Noisy dog during evening meal! Having a dog around was not the issue.
Had to request top up for tea and coffee , toilet paper and replacement towels. Was admin oversight, housekeeping not advised room not in use. Irritating but sorted efficiently.
Hotel was perfect for what we wanted, full of character, staff were friendly, polite and nothing was too much trouble. Service was quick in both the bar and restaurant and food was delicious. Will definitely return!
The room was lovely - toasty warm, nicely decorated and had everything I needed.
There were quite a lot of stairs to get to my room, which didn't cause me any problems, but it may be awkward for a customer with limited mobility.
Very comfortable but bath wasn’t best apart from that excellent
Just the cleaning of bath
Mat and Tracy were friendly, helpful and welcoming. All other staff we met were just as lovely. The room was clean and comfortable and had everything you need. Breakfast was excellent value and tasty.
The building is historic and has lots of original charm and is a minutes walk to the quayside and into town.
We were only there for one night! Longer next time! Otherwise it was perfect for us.
Everything except parking
No car park
Great location in historic centre near the Quay.
Old Hotel with plenty of atmosphere and great value restaurant.
Bedroom was on the small side but perfectly adequate and did not detract from our stay.
The staff are amazing at The Antelope. Nothing is too much trouble. The rooms and hotel are spotlessly clean also. We have stayed a few times before and will defo go back.

Location and very dog friendly
Was in room 15 very noisy people walking past our room being loud. Food was disappointing had to send my meal back due to over cooked breakfast sausages were rock hard/ over cooked
Next to Poole Museum. One block to the harbour. Cozy room. Bathtub with powerful water. Great breakfast with variety of choice and fruits. Strong radiator. Friendly staff.
The windows were not transparent so that I couldn't enjoy the view, although I know the rooms can be next to neighbourhood.
The bath was clean but there were some marks which may make some guests think it's not clean. The bathtub had separate switches for showers so I was confused about how to use until I figured out.
The radiator in the bathroom was ready to power up while the one in the room was off at the beginning so that I had to turn on myself but the switch was hidden next to the bed I found it hard to adjust (long hand and couldn't see the number).
Spotlessly clean, lots of character, great breakfast and wonderful staff -nothing was too much trouble
No hot water
The location was perfect, the facilities were good and the room was clean and warm
