all the fascinating ornaments, beautiful china and thoughtful little touches throughout the house. It really felt like staying somewhere special. The location is brilliant, with Poole Quay, shops, restaurants, wine bars and historic pubs all within easy walking distance. It was so convenient to leave the car behind and explore. We even took the ferry and steam train to Corfe Castle, which made for a wonderful day out. Our bedroom was lovely — comfortable, cosy and full of character. We particularly loved the little teddy waiting on the bed, ready for a cuddle if required! Such a charming touch. And then there was the breakfast — wow! Huge portions and a fantastic twist on the traditional Full English. Everything was delicious, but the homemade sourdough bread was a real highlight. Fresh, tasty and absolutely delicious! We also have to mention Paul and Bentley the dog, who were the perfect hosts. From the moment we arrived, we felt genuinely welcome and very much at home. Bentley was an added bonus! The Merchant House is a real gem — full of character, perfectly located, wonderfully welcoming and serving an unforgettable breakfast. We loved our stay and will definitely be back!"

Shah of Persia, Poole by Marston's Inns

8/10 Good

"It was exactly what I needed at the time. Place could do with a bit of a refresh and update. Staff were exceptional, really welcoming and helpful."

Anchorage

10/10 Excellent

"The room we had was great for our needs for the long weekend. Easy to access with self check in and out. Loads of info provided about the area for restaurants etc in a book left in the room which was genuinely useful. Jenny was great with providing required info on booking and checking we had that info again before we arrived. We’d definitely stay again if we visit Poole."
