“Didn’t like “ is too strong a fraise but I thought a bit overpriced as it is still a college. Food in restaurant you wouldn’t book if outside,but it was ok for first night. Although service very slow but you couldn’t blame front off house staff as they didn’t have enough of them. Also very limited selection.

Location easy walk to old town. 3 minute drive to the event I’d entered 15 drive to Compton Acres gardens. Money spent in shop & restaurant partly going to very good & important cause. Staff& complex very friendly and clean. Bedroom was very good for what we wanted.

The bedroom was a little warm.

The bedroom view was amazing, the room was very comfortable and clean. All the staff were helpful and very friendly. We booked into the fascinating tour of the RNLI, well worth it if you’re free. The breakfast was delicious with lots of choice.

Nothing - a really enjoyable trip

Staff were absolutely fantastic, a really welcoming friendly place. The tour was fabulous, Views were great, restaurant offered a good variety for breakfast and also a decent drinks menu. Rooms were basic and the sofa bed probably a touch uncomfortable if you are an adult but it was clean. Overall fantastic value for money and a credit to the RNLI

There wasn’t enough food at breakfast time - the restaurant ran out of pastries.

The property was exceptionally clean & spacious. Staff were friendly and welcoming. Lots of interesting facts about RNLI and how it all started. So relaxing to sit and look out at the boats sailing past and all within easy walking distance of the harbour.

All was well :-)

Really friendly & helpful staff. Beautiful room with a sea view - super clean & right size. Restaurant with plenty of options and dishes cooked with attention to detail. Exceptional breakfast - good selection, done really well (probably the best hash browns I've ever had!). Close to a few beaches perfect for paddle boarding. Great area for a morning jog.

The water did not drain effectively from the bath. We reported it day 1 but it was not even fixed by day 4. In the bar and restaurant there were piles of dirty glasses and crockery left on tables for far too long.

Location is awesome! We have visited several times since the facility was opened. Always dine in at least one night. Breakfast is fantastic too

Great place to stay, staff from the moment we arrived was excellent, the tour was a lovely surprise, didn’t realise it was included in the price great to learn about the ENLI & the great work they do saving lives & how they have so many volunteers.

Great place to stay, view over pool harbour was amazing.

Not a lot to dislike. It cost £170 per night B&B, which is on the expensive side, whether value for money depends on how you value things. We decided that whatever it cost we would support the institution!

This is the RNLI college hotel, primarily intended for volunteers and staff when undergoing training. The facilities are excellent including a proper restaurant, bar with bar meals, terrace overlooking the harbour, all very clean and new. Going down to the bar or restaurant you pass seminar and meeting rooms, recognising the familiar inshore and seagoing training lifeboats moored next to the quay and taking note of displays on the corridors showing the history and work of the RNLI. Very atmospheric. Our double room overlooking the harbour was clean but somewhat utilitarian. Comfy smallish bed, tv, iron & board, unwelcoming sofa, fridge, air con - it’s a college after all, and suitable for periods of study, and the likes of us, stays of a couple of nights.

Nothing to dislike

We had a lovely view across Poole harbour. The room was clean and the bed was comfortable. We had dinner and breakfast in the restaurant, both were excellent. Friendly, helpful staff, a good location and secure parking. Will definitely stay there again when visiting Poole

1st room wasn’t ready but a quick call to reception and the room allocated was changed straight away the receptionist was fantastic

The welcoming received from the reception staff and a couple of the facilities staff gave me a small tour of the sea survival facility. The pride they had in the place was evident.I would happily stay agin as it benefits the charity
