The Thistle Poole Hotel takes up a privileged position looking out at this seaside town’s harbour from its address on the historic quayside. The sea air visitors breathe in when stepping outside the venue’s front door is complemented by the sea views visible from a number of areas of the hotel. Despite not being the most glamorous-looking hotel in the world, the Thistle’s location at the heart of this popular Dorset town goes some way to making up for this. The hotel is fairly easy to reach from the town centre, with ideal positioning on the seafront, and the train station is less than a mile away. Furthermore, the hotel provides a good base from which to explore the surrounding countryside. The likes of the Purbeck Hills are a mere stone’s throw from Poole. Poole is to be found a few miles to the west of Bournemouth, while other notable nearby destinations include the birthplace of the Scouts and Guides movement, Brownsea Island, and the 1,000 year old ruins of Corfe Castle.

Poole’s Thistle Hotel is a sister to a whole host of other destinations from the same group across the UK. Other such venues in the south include those at Exeter, Bristol and further along the coast at Brighton. The Thistle at Poole is fairly small with just 70 guest bedrooms. Some of the rooms look out over the harbour, but each is designed with physical comfort in mind and wireless internet access is available throughout. The hotel features an award-winning restaurant, thanks to its top quality fish dishes. There is also a bar offering a great chance to relax and unwind, as well as the Marina Terrace. The Harbour View Restaurant can also be used for meetings and events, and is in fact the hotel’s largest conference venue. There is also a second, medium-sized conferencing suite, and a choice of breakout areas. The rooms can be used for a number of different activities including wedding celebrations, interviews and conferences.
