Thistle Poole is situated on the Quayside and overlooks one of England's largest natural harbours. Thistle Poole is also within easy reach of the vibrant town as well as being a great base for exploring Dorsets vast and varying countryside. The hotel has 70 bedrooms, the majority of which have sea views.

Thistle Poole has definitely found the recipe for success. Not only has the hotel's restaurant The Harbour View, launched a fresh fish bar, it has been awarded one AA Rosette. The restaurant which overlooks the Quayside, already features fish heavily on the menu, but now customers can choose exactly which sea-fresh fish they would like straight from the counter.
