Top Scaplen’s Court Museum Hotel Reviews

Laguna Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"I really liked the vibe of Laguna hotel and would stay there again. I feel like the hospitality is from another era. If you don't mind walking a bit, there is a nice park that stretches all the way to the beach without too much walking along streets and so it was nice to have a long weekend with nice strolls instead of running up the uber bill. Walkable for restaurants as well."

Holiday Inn Express Poole by IHG

8/10 Good

"Good venue for walking into Poole. Bus station nearby. Rooms clean, bed comfortsble"

Harbour Heights Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely hotel where you can see wonderful sunsets from the dining area. All the staff are friendly everywhere is clean. Our bedroom was large with a very comfy bed."

Bournemouth Highcliff Marriott Hotel

8/10 Good

"This was our second visit to this hotel. We really love the location, the breakfast buffet, and the friendly and helpful staff. Parking is a challenge, we were out all day everyday and when we returned the hotel parking lot was usually completely full. We were only able to park onsite 3 out 7 nights. The breakfast buffet is excellent and the staff were top notch. Everyone but one lady was very kind and welcoming."

Bournemouth West Cliff Hotel & Spa

8/10 Good

"The room was clean, the bed was comfortable and I slept well. There was no shaver socket in the bathroom, no body lotion and no facial tissues. The radiator heating was not on, but for a single night it was tolerable. Had I been staying longer I would have requested a fan heater for this North-facing room."

Antelope Hotel by Greene King Inns

10/10 Excellent

"Very convenient location"

The Merchant House

8/10 Good

"Kind and friendly owner/host. Lovely old house with original artworks, minutes from the quay."

Shah of Persia, Poole by Marston's Inns

8/10 Good

"OK room - no air con but understandable give the age of the building. Bed was OK, but traffic noise is noticeable, especially with the window open (remember there is no air con), so not the best nights' sleep. Staff were fantastic though, especially the breakfast server and the breakfast itself was great."

Poole Rockley Park Dorset

10/10 Excellent

"Really loved it clean owner was very nice to"
