Very friendly

Stayed in May 2024

Only the mattress because of our aging backs. Personally we would have preferred a firm or memory foam mattress for better support instead of the soft mattress, but no doubt it would suit other guests quite well.

The hosts were excellent and went out of their way to make us very welcome. The breakfast was also excellent, with items bought especially for our difficult gluten and dairy-free diets. The en-suite shower room was spotless, and hot water plentiful.

Our room and the bathroom were very small.

The service and breakfast

Stayed in September 2023

There was little not to like. Our room was a little small and the shower room too, but it was quite adequate for a short stay.

The accommodation was clean and comfortable. Breakfast was served in a lovely dining room and was delicious. Every thought had been given to make guests comfortable and welcome. From the location we were able to walk to a choice of eating places.

My room and bathroom were small. It felt a little claustrophobic. I like space, a very personal thing. It was a single room in reality not a double

Mike was very friendly and helpful, location was quiet and perfect for Poole Ferry

Location was great and Mike and Allison were the perfect hosts. Mike gave us some great tips on the local area and was very friendly. The room was great and just what we needed for the one night.

Could not fault anything., keep up the good work.

Mike and Alison are really helpful and went out of their way to tell us about the area and places to go to. They are really enthusiastic about what they do and our stay could not have been better because of them. We will definitely come back again and would of course recommend this establishment to others. All the staff are very professional and made our stay perfect. Brilliant.

The walk to pub was a bit disappointing but there are lovely ones you can drive to

Clean, interesting things to see. Excellent breakfast. Informative and engaging host.

We had a room without a shower, which we didn’t realise when we booked it. Managed to have a bath but will check availability of shower in future.

Beautiful house and garden. Very clean and very good facilities.

Breakfast was excellent Location great

Lovely quiet location, with parking for several cars on drive, a peaceful well-through immaculate home which is both comfortable (think soft carpet underfoot and hallway lights on dimmer) as well as having some tasteful but discreet wow factors (think double-height feature window and lawn pinpoint lighting, reminiscent of a charming starry night). Yes, the bed was soft enough but supportive, 2 pillows provided for each, the bedlinen clean, plenty of storage space. Yes, the breakfast had a wide range including full English with egg options including the excellent poached eggs. Yes, the administrative arrangements were perfect and hosts friendly, helpful and knowledgeable (offering information on nearby places to visit in case of interest). A feature is the carefully curated and restored eclectic mix of vintage (or older) items in the dining room and the wall pictures, adding unobtrusive interest and character. Large quiet, mature, well-kept garden and seats and tables perfect for sipping coffee in the sunshine or reading. This booking is very good value for money. Were we happy with our stay, and would we be happy to return? A resounding 'yes' and 'yes' again.

Nothing to complain about

Friendly welcome and some useful tips were given. Full English breakfast was excellent. Trip was for a 60th birthday party so the location was ideal as only a 10 min walk.

We have come to Heatherdene House on several occasions now. Everything from the Art Deco styling theme to the great breakfasts have kept us coming back.

Mike was extremely welcoming and helpful. We had a very early departure and he made us a packed breakfast which was above and beyond what we expected.

Beds are a little tight for two larger people. Bathrooms also easier for the smaller humans .
