This is an outstanding hotel with extraordinary staff! We are frequent and long-standing customers/visitors to the Haven, over the last 20 years we have had endless wonderful stays and each time it has been a visit to remember.

Another perfect stay at the Haven even better than last year. I always immediately feel happy when I arrive at the Haven the location is unbeatable what a fabulous place. Book a harbour or sea view room with balcony, lying on the bed looking out at the view is wonderful. Loungers on the balcony to catch the sun when it came out!

Arrived early evening, and was upgraded to a premium room, which was on the second floor and had a sea view - this was a total surprise, but the view and activity on the water was fantastic. Watched sail boats, motor boats of all sizes coming back into Poole Harbour, plus the Chain Ferry was constantly going across the estuary.

We have loved every minute! It has been perfect from start to finish and would happily do it all over again.

Wow! Where to start… We cannot thank Lauren enough for all her help and support throughout all our preparations and especially the big day. Our wedding day was just perfect, it was everything we wished for and more. The Haven is an amazing venue and we were so thrilled to be the first ceremony in the Pavilion bar, I hope we did it in style.
Neil and Felicity
Many thanks for a perfect day – we will never forget it. Lauren did a first class job – everything went like clockwork. The food was stunning and all our guests mentioned how tasty it was too. What a venue for a wedding, stunning location, great food and excellent customers service.
Mr and Mrs Woods
Fantastic location, ceremony looking out on the sea, canapés on the terrace, photo on the beach and an intimate meal in the beautiful Marconni lounge. Lauren was really helpful all through the planning stages and calm and discreet on the day itself. Thank you for a great day.

Our wedding day at the Haven hotel really was the best day of our lives! The staff at the hotel were extremely helpful and nothing was too much trouble. They did everything to make our day run smoothly. It really was everything that we dreamt our wedding day would be and we will treasure the memories for the rest of our lives.

Lovely food highly recommend the haddock and chunky hand cut chips with delicious mushy pees all this with a lovely view across to Old Harry and Studland. Staff were very friendly and nothing was too much trouble. I can highly recommend for a treat either lunchtime or evenings.

It's lovely having breakfast watching the ferries and boats going past. We love it because it's near the chain ferry and boat to brownsea Island.

The hotel and staff were excellent and the day ran very smoothly with special thanks to Adrianna who we thought did a fantastic job. The food was superb and all of our guests had a great time and complimented us on our choice of venue.

The venue including the ballroom, terraces and garden, was spotless, elegant and cozy. The menu was excellent, tasty and fresh. I cannot express my gratitude enough to the staff who were most helpful and did everything above and beyond the call of duty. All of our guests mentioned the great work of the managers and waiting staff in their notes of thanks.

The Haven Hotel is in such a beautiful setting at the mouth of Poole harbour. It is so well situated for visits to Brownsea Island and Swanage! The hotel is very well appointed with wonderful food and drink.

We visited for lunch and had a fantastic meal on the terrace watching the boats entering and leaving Poole Harbour. The food was delicious, the staff attentive and friendly and it is a brilliant location. A thoroughly relaxing afternoon and we will definitely be back.
