I can only imagine what this place used to be. The views are breathtaking but the hotel has certainly seen better days. Very tired and dirty! Food was appalling so give that a miss. We sent both dishes, from the very dire menu, back as it was not edible. The rooms was dated, tired and dirty. The restaurant and veranda look over to the most amazing views but was somewhat dampened down by the dirty windows. Manager seemed to not enjoy being there, which I feel was adding to the problem. I can imagine him not motivating staff or leading. His own trousers were filthy! Such a shame as this could be such a gem!

Dated room but good breakfast

Room itself was a bit dated but breakfast was really nice and made to order with a view of Poole harbour. Location is 9 minutes walk from the beach but you can’t really see it unless you’re in the dining room or specific rooms I believe
