Shah of Persia, Poole by Marston's Inns
Lovely meal in the evening. Friendly warm staff. Only thing I’d say is ask for a room at the hotels rear as road was quite noisy

Hampton by Hilton Bournemouth
Staff were excellent, good facilities very clean. We experienced no noise from other guests and slept well. One thing i would suggest is that, there should be two towel hooks in the bathroom's. The one in our room wasn't sufficient.
