Travelled to the Poole area to attend a charity event and the Harbour Heights hotel was all that was available for one night, on the date we required My partner booked the hotel on the internet and paid up front, but on arrival to be requested his card details and presented with a bill. After a difficult conversation with the... more

I read all the reviews on the Harbour Height Hotel - and was not looking forward to the wedding i was attending last weekend. All i can say is there must be 2 Harbour Heights - as the hotel i was at was amazing. The staff (yes alot were eastern europeen - i know that gets some peoples backs up)... more

beautiful views that feel magical, Rooms are compact but fine. Nightmare that you have no 'do not disturb' signs and can't lock them so house keeping came in twice to all 3 rooms our friends and I stayed in. The most shocking was the rudeness of the manager and the fact that they ignored our orders, were reluctant to seat... more

I do assure you that we do read all reviews, good and bad, and take on board all comments made. I would have liked to have had an opportunity to sit down with you at the time of...

Second 1 night stay , the first being in summer !!! 2008. Despite it being middle of winter was just as impressed as when visiting on a warm summers day. When the sun shines I doubt there is a more spectacular setting for sitting out having a drink. If anyone knows of one let me know. View from sea facing... more

We stayed here in October for one night as part of a wedding party. Our room was nice, it had a small balcony with a table and chairs with a beautiful view of Sandbanks, the harbour and Brownsea Island. The room was a decent enough size (although maybe not as large as you'd expect for the rack-rate). Bathroom was nice... more

We only stayed here for one night as guests at a wedding reception held at the hotel. I'm pleased we had a reduced price (£99 per person per night) however I still think this was overpriced for what you got. We were informed it was one of the best hotels in Poole so we were disappointed. The facade was dreary.... more

A boutique hotel with a difference, is how I would rate the Harbour Heights. The first thing you notice is the spectacular view from the terrace, and all credit has to go to the design of the hotel for maximising the view from all locations. Having held my wedding at this hotel I have seen many of the rooms and... more

The worst good hotel we've ever visited. HH is set back 200 metres from the Sandbanks to Poole road and offers lovely, if slightly obscured views across the harbour. The hotel is well maintained and the food is very good and reasonably priced if you go for the £30 a head 3-course set menu. Unfortunately that's where the compliments end.... more

Stayed just for one night whilst visiting relatives in Poole. I wanted to stay in Sandbanks to see what all the fuss was about and to be honest I cant see the attraction. The hotel itself was ok, although being a Saturday obviously had a wedding party in and on entering reception appeared a little disheveled and needed a good... more

The hotel is beautiful with stunning views and it could be an incredible place to stay. We booked over 20 rooms for ourselves and our guests to stay after our wedding - luckily we did not have our wedding or reception there!! The whole process was chaos from start to finish and i really wish we'd stayed elsewhere. The staff... more
