    The room was beautifully fitted out and very comfortable with everything you could need including fresh milk and a cafetiere and ground coffee to make proper coffee. The breakfast was lovely too - very generous with quality ingredients. We recommend this for an overnight stay. It was perfect as a stop on our way back home.

    Nothing it was perfect

    Lovely rooms, the bed was very comfortable and the room had a large en suite with a great power shower. Tea and coffee facilities in the room with extra fresh milk and bottled water in a small fridge in the reception area that you can help yourself to. The menu for both breakfast and daytime/evening meals had lots of choices and the food was cooked to perfection, very generous portions too. Private parking is also available

    Only downside is the stairs up to the rooms and that’s only because I travelled with elderly parents. Apart from that it was great.

    Lovely rooms. Clean and fully equipped.

    The accommodation at the Rose and Crown was excellent and could not be faulted. Well-appointed modern rooms with all the right touches; fresh coffee, tea, biscuits and bottled water. Wonderful bathroom and shower and a comfortable bed. We ate in the restaurant in the evening, sampling the fish and chips and home-made Cottage pie with a couple of pints of Butcombe bitter. The breakfast in the morning was also excellent. Staff were friendly and welcoming. This is somewhere I would definitely recommend.

    Mobile data connection is not great which can affect paying taxi by card but there is free WiFi in the property so for personal use the mobile data is not an issue. The mobile data issue is of course not the establishments fault and is due to lack of mast cover I the area.

    The Rose & Crown exceeded our expectations in every way including value for money. Excellent breakfast in the morning which set us up for the day to the extent that we did not eat again until dinner in the evening. Very good facilities in the bedrooms with real coffee and complimentary bottled water. The real ale in the bar was also kept in excellent condition. We will definitely book here again if we are going to the Poole area.

    Door slammed shut noisily and the bed head banged on the wall when you turned over in bed

    Seems to be recently refurbished and the facilities were lovely. They provided extra little touches like a communal fridge with bottles of water and a bottle of milk for tea/coffee with little jugs to take it back to the room. Lovely breakfast.

    Just the outdoor staircase but I think that was because we are both elderly.

    The hotel was staff were very welcoming and helpful as we had come from a hotel that had decided to close that very day. All the rooms are up an outdoor staircase, which my husband found difficult but a very pleasant young man carried all our luggage upstairs for us. Nice clean room with a comfy bed and a gorgeous breakfast. Also in a very quiet location.
