About
Overlooking Holes Bay in Poole Harbor on the magnificent south coast, all 60 bedrooms have stunning harbor views. Designed with our lifesavers in mind, all or our bedrooms have a double bed and pull out sofa bed ideal for family staycations or can be booked as single rooms. The contemporary and comfortable air-conditioned rooms are decorated to the highest standards with private bathrooms including full bath and shower. The rooms benefit from a separate area to relax on the sofa and take in the far-reaching views over the bay while enjoying the free tea and coffee making facilities. Relax, unwind and make yourselves at home in Riggers restaurant where you can watch the world go by while enjoying a hearty breakfast and maybe catch a glimpse of our dedicated lifesavers being trained. It’s the perfect base for exploring Dorset with many attractions right on the doorstep. Just a short stroll to Poole Quay, a short drive to Sandbanks Beach and a short hop on a ferry to the National Trust’s Brownsea Island and the Jurassic Coast.

Cons -
- The bar and restaurant were having work done and were closed. We were warned about this well in advance. However, the alternative seemed to be a large conference room and had no atmosphere or decent view.

The sofa bed mattress is sunken down
Clean comfortable room, lovely views, friendly helpful staff who made me feel really welcome and dealt with queries efficiently a wonderful stay would recommend to anyone looking to stay in the area and you are helping a great organisation.
Convenient great location lovely staff clean and great breakfast
Nothing all good
A great room with a fantastic view. Very helpful staff and a lovely breakfast. We decided to leave the car at home so travelled by train. Easy to get to from the station and only a short walk into Poole town centre and quayside. Would thoroughly recommend this.
Rooms comfy, very clean, lovely views, staff very pleasant and helpful, breakfast very good.
Location & style of the hotel
Breakfast wasn’t as good as usual, limited seating due to relocation of restaurant
Terrific location. Clean and comfortable room.Staff very helpful. Stunning views from every public area and our room. Breakfast exceptional.
Location was ideal, near to the town, bars and restaurants. The hotel was easy to find and free parking a bonus.
Clean, cozy and comfortable room overlooking the bay. Enjoyed watching the RNLI boats and crew practising outside.
Restaurant is currently closed for renovations - of which I was informed before arrival. Meals are still available in a conference room - which is fine but doesn't have the same ambiance.
Close to ferry, parking, pleasant room, good dinner
Views from rooms and bar and breakfast room
On a main road - not much around it
The room and views wre great as was the restaurant food and service
Everything met our expectations
Position with view over the harbour.Very friendly staff.
Ventilation in bathroom very poor. The fan was not strong enough and steam built up. Very attractive bathroom but impractical.
The hotel was beautiful and well-located The room was nice and clean The staff was very kind and professional The food was good quality and tastyThe cafe / bar / restaurant offers a beautiful Kew on the HarborWe had a wonderful tour of the RNLI facilities by the volunteer Team
There was nothing we didn’t like except that we had to go home at the end of our stay.
Staff are very helpful, all the rooms overlook the harbour and very very comfortable and clean and the food is excellent
There is nothing I don’t like
Room comfortable and well-equipped. Lovely view. Breakfast buffet good.
Evening meal choices poor. Advertised bistro-style food but told that was unavailable only when we arrived in the restaurant.
