    The staff at the Plantation always seem genuinely attentive, making for a welcoming atmosphere, and the spacious rooms are certainly comfortable. some elements like the hot room temperature and a few maintenance issues detracted from the overall experience. Still, the dining exceeded expectations with delicious options.

    great amenities

    This hotel suits me perfectly, with great Wi-Fi, a welcoming bar/lounge area, and in-room breakfast. I'll never forget how the staff helped me find my lost barrette on my first stay. I highly recommend it!

    Spacious rooms and delightful service

    I had a wonderful stay with my partner for 1 night. The Double Room was incredibly spacious and beautifully decorated, complemented by a fantastic shower that could easily be described as luxurious. We were impressed by the little touches, like fresh milk for our teas and the delicious breakfast served in bed. The staff made us feel truly welcome with their friendly demeanor. One area for improvement could be the organization of the bar's seating, as it got a bit crowded at times.

    great service but minor comfort issues

    The staff were extremely accommodating and made check-in a breeze. The garden view from our room was a delightful surprise, adding to the relaxing ambiance.

    The bed could have been more comfortable for a better night's sleep.

    breakfast chaos
    flat beer
    unclean tables

    The beautifully decorated room offered an amazing shower I didn't want to leave, complemented by a delightful evening of drinks in the garden. the breakfast experience was chaotic with slow service and unclean tables, while the flat beer at the bar was disappointing. the stay had both charming elements and significant service issues.

    fresh pancakes
    thoughtful touches
    friendly staff
    disappointing suite
    weak wi-fi

    Absolutely loved the endless pancakes and fresh local eats! Plus, the lovely spacious rooms and thoughtful touches, like a welcome note and brownies, made our stay feel extra special. Can't forget the friendly staff who made us feel right at home!

    We booked a suite but got a smaller room than expected, with a view of a noisy generator instead of a garden. The damp ceiling didn’t help either, and the weak Wi-Fi left us without our streaming fix.

    curtain issue

    Absolutely stunning stay!

    I spent one night in a suite, and wow, the room was just fabulous! Great design and super spacious. The bed was comfy with top-notch bedding. Plus, there was a roll-top bath which was a nice touch. Only thing was the curtains were a bit off on one side, but honestly, it didn't ruin the vibe. Enjoyed room service for breakfast too!

    fantastic location
    spacious room
    great breakfast
    weak shower
    cleanliness issues
    outdated decor

    The location of Canford in Poole is fantastic, just a quick walk to the beach. My room was spacious and the bed super comfortable, perfect for a restful night. I appreciated the tea and coffee facilities in the room, made my mornings much nicer. The breakfast was a highlight. quick service and a variety of options really hit the spot. Staff were very friendly and helpful, ensuring I felt welcomed throughout my stay. I found that the bathroom could use some attention. The shower pressure was weak, and the decor felt a bit outdated overall. I noticed some cleanliness issues. the coffee machine seemed neglected and the corridors needed a good vacuuming. Those aspects took away from an otherwise enjoyable visit.

    Absolutely Wonderful Stay

    I thoroughly enjoyed my stay here! The room was beautifully decorated with amazing facilities, including a fantastic shower that made it hard to leave. The atmosphere was lively, and I loved the outdoor seating area for evening drinks, complemented by soft heating and blankets. The breakfast in bed was a highlight, featuring freshly made dishes that set a great tone for the day. it would be nice if they had a bit more variety in the evening menu.
