"Really great room with a relaxed pub below in a really nice location close to the beach. The staff were absolutely incredible, so welcoming and helpful and really made you feel like a valued guest from the second you walked in the door to the time we left. Breakfast had a good variety and was excellent quality. Would highly recommend this place"

"As for cleaning the curtains could be refreshed more often.
Close to the beach and even though there was no air con, the room was nice and cosy.
Ours had recently redone bathroom and we had iron , ironing board and hairdryer, which is not standard in mire expensive places. Breakfast was freshly cooked to order.
Only downside was that the room window was pointing to kitchen hood exhaust pipe so on one evening we came back to room filled with smell of cooking oil. It would help if extractor fan in the bathroom worked
Anyway we enjoyed the stay and will be coming back."
"The view of the harbour is why you stay here and it doesn’t disappoint- just stunning. Locals and visitors flock to the outside terrace to enjoy a cocktail overlooking the harbour. We ate at the restaurant and both food and drinks were good but our dinner order was misplaced so we waited 75 minutes between starter and main. As an apology we weren’t charged. The room looked a bit tired and in need of a refurb but it was clean and the bed was comfy. We also had a view of the harbour (free upgrade). Staff was friendly but service is a bit chaotic - the staff lack set routines and need some training. The breakfast was tasty."
"We had a fantastic stay at The Merchant House in Poole and would highly recommend it!
This gorgeous Georgian house has been transformed into a stylish boutique B&B, while keeping all of its original charm and character. We loved all the fascinating ornaments, beautiful china and thoughtful little touches throughout the house. It really felt like staying somewhere special.
The location is brilliant, with Poole Quay, shops, restaurants, wine bars and historic pubs all within easy walking distance. It was so convenient to leave the car behind and explore. We even took the ferry and steam train to Corfe Castle, which made for a wonderful day out.
Our bedroom was lovely — comfortable, cosy and full of character. We particularly loved the little teddy waiting on the bed, ready for a cuddle if required! Such a charming touch.
And then there was the breakfast — wow! Huge portions and a fantastic twist on the traditional Full English. Everything was delicious, but the homemade sourdough bread was a real highlight. Fresh, tasty and absolutely delicious!
We also have to mention Paul and Bentley the dog, who were the perfect hosts. From the moment we arrived, we felt genuinely welcome and very much at home. Bentley was an added bonus!
The Merchant House is a real gem — full of character, perfectly located, wonderfully welcoming and serving an unforgettable breakfast.
We loved our stay and will definitely be back!"
"The room we had was great for our needs for the long weekend. Easy to access with self check in and out. Loads of info provided about the area for restaurants etc in a book left in the room which was genuinely useful.
Jenny was great with providing required info on booking and checking we had that info again before we arrived.
We’d definitely stay again if we visit Poole."
