    Very close to Poole ferry terminal, really interesting Naval inspired interior (as you may expect), facilities were clean and comfortable. Exactly what you want from an overnight stay and I'd be interested to come back and try some of the RNLI...

    The room was comfortable. The view was wonderful. Breakfast was good with all the food of a high quality although the sausages were too spicy for my taste. The staff were polite and helpful.

    Location was great and the breakfast was nearly perfect, muesli on the menu would have made it perfect. Room and views were all good-a fan in the bathroom would have helped.
