We've had a fantastic stay at the College. Rooms have lovely views, very clean and staff are fantastic. Location means you're only 10 mins walk away from the town centre with a great selection of places to eat & drink. Good selection of foods at breakfast. The College Bar was also well stock with a variety of drinks and the... More

We were advised to give plenty of notice to book here as spaces are few especially when there are courses going on in the college itself. We arrived quite late in the evening, booking in was quick and easy and staff friendly and helpful. No keys to worry about, there is the entry card system and the lifts were swift... More

My sister and I wanted to stay in Poole so that we could visit family down there and chose the RNLI College because of the excellent reviews on Tripadvisor - otherwise we would not have known about it. We had three nights there and from start to finish everything was just great - the people working there being the stand-out... More

Stayed overnight after returning from France/Guernsey on Condor Ferry. Couldn't have been better looked after in top rate accommodation. Dining room and bar are spectacular with excellent choice and careful service.

After visiting the accommodation and making myself at home in the large, spacious and bright rooms, a few of us visited the bar and got stuck into... More

We stayed at the RNLI over the May Bank Holiday and were very pleasantly surprised at the quality of this venue. The reception staff were welcoming and efficient. The room was bright, spacious, spotlessly clean with tea & coffee making facilities and lovely fluffy bath towels. The view from the bedroom window of the harbour made it a delight to... More

We decided to stay here for one night at the last minute - we only live 30 minutes away and have been to Poole many times and as my son is a lifeboat crewman and due to go there for his training next month, we decided to go and give it a try. From the friendly welcome at Reception to... More
