Stayed two nights at the Haven hotel in October 2009. I admit this is probably not the best time of year to visit Sandbanks but there we are. First thing any visitor will notice is that the location is superb (if you're in that part of the country that is), views in all directions are stunning on a clear day... more

I just returned form a one night stay in Poole. I was completely taken aback by the beauty of the area and the location of the hotel is quite staggering.I have stayed in hotels all over the world and this really has as spectacular a location as any. It is therefore a HUGE shame that the management are obviously content... more

First of all I want to say that my therapist was lovely and I had a great massage, and to be fair to the staff, they were all friendly and helpful. This review is about the FACILITIES. This is not a spa as we know it today, with lowered lights, the scent of aromatherapy oils and calming music. This is... more

My husband and I stayed at the Haven Hotel, along with my parents, for a visit to the area for a family party. Having heard so much about the Sandbanks area, and seen the way the hotel described itself, our expectations were high - my dad was very excited about finding a hotel that he thought would be a treat... more

My partner and I booked this because there was a 2 for 1 offer - if it weren'f for that we think it would have been a bit overpriced. Having said that, the location must be one of the loveliest in the UK. The hotel sits directly on the seafront -eating on the patio overlooking the beautiful busy harbour was... more

I stayed 1 night for business in Sept 07. The hotel itself is right at the end of the penninsula next to the Punt/Ferry going across the harbour entrance. It is also close to the ferry terminal if your heading across the channel or to The Isle of Wight. Checkin was fine with the staff being very friendly & helpful.... more

A September break for my 90-year-old mother, and it would be hard to find a better spot on the South Coast of England - the sea to the front and along one side, boats of all sizes coming in and out of Poole Harbour, and the long sandy beaches of Studland Bay across the water. We were so impressed by... more

We have just enjoyed a realy lovely relaxing stay at the Haven hotel, we have visited the Haven hotel a few times and always enjoy our stay the food is excellent. and the outdoor swimming pool must be one of the best in the country with wonderfull views from the hot tub. We just hope we are lucky enough to... more

This was our fifth stay at the Haven. It is not cheap (it probably uplifts its rates to take into account its stunning location) but it is good. Our rooms looked recently refurbished and were certainly big and well appointed. They were at the back so did not have the benefit of the views over Studland Bay that make this... more
