We like to travel around the UK and picked Poole as our bank holiday destination. We chose the Antelope firstly for its brilliant centre location. Then the price. We picked a family room although a couple as they had ran out but it was at no extra cost. The pub is lovely and the cove restaurant is the best part.... More

Stayed here this weekend (11/12 May) and while the lady welcoming us on reception was lovely that was where any positive experience of this hotel ended. The showerhead was broken, the room was shabby, dirty and had paint on the curtains. I was disappointed in the room and couldn't wait to get out for the evening (see my review of... More

We had five nights with our 2 dogs and thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Antelope! Everyone was most helpful and friendly. A quaint Old Coaching Inn in Poole's 'old town' for all the quayside amenities. It was great to be able to eat in the bar and take our four legged friends in too if we wanted. We had... More

We were there for two nights and found the hotel to be comfortable and all staff we met to be friendly. The room and bathroom were clean and the beds were very comfortable. As mentioned in a few other reviews the rooms and bathroom looked slightly dated but perfectly fine, clean spacious - and at a very good rate. Breakfast... More

Had a very pleasant 2 night stay at The Antelope, clean and tidy room, staff were lovely, friendly and helpful. Breakfast was very good. Would definitely stay again. Very centrally located for Poole Quay area.

Although the rooms are a little tired decor-wise they were clean and had all the amenties you need for a few days' stay. The staff were friendly and helpful and the location very good for the town centre and excursions. The selection for breakfast (which was included in the rate) was varied and the English fry up very good. Just... More

This has to be the weirdest hotel I have ever been to. It taken me nearly three months to get over it before I can write about it on trip advisor! The rooms are shocking, the walk up to the rooms on the 1st and 2nd are scary, dark and it smells of wee and biscuits! Do I need to... More

We have just come back from a weekend at the hotel. \we had a lovely time, friendly staff, good food, nice clean warm room. The only thing that spoiled it was our room being above the bar, very noisey, and we like a good nights sleep. Apart from that it was very enjoyable.
