About The Merchant House - B&B
Poole Quay and the cobbled lanes of the Old Town are within walking distance of The Merchant House - B&B, on Strand Street, making it an easy base for exploring the harbour, its shops and waterside pubs without needing to drive. For anyone arriving by car, free on-site parking takes the hassle out of a central stay.
The Merchant House keeps things small with just three rooms, so guests get a quieter, more personal stay than a larger hotel would offer. Breakfast is included, and there's a restaurant, bar and snack bar on site for meals and drinks without having to head out. Rooms come with air conditioning and drinks provided, and the building itself has a lift, useful for those who'd rather avoid stairs.
Beyond the essentials, the property has some unexpected extras for a B&B of this size, including a gym, spa and sauna, a garden, and meeting rooms and business services for anyone combining the trip with work. Concierge, porter and valet parking services, plus laundry and luggage storage, round out the practical side. It's also set up as a wedding venue, for those wanting to host a celebration close to the quay.

Excellent place to stay, the host David went out of his way to make us feel very welcome. He made an awesome breakfast with homemade sourdough bread - delicious. The bedrooms were lovely and the kitchen lace was a stones throw from the beach. I would definitely stay again and recommend to anyone going to Poole

Characterful hotel in good location in Poole, close to the quay and a convenient multi-storey carpark. My room was small and comfortable, with two windows and a fan, which were useful, given the hot weather. Kettle & tea in the room, and a well-sized shower room. Incredible vegan breakfast, which was better than I could have imagined (just request a few days prior)! Communications prior to arrival were hard, but lovely owners. Would absolutely recommend.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at David’s Merchant House. He is a perfect host, very helpful and willing. He cooks the best breakfast we have ever had! The room was perfectly clean, tea and coffee in the room and a very welcome parking space. We can recommend unreservedly.
