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

Summer Breeze on the Beach
In the same vein as its sister event, Summer Breeze on the Quay, Summer Breeze on the Beach presents a host of free entertainment at Sandbanks Beach every Thursday during the month of August. Each evening ends with a fireworks display.
Grand Firework Display

Poole's Waterfront Museum traces 2000 years of the town's history. Permanent displays include a typical street scene, details of the Roman occupation, trade with Newfoundland, Poole Pottery, ship models and the Studland Bay Wreck.
