The Antelope is situated at the end of the High St and is next to the Harbour and shops which is great. It also has free parking and a nice restaurant offering affordable and good quality meals. Just make sure you don't get given room 3. It is a single room at the top of the building overlooking the High... More

On the way to the ferry to Jersey, an overnight at the Antelope in Poole High Street was pleasant enough. The bar has live music, but the restaurant is pleasant and efficiently run with a big step above normal pub food. Good service throughout. Really the whole ground floor needed a brush of paint, though the rooms we had were... More

Stayed overnight before catching the 8am ferry to Jersey, the hotel is old but functional with helpful staff making us welcome. Being disabled made this a very difficult stay for me No lift and being allocated a top floor meant the luggage stayed in the car overnight in their allocated parking area across the road.

An old hotel without a lift and with steep narrow stairs. Not ideal for a family with lots of bags... Rooms were OK - but not great. Very dated and in need of love but clean - so no complaints. Restaurant was the surprise for both dinner and breakfast. The food was great. At breakfast they even made us sandwiches... More

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
