Tarrant Crawford Hotels

"Booked sea view room and was not disappointed. Well proportioned clean room with fridge. Pleased to see two chairs in the room (stays in other hotels have one) so we could sit and watch the sea and relax. Shout out to Maggie who checked us in who was excellent. Was impressed whilst waiting to check in with other reception staff who kept their cool whilst obviously having to deal with difficult guests. Keeping their smiles was impressive. Did not eat at hotel but did at Harry Rock which was excellent plus the Thai restaurant around the corner from the hotel which was also very good. Would definitely stay again off season. Thank you for a great stay."

"Yes but costs"

"Excellent "

"Ideally situated 5 mins from bus centre and about 10 mins from beach. Cosy lounge area with bar and food. Small selection but we enjoyed the curry. Room clean with lots of toiletries. Good selection for breakfast. Staff pleasant."

"Lovely and friendly "

"Fantastic service as always, staff very accommodating and the room was beautiful. Will be staying again!"

"We stayed at Hotel Du Vin in Poole as a treat for my birthday and were hoping for a special experience. The location is great and it was a nice touch that they left two small truffles chocolates in the room for my birthday. However, there were a few disappointing things. The bath still had cleaning product left on it when we arrived, so we had to wait for this to be sorted. We also didn’t sleep well as the pillows went flat quickly and the bed was very firm. The room menu mentioned fresh milk in the fridge, but this apparently stopped after Covid and instead there were small long-life milk pots, which felt a bit underwhelming. Breakfast was also disappointing – the poached eggs were very slimy and no one checked on us during the meal. This isn't the service I'd expect for £24 for breakfast each. When checking out I mentioned everything had only been “fine”, but this didn’t seem to be picked up on by the receptionist. Overall, a lovely location but not quite the experience we expected for a birthday treat."

"The gym and pool facilities are great and really made our visit. Room was comfortable and the bathroom newly refurbished. 10 min walk into town which made everything convenient. Would stay again."

"Rooms well prepared and cosy, good layout, great affordable breakfast and helpful staff always seems to be someone to get a hold of if need be. "
