Creator's Key Takeaways

we stayed about 50 miles down the coast yeah because we knew we'd have to drive out of the town to go to the curving testing center

it was a really really delightful hotel yeah it was gonna classes as a hotel not as a pub

we would definitely stay again and of course we need to stay somewhere else but it was lovely

i would recommend the comfort for anyone however i'm aware if we're too positive about this we might not better get a room next time

Creator's Tips & Advice

Be aware that the RNLI hotel room mirror might allow others to see you from the balcony.
Book dinner early at Rockfish in Poole as it gets booked up.
Consider staying at the Cranford Cliffs gastro pub for a more luxurious experience at the same price.

YouTube Video Description

Welcome to our Portsmouth Pre Cruise Stay Review video, we hope you enjoy our thoughts on the hotels and restaurants we visited. With Virgin Voyages going out of Portsmouth this meant us having our first pre-cruise stay there, and as we had two nights we decided we wanted to explore a little further along the coast rather than just staying in Portsmouth for the two nights. We will be checking out the highly rated (on Trip Advisor and Booking.com) RNLI Hotel in Poole, was it as good as ratings suggested; and then eating at the Rockfish at Poole Harbour. Then we stay at the Cranford Hotel at Cranford Cliffs As usual, Linzi and Mark record the commentary live, in a single take, whilst enjoying a little drink.
