Very nice rooms with comfortable beds. Less sterile than the mainstream hotels, although the heating was a bit too high and the front-facing rooms suffer from traffic noise. Breakfast was very tasty; scrambled egg on toast isn't officially on the menu but they are flexible! Be warned that the en-suites contain only showers (no baths). All in all, I'd say this is an excellent place to stop over when catching a ferry the next day,
After a long time away for business means, I booked a nights stay for my girlfriend and I to stay at Blue Shutters. The reviews were very positive and the website made the place feel very professional. The rooms were spacious and modern. Lots of nice toiletries, tea, coffee and clean linen provided. The (free) breakfast options in the morning were great and full English was cooked to order which is a very nice touch. Chief and owner were both very friendly and a pleasure to talk to. Self check-in was a breeze and communication with the owner was brilliant - This put my mind at rest whilst travelling prior to our stay. In general, our stay was excellent and we couldn't recommend stopping here more, wether it's for one person, couples or even families! Definitely going to come back next time we're passing through Poole.
Blue shutters is a lovely clean small hotel, we have been two years running in September and we cannot fault it. Anita and Milly are so lovely and accommodating, the rooms are very clean and fairly spacious, the garden is nice and the breakfast room clean breakfast is good, parking is a bit tight but fine, Ashley Cross, Parkstone are great and Sandbanks Beach in my opinion, rivals any beach anywhere!! For a few days away its brilliant, can't understand any negative reviews thanks again see you soon!!
For just a one night stay, we were pleasantly surprised at the quality of the rooms and furnishings. A very clean, warm and friendly place to stay. Anita, Millie and Chef were very helpful indeed and special thanks goes to them. Breakfast was excellent. Local pubs and restaraunts were a 10 minute easy walk. 15 minutes to the ferry. Thanks again.
