Frequently Asked Questions

Staying Over?

How long should you stay in Dorset?

As locals we love our slice of the South Coast and we just know you will too. We think a stay of two nights is pretty perfect. A little less? You’ll have a great time (we promise), but there’s just so much to see and do in and around Dorset that you’ll wish you had an extra night with us. Staying for longer? We’ll give you all the hints and tips to make sure Poole props the top of your coastal break hitlist, time and time again.

What are the best things to do in Dorset?

There’s so much from our lovely little base.

From nearby Canford Cliffs beach, to blue-flag Sandbanks (just a short beach-y stroll away). Take a leafy wander through Compton Acres or sail over to Brownsea Island. Another firm-favourite is a day trip to Swanage on the Sandbanks Ferry.

We love to share our personal recommendations, so feel free to ask us when you’re here. We’re a friendly bunch.

What time is check-in and check-out?

Check-in is from 3pm. If you arrive early and your room isn’t quite ready, there’s plenty of space in ourgorgeous pub to relax, have a bite to eat or a little tipple. Arriving early and want to head out? No problem, we’ll hold on to your bags until you’re back. Check-out is by 11am.

What time is breakfast?

Brekkie is served from 8am daily. If your room rate doesn’t include breakfast but you can’t quite resist, fear not, walk-ins are very welcome.

Do you have any family-friendly bedrooms?

Our Boutique and Feature Boutique rooms are family-friendly. There’s have space for cots for little ones and some have fold out beds for bigger little ones. Kids under 2 stay for free. 2-16 are £15 per night.

Can I bring my dog to stay?

Yes, we love furry four-legged friends just as much as humans.

Our Boutique, Bigger Boutique, and Feature Boutique rooms are all dog-friendly.

Just add your dog to your booking (up to two doggo’s can stay with you for £15 per night), and we’ll make sure they get a VIP welcome with a super-comfy doggy bed, blanket and tasty tail-wagging treats.
