A nice hotel in a great setting
Large room, comfy beds, nice bathroom, coffee tea water and snacks in the room, lovely staff, perfect location. Really really cool 500+ year old building, very thoughtful mix of preservation and modern features.
Only one small window in room and it was fully frosted so no view, very little light. It also did not open

Ein schönes Hotel in der Fußgängerzone von Poole, Gerne wieder würden wir in diesem Hotel übernachte
Sehr "uriges" Hotel mitten in der Fußgängerzone von Poole. Man kann vor Ort, Abends, gut Essen oder zu Fuß, in kurzer Zeit, zu einem der vielen anderen Gaststätten oder Pubs in der Nähe. Auch der Hafen ist nicht weit. Das Zimmer wurde vor Kurzem renoviert und ist gut ausgestattet Das Frühstück ist wirklich sehr gut ! Wir haben den ersten Abend dort gegessen und auch die Auswahl ist toll !
Leider konnten wir die Fenster im Zimmer nicht öffnen und die Matratzen waren etwas hart, was leider bei vielen Hotels mittlerweile ein Problem ist. Aber das ist meine persönliche Meinung, da es sicher viele Gäste gibt die gerne ein hartes Bett haben.
