Great location, less than 30 seconds to the quay. Room had everything you'd expect from a b&b. Fabulous breakfast, there was even an option of standard or large size! Would stay again if we're in the area. Friendly, welcoming host.

Georgian house now boutique hotel. Very welcoming owner/manager, who's furnished it with interesting art and other historic items. Good fresh full English breakfast. Short walk to harbour sea-front and to High Street shops.

The property is in a perfect location to explore Poole and sail over to Brown Sea Island. The owner was such a lovely gentleman who made you feel very welcome and provided an exceptional breakfast. The room however was really only fit for a single person as the small double was against the window wall so when you needed to get out of bed you had to wake up your partner in order to get out of the bed which obviously disturbs sleep and the bed was quite soft also. The room itself was tiny too but clean with a nice little bathroom and tea coffee making facilities, even disposable eye masks and ear plugs. For one night I would recommend as lovely little place as you can put up with the tiny room and disturbed sleep but wouldn’t want more than that, which is unfortunate as host just lovely, location perfect and breakfast amazing.

David is a very special host And a stay at The Merchant House is a rather special experience. You are a step away from the quayside and from restaurants etc

David was an excellent host and the veggie breakfast that he cooked to order could not be faulted. His homemade bread is delicious. Our room was cosy, but had everything we needed. Good powerful shower :) Great location for eating along the quayside. David's restaurant recommendations were spot on.

This is a unique and characterful place to stay, close to Poole Quay. David is super friendly and helpful. He is a font of knowledge on the attractions in the area. Excellent and very filling breakfast in a lovely dining area and you get to meet Bentley too.

The place was really dirty the host was ok but our room had so much dust and dirt you could have set up an allotment in the room, the bed well there is nothing good about that, the mattress was as old as the building and the springs have gone, awful nights sleep, if we hadn’t been stay just for the night we wouldn’t have stayed,
