Learn more about hotels in Poole

Poole, Dorset's shining gem, offers more than just scenic views of the south coast of England. With its roots dating back to the Iron Age, the town carries an undeniably rich tapestry of history. Known for its important role in the wool trade in the 12th century, Poole grew into one of Britain's busiest ports in the 18th century. Even today, the town sports a bustling commercial port with cross-Channel freight and passenger ferry services.

Distinctly maritime in its character, Poole is the proud home of the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) headquarters, while also housing a Royal Marines base. Serving as the second-largest town in Dorset, education shines through with the presence of The Arts University Bournemouth and a major part of Bournemouth University. Boasting a diverse natural environment, from lowland heathland to wooded chines, Poole does justice to nature lovers, too.

Poole’s redevelopments in the 1950s and 1960s led to a blend of old and new, a visibly reflected in the town's architecture. The ever-bustling arts centre and sprawling beaches have made the town an attractive tourist resort, perpetually inviting curious travellers to its vibrant heart.

When to visit Poole

Looking for the sweet spot for your Poole holiday? The balmy months between May 28th and September 2nd mark the ideal time to experience the delightful seaside town. During July, August, and June, the mercury commonly hits a pleasant 22.8°C for you to savour the sun without roasting in it.

Poole remains less crowded during September, June, and March, making these suitable months for travellers seeking a quieter visit. But remember, August, July, and May are the town's prime time for tourism, with more tourists translating to pricier hotels and flights. And if wintery charms are up your alley, despite the season's slowness in tourism owing to colder weather, it offers a unique perspective of Poole, with quiet beaches and cosy cafés. Just make sure to pack your brolly for unexpected showers in autumn!
