About Acorns Guest House
Acorns Guest House occupies a property on Wimborne Road, around a mile from Poole town centre, and describes itself as a long-established, family-run business built around a straightforward, homely welcome rather than resort-style facilities. Its position near the main transport routes into Poole makes it a convenient stop for visitors travelling by car or arriving via the nearby bus and rail links.
Rooms are ensuite and equipped with modern basics including free WiFi and hospitality trays, and the guest house prepares a freshly cooked breakfast each morning, with dietary requirements accommodated on request. Parking is provided for cars, along with secure storage for motorcycles and bicycles, which is useful for visitors touring the wider Dorset coast rather than staying put in Poole alone.
Acorns suits budget-conscious visitors who want straightforward, personally run accommodation within reach of Poole's harbour and beaches without paying for facilities they won't use, and its long track record under the same style of family ownership has built up a loyal base of returning guests.
What guests say
The perfect place for an overnight stay! From the minute we arrived we felt totally at home and as if we'd known Rachel and Steve all our lives. They are excellent hosts and their super friendly personalities set this guest house apart from others. The rooms are clean and the breakfasts are delicious and plentiful - what more could you want?! We will definitely book again when we're in the area.

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!

Another wonderful stay with Steve and Rachel. This is a little gem. The welcome is always warm and friendly. Slept like a log and came down to a great breakfast. ...a lovely bowl of fresh fruit salad and yogurt followed by yummy scrambled egg and smoked salmon that set me up for the rest of the day. I shall definitely be booking again and hope you will be able to fit me in in.Thank you both
