Poole, England hotel rooms at the Independent

"Lovely hotel in a prime position. View from the room was beautiful. We had a sea view and could see the sun rise from our bed. Breakfast in the restaurant was very nice with plenty of choice. We used the restaurant in the hotel which was an Italian. Although a little pricey, it was very nice. Room was cleaned daily and tea/coffee and biscuits replenished daily. We didn’t use the pool as it opened at 9:00 and we wanted an earlier swim. We were offered use of their sister hotel but didn’t use that. Not far from attractions such as Compton Acres and Poole Harbour for the ferry to Brownsea. All staff were friendly. I’d highly recommend and would definitely visit again. "

"Fantastic hotel, close to the chain ferry and bus services, beauitful sea veiws, on the beach amazing spa and out door heated pool, fantastic service, cant fault it, what a gem, also dog friendly "

"Very nice stay looked after very well by every one"

"Small friendly traditional hotel with perfect hospitality."

"I would not recommend this place to stay, old property and with need of renovating, no air conditioning, no toilet fan extraction, very hot room... sorry to say but as a franchise i believe they could do more for the price they are charging...."
