Downstairs, there’s the Thyme restaurant, which sounds fancy but is actually just really good comfort food. The full English breakfast is a masterpiece of bacon, sausages, and hash browns that would make a continental breakfast weep with shame. You can also grab a decent dinner—think burgers, pasta, or a steak that’s cooked exactly how you like it.
But here’s the secret: the unlimited filter coffee during breakfast is a game-changer. You can sip it while staring out the window, pretending you’re a sophisticated novelist on a writing retreat. Spoiler: you’re just planning your trip to the beach, and that’s valid.
Two night stay - Review of Premier Inn Poole Centre (Holes Bay) hotel
A Quick Giggle in Reception
One thing I love about this hotel is the little touches. There’s a loyalty coffee machine in the lobby, and a weirdly addictive TV screen that shows local weather and ferry times. You can also buy a rain poncho at the desk for a fiver—because, hello, it’s Poole, it might drizzle between sunshine.
And the car park? It’s spacious, well-lit, and doesn’t feel like a Tetris game trying to fit your SUV in. That alone deserves a tiny round of applause. No, really, I’ve clapped for less.
