The hotel was conveniently located, with easy access to Poole city centre, the quay, and transportation to Brownsea Island. The cleanliness of the rooms and facilities was exceptional, and the hotel provided ample parking for guests. The breakfast provided was a pleasant surprise, with a variety of options including cereals, toast, and beverages. The staff were friendly and helpful, striking the perfect balance between being present and not intrusive.

Can't fault the property in any way.

None.

Cranborne House in Poole was a great find! The hotel was spotlessly clean and had excellent facilities. The location was perfect, with easy access to the city centre, the quay for boat trips to Brownsea Island, and plenty of restaurants and pubs nearby. The staff were friendly and the breakfast provided was delicious. I would definitely stay here again in the future.
