“The Poolewe Hotel presents a rather mixed picture. While some find its waterside location and the culinary offerings to be strong points, others point to a need for updates in certain rooms, which detracts from the overall experience. The staff's warmth and helpfulness do seem to be a consistent highlight, however.”
