Acceptable hotel with minor issues

convenient locationbeautiful viewspolite staffcold poolextra breakfastportable radiator
I found the location very convenient. I could easily walk to Hengistbury Head and Mudeford Spit using the ferry. The hotel has beautiful views from both restaurants. All the staff were helpful. They were polite and professional.
The pool was modern, but I found it cold. I had booked a room with breakfast included. I was informed I needed to pay extra for a hot breakfast. The heating was not operational because it was not yet November. I required a portable radiator from reception.
