Loved this place. The owner David was very friendly and prepared an excellent breakfast!
Down side is limited Parking - we had to use a multi story car park across the road from the B&B, but the 24 hour fee was reasonable.
The other minus was it was very noisy in the evening. There was a group of people nearby that were chatting loudly into the early hours, which disrupted our sleep. No fault of the owner of our Property!
We would recommend the Merchant House if you wish to be treated well and are not too fussed about the hustle and bustle around you.
Thank you.

Lovely place, great location for the sea front, well appointed and very comfortable. We were only there for a short time (had a Guernsey ferry crossing the next morning) but thoroughly enjoyed the stay. The owner (David) was friendly and accommodating making us feel very much at home. Would highly recommend

This is a really cute bnb in a good central location - the quay is lovely especially when the sun is shining like it was for my stay. David is so lovely and a pleasure to talk to - Bentley is also adorable. Overall a very pleasant stay.

Everything I wanted and more. Great location for taking in the shops and restaurants of Poole. Easy walk from the train station and just minutes to the touristic ferries. Nice breakfast to start the day! David, the proprietor makes sure that needs are met - a very conscientious host! Highly recommend!
