Room was clean bed comfortable and the staff were excellent nothing too much trouble- breakfast plentiful and evening menu great especially the seafood
The receptionist upon arrival was lovely and our room was amazing, staff had even kindly created towel swans and scattered red rose petals on the bed for us as we recently got engaged. We loved the view and enjoyed a cream tea before going out in the evening.
Beautiful view from our room (304), which was clean and comfortable. Excellent breakfast in the morning.

Really nice stay. Room very comfortable, great view, lovely bathroom with spa bath, healthy breakfast. We weren't impressed by the dinner menu on offer so went elsewhere. The hotel has fab views but I found it to be a bit drafty in the restaurant and lounge areas
Lovely friendly atmosphere, the staff were very cheerful and helpful. Room spacious and view heavenly

Dated room but good breakfast
Room itself was a bit dated but breakfast was really nice and made to order with a view of Poole harbour. Location is 9 minutes walk from the beach but you can’t really see it unless you’re in the dining room or specific rooms I believe
The view is just sublime. The room was delightful. The service was mixed. We did think at one point we were wearing a cloak of invisibility. And we felt like replying when someone asked,”Any allergies,”
“Yes, slow service.”
The food was excellent and we heard one gentleman say he had eaten scrambled eggs all over the world but the ones at The Harbour Heights were the finest.
We enjoyed a 2 night stay to visit family. Our room had a stunning view across Poole Bay. We ate in both restaurants and were happy with the food quality and especially with the attentiveness of the staff.
Nice hotel. Great location. Building is old so felt a little cold in some areas. But all understandable. Whirlpool bath was a nice surprise. Will visit again.
Friendly welcome with great service, great views over Poole harbour. Bathrooms a bit tired, but certainly clean, and walls quite thin so noise travels.
Great place, fabulous views, lovely room and the italian girl on reception couldn't do enough for you, has a fantastic personality, great customer service skills and deserves a pay rise😁.

Very good location between Studland, Sandbanks, Poole and Bournemouth.
The hotel though is tired, with outdated room furniture and decorations and missing modern conveniences like USB sockets.
Bar v expensive, breakfast ok (granola bars great), slow service.
Excellent views from the terrace
Good location in Canford Cliffs. Nice terrace and bar. Room nice but a tiny bit old fashioned, as was the hotel. Breakfast pleasant. Really not much to fault but not wow either. Would probably stay again so no complaints.
