The Merchant House

10/10 Excellent
"We had a fantastic stay at The Merchant House in Poole and would highly recommend it! This gorgeous Georgian house has been transformed into a stylish boutique B&B, while keeping all of its original charm and character. We loved all the fascinating ornaments, beautiful china and thoughtful little touches throughout the house. It really felt like staying somewhere special. The location is brilliant, with Poole Quay, shops, restaurants, wine bars and historic pubs all within easy walking distance. It was so convenient to leave the car behind and explore. We even took the ferry and steam train to Corfe Castle, which made for a wonderful day out. Our bedroom was lovely โ€” comfortable, cosy and full of character. We particularly loved the little teddy waiting on the bed, ready for a cuddle if required! Such a charming touch. And then there was the breakfast โ€” wow! Huge portions and a fantastic twist on the traditional Full English. Everything was delicious, but the homemade sourdough bread was a real highlight. Fresh, tasty and absolutely delicious! We also have to mention Paul and Bentley the dog, who were the perfect hosts. From the moment we arrived, we felt genuinely welcome and very much at home. Bentley was an added bonus! The Merchant House is a real gem โ€” full of character, perfectly located, wonderfully welcoming and serving an unforgettable breakfast. We loved our stay and will definitely be back!"
