Hotel du Vin Poole is nestled in the historic old town of Poole, providing guests with a luxurious base to explore the scenic coastal region. This boutique hotel combines elegance with comfort, featuring rooms equipped with fine Egyptian linen, handsprung mattresses, and plasma TVs. Its location near Poole Harbour offers guests not only stunning views but also easy access to the town's rich maritime history, including attractions such as Poole Museum and the tranquil Brownsea Island. The architecture reflects well-preserved Georgian styles, enhancing the historical allure of your stay. The hotel itself, once a significant mansion, has been transformed into a charming accommodation, maintaining its Grade II* listed status, which speaks to its architectural and historical importance.
The vicinity of Hotel du Vin Poole brims with activities for guests. One can take leisurely strolls along the quay or explore the natural beauty of Sandbanks Beach, known for its golden sands. For those interested in history, a short journey leads to the ruins of Corfe Castle or along to the Jurassic Coast, a World Heritage Site for its geological significance. The hotel's bistro offers a taste of French home-style cooking with an emphasis on local produce, making dining an exploration of regional flavors. Moreover, guests can engage in water-based activities, or for a more serene experience, visit the nearby Poole Park or take a boat to Brownsea Island, famous for its red squirrels and scouting history.
Visiting Poole is delightful year-round, yet spring and early autumn are particularly recommended for milder weather and fewer crowds, allowing for a more intimate experience with both the town and its surroundings. An interesting lesser-known fact is Poole's historical significance in the D-Day operations during WWII, with the area around the hotel having served as a key location for embarkation. Additionally, for those interested in local traditions, the Poole Harbour's 'Beating the Bounds' is an ancient custom still practiced, which involves walking the boundaries of the parish. When planning a stay, note that while the hotel offers comprehensive amenities, including a bar with an extensive wine selection, extra beds and children's breakfasts come at additional costs, which should be arranged prior to arrival for convenience.

A seasonal dining experience built around Sicilian flavours, wood-fired cooking and Planeta wine. Running across multiple dates this summer, Wood, Fire and Vine is a Mediterranean-inflected feast that brings together the warmth of the kitchen hearth with the character of one of Sicily's most respected producers.

This is the kind of event that sits somewhere between a dinner party and a wine tasting, relaxed enough to linger over but considered enough to feel like an occasion. Multiple dates are available, so there is scope to plan around your diary.
