We very recently stayed at this lovely Guest House and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Yvonne made both of us and our dog (Haggis) very welcome. The place has just undergone some recent redecoration and it all looks new and fresh. Our room was lovely with plenty of space and very clean and comfortable. The en-suite was also immaculate with piping... More

My recent stay at The Mariners Guest House was both welcoming and most accommodating. The room was beautiful and the breakfast top class. The option to work from the dining room during the day was an important and typical example of the owner's persona. For the price, this was just ideal. Look forward to the next time!

I stayed in the Mariners a number of times while in the area with work. The room was clean, spacious with good en-suite and the owner was extremely friendly. Good amenities near by with a number of nice pubs and restaurants a few minutes away. Would highly recommend it and stay there again. Dave, 26 South Wales More

The place was spotlessly clean and was freshly decorated. The breakfast was really yummy , great choice of cereals, fruit etc. and then a good... More

Was recommended to stay in this lovely guesthouse. The new owner Yvonne was very accommodating and friendly (nothing was too much trouble), although she is completely redecorating the guesthouse (to a high standard) the disruption to our stay was minimal. The breakfast was more than sufficient with a choice of fresh fruit,cereal, yoghurts and cooked breakfast which we made the... More

Thanks for taking the time to write a review on the Mariners even though it is airing on the negative side. As you are aware, I only purchased the guest house last July and have been busy during the winter months, trying to revamp and redecorate the place. If I recall, I think I discussed with you my plans and... More

Stayed here numerous times during my trip to my home town of Poole. very friendly and seemed to be all freshly updated with nice furniture/onsuite rooms. Etc. Great location, a minutes walk from the gorgeous Poole Park and only a short walk into Poole Town itself. Have enjoyed my stay and when back in Poole, cant see me going anywhere... More

We received excellent service and Yvonne, our hostess,was most accommodating. Breakfast was a great start to our break and our room was clean and comfortable.Also, it was a treat to have decent-sized mugs for our early morning tea/coffee... More

I live in Poole and had eight people for Christmas so some family members stayed in the Mariners Guest House. The feedback was excellent, so much so that I think the family members on blow-up beds definitely had a bad deal. The owner (Yvonne) was really helpful when I changed the booking at the last minute and my bother and... More
