Can anyone recommend a nice hotel & restaurant please ? I've not stayed there for some years but the Sandbanks hotel was always nice and in a fabulous location Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveLyric2 Posted June 23, 2020 Report Share Posted June 23, 2020 Sandbanks Hotel is very good as are its sister hotels the Haven Hotel (also in Sandbanks) and the Harbour Heights in Canford Cliffs. The Sandbanks has a very good on-site Chinese Restaurant - assuming nothing has changed due to the Covid??? The club recommends the Hotel Du Vin in Thames Street, Poole. Food and accommodation top notch (but top prices too - particularly August Bank Holiday weekend I imagine.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
proud panther Posted June 23, 2020 Report Share Posted June 23, 2020 The wife likes the look of the Thistle hotel, has anyone stopped there. We also need a nice steakhouse if we go, any suggestions ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Crown Hotel just off a The Quay for dinner, but would need to book- my favourite, excellent food, great service & reasonable prices Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also several decent restaurants on and around the quay area. Ranchos Steak House is good on the quay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are advertising on Booking.Com, but saying temporally closed. Thought that was Covid 19, but would appreciate anyone being able to confirm this please.

daz9100 Posted June 24, 2020 Report Share Posted June 24, 2020 They are taking bookings from July, so they must be still open. I know there are plans to redevelop the site but not sure planning has been granted yet. https://www.thistle.com/en/dorset/poole.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can I recommend the trip includes :- 1) A visit to see where the Baden-Powell statue used to be. 2) A cruise round Poole Harbour which my Dad says was where the Japs bombed the harbour and led to the Yanks joining in on WWII.

It’s still there. 2. Maybe they could bomb it again to make some improvements 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HGould Posted June 29, 2020 Report Share Posted June 29, 2020 Interesting interviews with young Mr Ford on Speedway GB website over the weekend. He didn't seem over-confident that the Stadium would be available for Racing even if Government Crowd Restrictions are eased to a level at which clubs like Poole could viably open. Read a while back about the Dogs not running and Greyhounds transferred to Tracks that are running. Does that mean Pirates may join Glasgow in not running and waiting for 2021?

The return of greyhounds to Poole Stadium - as with Speedway - is based upon the same 'go-ahead' from Government, so that the furloughed stadium staff can return to work.
