"We decided to try something new instead of hotel so booked the yacht. Great experience. Marina and boat were lovely. Lots of restaurants and easy to walk around and explore. Steve and Miros went over and above to make sure our stay was great and even picked us up from cruise port and drove us to airport hotel the next day. Would highly recommend . "

"We loved our stay on the boat from start to finish. We had great weather so great views from the hot tub out over the water. Comfy beds and the luxury shower block was clean and had nice showers. The boat is a short drive or 30/40 min walk into Poole (40 as we waited to cross the bridge and watch the ships sail by) I hope to have the opportunity to stay there again. "

4/10 Poor
"Had to ask for towels a couple of times. Two days without body wash. Housekeeping never answered the phone. Lamp didn’t work. We informed front desk and the two ladies at the front desk informed us to call 0 and then they can connect us to housekeeping. Why have a housekeeping button on the phone that rings and rings. How we we suppose to know. The bed was not changed for awhile week"
