Anniversary weekend away

My husband and I visited for an anniversary celebration. The accommodation was perfect for us and a great location on the harbour. The owner was very helpful with regards to parking and letting us know the room was ready for an early check in. We will definitely be returning in the future.

Great Place To Stay In Poole

The Anchorage is a great place to stay. It's a few steps away from the quayside and is well served by restaurants and pubs. Our room, Rm4, was extremely clean and well equipped with a fridge, coffee and tea making facilities, hair dryer, soft towels and quality bed linen. We will definitely rebook if we come to Poole again.

Nice property, very clean and great location. Pay attention to the welcome package, you’ll really struggle to get large cases up the small staircase, I struggled with a back pack and a pannier from my bike. But don’t let that put you off. Also have to prearrange motorbike drop off so follow the instructions. There was something in the package about paid parking nearby. Really nice place, comfortable room and bed. Nice bathroom. Just off the main quay side. With a pub next door also!

Lovely room, convenient location.

We had a lovely stay, and Jenny was very helpful and engaged when we got there, ensuring we knew about local parking options, etc. The room was lovely and comfortable, and very convenient to the Quay, shops and restaurants. We were going to Brownsea Island, and it was only a 5 minute walk to the ferry (and back).

A lovely room. Nice and light, very comfortable and spotlessly clean. Quiet too and ideal for getting to the harbour for an early ferry.
