Breakfast was more than adequate for continental. Good proximity to the beach and amenities.
With scenic views across Poole Harbour, this hotel offers boutique rooms, Asian Ocean Palace and The Amalfi View Restaurants and stylish cocktail bar. Poole Ferry Terminal is 15 minutes away by car.

Staying on Poole Quay was great.
Staying on Poole Quay was great. A lovely stroll along the waterfront with views to Brownsea Island. You can take a boat trip around the Harbour, alighting at Brownsea as one of the destinations. Poole Quay has cafes, bars, good restaurants, very good fish and chips from a quayside hut. It's a short stroll to Poole Old Town with its shops and further along to main Poole Shopping Centre. Very good local transport links to Bournemouth and suburbs. Infact easy to get anywhere like Swanage, Weymouth, Salisbury etc.

A historic, well maintained town with many of the facilities you would expect to find in a modern day town.
The harbour was an attractive place to visit with many businesses there to serve visitors whilst Poole Park was well worth the visit.

It’s a lovely location.
It’s a lovely location. Lots of really nice places to eat out and plenty of good shops. We didn’t venture too far away, but I would definitely recommend a trip to Brownsea Island. We also visited Sandbanks, Wareham and Corfe Castle, all very close by.

We looked around the harbour and went on a boat trip of the harm=bour and sandbanks which was very interesting. We were due to go the the speedway but this was cancelled due to the weather which was disappointing but the speedway was really easy to find and there looked like there would be ample parking. We also spent time in Bournemouth.
We ate at the Quay café where we had breakfast it was fab

Lovely resort, lots to see and do.
Lovely resort, lots to see and do. Harbour boat trip was well worth it as was to Jurassic Coast cruise. Lots of varied mealtime opportunities as well as the usual fish and chips. Plenty of traditional pubs on offer. I highly recommend a visit to the RNLI college and All Weather Lifeboat Centre where all the lifeboats are made, you can even stay there.

Excellent location for either staying within the area or travelling to interesting places within Dorset. Great local facilities within a short walk for dining,recreation and shopping. Would recommend El Rancho and Da Vinci for food and perhaps the Poole Arms for a quiet, friendly drink. The Jurassic Coast boat trip is one not to be missed with its visit round Old Harry Rocks to Swanage. Buses provide a great service but there are plenty of parking areas available. A day trip to Kingston Lacey (National Trust) was exceptional.
Have had to stay 4 times in the last 6 weeks due to having family commitments in Poole. Can’t fault the hotel at all on any visit.,Great location, friendly staff, good n all departments, great value. Yes a little dated but it’s clean and has everything you need. Great buffet breakfast. On-site parking so hassle free. Had a car park view but that’s what we chose, you can pay a little extra for a sea view but when you can walk/sit by the harbour when you walk straight out the hotel why bother.
Beautiful hotel and room. Hotel is in a quiet mainly residential area of town. The host Chris and all the staff at breakfast where friendly and helpful. Chris was available if needed also. Lovely continental breakfast. I didn’t have time to fully appreciate the location but I would say it almost perfect if you came for a short break or holiday because it is so close to the promenade and sea and I should imagine lovely walks to Bournemouth or Sandbanks and Poole.
The overall feel of this B&B was that it just seemed to be a home from home and Christina and Martyn couldn’t have been more welcoming. The breakfast was excellent ++ and Apps B&B is certainly the place to stay if you are in Poole. Christina apologized for the sound of the very heavy rain on the roof of our family room but I thought this proved to be a very relaxing experience and should be used as a selling point.
I expect a "boutique" hotel to offer something a litle special.
Clearly, Covid has been a struggle for 2 years and you can do little about access through an old building. The carpets are looking very tired in places; the paintwork, though practical, makes progress through the narrow passageways uninviting and the lack of directions to "Reception" on leaving the room took us to the fire exit.
A pleasant spacious apartment which was very convenient for exploring the surrounding area. A comfortable walk to the beach and with buses to Bournemouth, Poole and Swanage nearby meant we had no need to use the car whilst we were at the property. A thoroughly enjoyable stay at Fair winds.
Sarah's cottage was perfect... just what we needed for a long awaited break.
The property met ALL our requirements !
Very clean all round... the beds and bedding were of above average quality and very comfortable.
It was within easy reach of shops and Poole Quay.
Hope to visit again
Easy parking and great staff, there was a little hick-up on arrival and the way the staff sorted the very minor problem was second to none. Great room! I can’t recommend staying here more it will be go to Poole hotel from now on. Breakfast was spot on too.
This was my second visit to the Poole branch of IHG Hotel's although I have stayed in a few other's, the beds were comfortable, room was clean and a great choice for breakfast at the buffet , also the hotel is centrally located .
The views from the bedroom were stunning. The staff were attentive and friendly. The breakfast was amazing. You can use the facilities at the Sandbanks Hotel and Haven hotel too. All it all a wonderful hotel.
Really nice comfortable, clean hotel with friendly, helpful staff and a real bonus is allowing pets to stay.
Nice location right near Poole Quay and town centre, we would not hesitate to stay here again.
We asked for an early breakfast, which was supplied. The hotel was clean and well styled. Rooms were very comfortable and we were made to feel welcome. I would stay here again if travelling via Poole
Our sea view was perfect from our room and the hotel was right on the beach. Poole and Bournemouth was a walk away. We used the e-scooters which was so much fun.
