Independent in Poole

"Very comfortable and suited our needs"

"Could not control temperature, hot water only tepid,tv did not work properly, had to switch on and off by main switch, couldn't change channels with remote so only had access to BBC 1"

"We stayed at Hotel Du Vin in Poole as a treat for my birthday and were hoping for a special experience. The location is great and it was a nice touch that they left two small truffles chocolates in the room for my birthday. However, there were a few disappointing things. The bath still had cleaning product left on it when we arrived, so we had to wait for this to be sorted. We also didn’t sleep well as the pillows went flat quickly and the bed was very firm. The room menu mentioned fresh milk in the fridge, but this apparently stopped after Covid and instead there were small long-life milk pots, which felt a bit underwhelming. Breakfast was also disappointing – the poached eggs were very slimy and no one checked on us during the meal. This isn't the service I'd expect for £24 for breakfast each. When checking out I mentioned everything had only been “fine”, but this didn’t seem to be picked up on by the receptionist. Overall, a lovely location but not quite the experience we expected for a birthday treat."

"From peeling wallpaper to worn out fabrics and cheap pillows … the bathroom was new though … breakfast times were 9:00 to 9:30 😵‍💫 race on for that one … But staff helpful and great location…. But the whole place needs an uplift "

"very clean room nuce and room"

"Fabulous food, wonderful staff, the room was exceptional in taste, style and comfort. Only downside sadly was single glazing and the noisy traffic. But a truly fabulous place with the best staff. Would highly recommend and hope they can get double glazing! "

"Very comfortable, friendly host, fantastic breakfast. "

"Lovely house in a perfect location. Loved the sunset/sunrise and watching the Oystercatchers etc. Great to walk into Poole and also explore the local area. Got the ferry over to Studland and walked to old Harry Rocks. Plenty of places for walking and bird watching. Great host, really quick to respond to messages and send information "

"All as expected and nothing to complain about really. The room was decent size, furnished nicely and the bed was comfy. Bathroom grouting showing bit of wear and mirror starting to deliver at bottom but overall still a tidy impression. The continental breakfast was rather underwhelming but the service with a smile made up for it! The location was super with proximity of the beach and a really good local hostelry offering decent selection of meals and liquid refreshments.A sound 4 star establishment that a bit of money on refurb and breakfast could be a 5 star winner!"
