8/10 Very good

Where the hotel was situated was lovely with access to the private beach. The staff were a little slow and unattentive. The pool has a bar but for beer you have to walk to other end of the hotel which is very odd. Nice and clean and breakfast i cannot fault, would stay again.

Hermione, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Overall, more good than bad.

Nice hotel with great facilities. Outdoor pool is warm and sauna / steam rooms were decent. However, I expected more of a view from a 'premium room' (picture attached). Annoyingly, the leisure centre (roof in picture) made an annoying humming throughout the night. Check-in was probably the fastest I've ever encountered and all staff with the exception of one miserable bar worker were absolutely excellent. Leisure staff were partcularly excellent. Breakfast was very nice and dining has great views out to sea.

Pleasant; Location is Excellent

We had a pleasant stay at the Haven; the room was quiet and all the staff were friendly and helpful. The location is great for the ferry and a short drive to Poole and Bournemouth.

Beautiful location but maybe 2star quality

Beautifully located but extremely dated hotel. The room felt like a nursing home. There was zero water pressure in the shower. The breakfast was quite poor. Everything felt cheap and dated

Hot breakfast needs heat

It was 5 star apart from the breakfast hot food bar does not keep food hot enough. Cold eggs are not nice , apart from the temperature of hot food I cannot fault the breakfast. Fabulous array of hot (tepid) and cold food.

Hotel nice but very tired, not good value for money in the condition it is in On our first day of arrival, we had an issue with safe not working and the telephone lead was broken, after several times of reporting this, no repairs were carried out

Break away with husband

We had a balcony room, overlooking the sea and harbour , view and location was excellent, hotel very tired , could be magnificent, and obviously as been in the past , staff very hit and miss, reception staff was lovely, restaurant staff was lacking , was going to have dinner one night in the hotel , so stood waiting to be seated , staff did acknowledge we was there , but kept us waiting that long we ended up eating out , I would understand, if they had been very busy ,but they really wasn’t.i also don’t understand there dress code , very shabby, faded jeans , track suit bottoms t shirts not a very professional look for staff , and that carried through with there lack of service, menu could have been a lot better, Pool and spa staff was lovely , outside drinks bar was added bonus

Christopher, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

It’s a lovely art deco style hotel in a great location. Lovely and light and airy with high ceilings and wide stairways and corridors. Access to a sandy beach and views to Knoll beach and Shell Bay on Purbeck. Right next to the chain ferry which is brilliant and gives you quick easy access to the above and Studland. We had a lovely room but it was on the third floor with no lift access to the third floor and a really long walk to get to it. It was also very hot with no air con. I had to ask for a fan and lighter bedding, which was delivered to the room. The staff were lovely and really helpful. Would recommend a stay here.
