Verified traveler

Our reason for going to Poole was to catch the ferry to Guernsey Island. We stayed two nights and if we had the trip to plan again, we would have included another day or two in Poole to see the sights and also Bournmouth.

4/5 - Good

We love Poole and Sandbanks and we try to go as often as we can. However we will be staying somewhere else from now on.
