The Orton Rigg hotel sits on Canford Cliffs with Poole and its historic harbour to one side, and the bright lights of Bournemouth to the other. Sandy coves and stunning coastal scenery make up the Dorset coastline. The nearby New Forest and Purbeck Hills offer natural beauty to explore further inland.

Brownsea Island is a short boat trip from the mainland. The island boasts 500 acres of heath and woodland and is home to many species of wildlife.

The main attractions in Poole include Compton Acres, an accessible attraction which features gardens from around the world, and the world famous Poole pottery.

Bournemouth and Poole's sandy beaches are some of the best, and most popular, in the UK.

The hotel organises trips to the Dorset villages, Poole Quay, the New Forest and the islands off Poole Harbour.
