Thistle Poole hotel, Dorset

The ancient port of Poole is a friendly, easy-going town, with its traditional Quay still very much at its heart. And that’s where you’ll find Thistle Poole, one of the few hotels in Poole quayside.

A contemporary hotel in Poole Quay, overlooking the Harbour

At Thistle Poole hotel in Dorset, we have 70 bedrooms, most of them with sea views, and two meeting rooms, the largest seating up to 180 people theatre-style. We have ample on-site parking available for a small additional charge – a real bonus in this popular seaside town.

Poole is one of the world’s largest natural harbours. Dotted with islands, including Brownsea, famous as the birthplace of the Scouting movement, it’s perfect for watersports and a haven for wildlife. And while seafaring folk are spoiled for choice, there’s a wealth of options on dry land too, with the Purbeck hills and glorious Dorset countryside inland from Poole just waiting to be explored.

Thistle Poole at a glance:
• Right on Poole Quay, with panoramic views over Poole Harbour
• 70 bedrooms, plus two function rooms
• The majority of rooms have a sofa which can also be used as a sofa bed for children
• Ample on-site parking available
