South Rising Guest House

Breakfast was delicious, and I looked forward to it each morning. The hosts welcomed me with warm hospitality and genuine smiles when I arrived. The rooms were spotless and tastefully decorated, with a cozy, welcoming feel. The hosts’ attention to detail and personal service made the stay memorable. It’s a charming bed and breakfast in a picturesque location, and I’d wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway.

The self-service continental breakfast is complimentary. This accommodation is right in the hub of Poole and works well as a base for exploring beautiful Dorset. Poole Park is just a few minutes’ walk away, Poole quay is a pleasant 30 minute walk, and the bus station is 10 minutes on foot. Breezer bus number 60 stops across the road.

I booked two nights as part of my mum’s birthday gift, along with tickets to Monkey World. The service was A*. Our room was spacious, with a very generous double bed and a full-size private bathroom. Everything was clean, and there was a kettle, drink options and biscuits. It felt like staying at a posh hotel. Breakfast was incredible, with loads of choice and everything really tasty. Parking looked like it could get tight or awkward if lots of guests brought cars, but we had no trouble during our stay. The harbour and town centre were an easy walk away, with lots of restaurants around. Highly recommend!

The location was perfect, with off-road parking, and the hosts were kind and very welcoming. My room had excellent facilities, including plenty of sockets for phones and gadgets, and wireless phone charging on the back of the alarm clock. There was lots of storage, even for a week or longer. The bathroom was modern and very clean, with a shaver charging point, and the bed was comfortable. Breakfast was excellent, made with good-quality ingredients. I’ll definitely book here again soon.
