Older property showing some wear and tear. Check in wasn’t too great, as we waited over 20 minutes with no one at the desk and were continually told they were having a busy day. While that’s okay, an option to leave our bags would have been nice. The staff acted a bit annoyed (two people separately) when I asked to check in, but the manager who eventually came was kind and helpful. The room was very warm (early August) with no cross breeze. The main window opened on the outdoor restaurant and bar, so it was quite noisy. Overall okay, but didn’t seem worth the price given the service and room.

Huge bathroom. No towel rail by the basins every time wash hands had to drip water to a rail 5 feet away. And incredibly No Shower. Huge bath with side taps but no facility to wash and rinse hair. Come on Greene King its 2026 not 1826.

We stayed one night on a bed, breakfast and dinner rate. We loved our room. The dinner and service were excellent. The breakfast was good.

I would gladly stay at the Antelope again, but not in the summer heat. The rooms do not get good airflow and they are HOT. Thankfully the staff gave us a fan. Otherwise, the rooms are smallish but not uncomfortably small, and the bathroom was roomy. Everything was clean and working properly. As we are American we appreciated the shower curtain! We absolutely loved the restaurant and bar— great food, drinks, ambiance and staff.

Loved this hotel. Located in the old town of Poole Quay. Lots of pubs and restaurants to choose from as well as the Antelope itself where we had a lovely lunch. Room was lovely. Bed was super comfortable. We stayed in room 8. Be aware this room had a bath but no shower. Room did not have aircon which we didn’t have an issue with as not sure the room ever got hot. Hotel did not have its own car park. There are two multi story 24/7 car parks both within a 3 minute walking distance. Note that one car park was a bit tight for a large vehicle but other one was no problem. Would like to mention the friendly bar lady (did not get her name but she was a senior lady the same as me) who could not do enough for us. We wished we’d booked for longer and will definitely be back.

Fantastic location! Right by Poole Quay

Recommended hotel to stay 👌

A very nice hotel, lovely room at a very reasonable price. Good bar and lovely food also reasonably priced. Staff very friendly. Right next to the museum and around the corner from the quay with a short walk to Lighthouse arts centre.

Staff are nice and friendly, rooms are nice with comfy beds, close to all amenities

Friendly & welcoming staff.

Brilliant location for Poole Quay. Family room spacious, quiet and clean. Disappointing there was no view out of windows not even a glimpse as totally blocked by white permanent shuttering. I don't care if the view is not great but too see the sky would be good. I'm sure there is good reason why shuttered as doesn't make sense otherwise. If the room hadn't have been so spacious, we would have felt quite claustrophobic. Staff very friendly. A warm welcome upon arrival and at breakfast. Cooked breakfast very good and my daughter really enjoyed the continental. Excellent choices especially all the fresh fruit. Nice coffee. This was our second stay at Antelope and will be back for a third.

Lovely place by the quay, very friendly attentive staff. Would definitely go back again.

Nice, older style hotel in great location near quayside. In pedestrian street so have to park elsewhere nearby and early morning noisy bin collections!! Didn't find a lift up to second floor! Really comfy beds

Straightforward pub accommodation in a textbook old coaching inn style property right in the centre of Poole. It’s not the Ritz, but it’s all perfectly serviceable with friendly and helpful staff and a top breakfast as well that’s definitely worth adding to your booking.

Great staff and great location. Rooms are basic but clean and tidy. Breakfast is cooked to order and there is a continental choice as well. The restaurant for lunch and evening meals is busy and the food is good.

The food and the bar was really good. The staff couldn’t have been more helpful and made our stay really welcoming. They have managed to make the bar resteraunt and the bedroom we stayed very comfortable and bright but still holding on to the character of the building. Will definitely go back

Very friendly staff nice breakfast but the bath requires some sort of non slip fitted due to me slipping also difficult to get in due to height.

Lovely hotel with excellent staff in a great central location

Great hotel
