I was staying here for 3 nights and needed a guest house as near to a course I was on as possible. The breakfast is very good indeed and the bedroom was very comfortable. The place was spotlessly clean. The B&B is quiet - not much traffic on the road outside and the rear of the B&B overlooks the garden.

Had a lovely stay at The Bees Knees, beautiful clean room, lovely ensuite (immaculate), sheets appeared ironed every time we got into the bed. Food delicious, home made bread, sausages, yoghurt, preserves and fruit steeped in masala for breakfast. Yummy!! Shell and Graham so pleasant and friendly, certainly can recommend and will return again.

Stayed one night on business trip. The hosts were lovely, very friendly and helpful. Room comfortable and immaculately clean, along with very nice en-suite bathroom. Breakfast was very flexible with delicious locally sourced and homemade choice. Recommended a small Italian nearby, Fillipo's, which was excellent. Very busy for a Tuesday night. Will be back!

I rarely feel it necessary to write reviews, but this B&B is exceptional and deserving of a glowing recommendation. In short, you can expect the following as a bare minimum: - A very warm welcome. - A spotless guest house. - A spotless bedroom with facilities of a standard you would normally expect in a 5 star hotel. - Complimentary...

welcoming I stayed in this lovely B&B recently as I had to do some work in the local area. From the minute I arrived I was spoilt rotten. I felt like I had come home! A warm welcome with a cuppa waiting, shown to a beautiful room with fabulous ensuite. As I lay in bed I actually forgot that I... More

Graham and Shell made me feel really welcome as soon as I arrived. I was staying on my own and had never been to Poole. Within 10 minutes of arriving I'd been given a cuppa, had my bag and coat taken to my room and Shell had booked a table for me at a nearby restaurant (which was really appreciated).... More

Well, where can I start? From the moment we were welcomed into Bees Knees we felt like our needs and wants were of upmost importance to Shell and Graham. Our bags were taken up to our room whilst we were greeted with tea, coffee and a smile - straight away I knew our stay would be a comfortable and pleasant... More

We stayed in aug 2011.From the cheery greeting (despite us being 2hrs late) to the cuppa quickly after, to the beautiful room and SPOTLESS ensuite.Things got better with the most amazing breakfast, try the fish whatever you do.Shell and Graham were friendly and accomadating, I really couldn't fault the place,will stay no where else in Dorset.
