Feel part of the family

There’s a powerful atmosphere here at RNLI College. One you won’t encounter anywhere else. One that makes you feel in awe, humbled, but most of all, at home.

When you stay at the RNLI College, you’ll be alongside crew members from across the UK and Ireland who come to learn the lifesaving skills they rely on to protect our coasts. And every £1 you spend will go towards providing our lifesavers with the equipment, training, and support they need to save lives at sea.

Enjoy the View

Overlooking Holes Bay in Poole Harbour on Dorset’s magnificent south coast, all 60 bedrooms have stunning harbour views. Designed with our lifesavers in mind, all of our bedrooms have a double bed for extra comfort as well as a pull out sofa bed ideal for family staycations or can be booked as single rooms.

A feature of every room is the large well-lit workstation desk, providing a perfect study area for our crew and lifeguards.

All bedrooms are en-suite with bath and shower and have wonderful views across Holes Bay.
