We stayed in the Acorns Guesthouse for three nights and this is a definite recommendation for a stay in the area of Poole/Bournemouth/Christchurch! Rachel and Steve are the most caring hosts around. The rooms are incredibly clean and very spacious. For breakfast they supply you with the best full English you‘ll ever have and offer an all around great service!They’re very knowledgeable on the best things to do in the area and are always there for you if you have a question or just want to have a chat.It’s easy to reach by both bus and car and is just a quick walk (15-20 mins) from Poole station. There’s two pubs nearby and a gas station just across the road.We will definitely visit the Acorns again!

I would just like to thank Rachel & Steve for their hospitality. We had a really good time and the bedroom and service was excellent.|One small request would be to change the weekend breakfast hours to 08:00 - 10:00 hrs. Ideal location for Poole town centre or travelling to Bournemouth.
