Good dinner and breakfast. Friendly staff. Good location for the harbour.
Problems with booking. I was unable to speak directly to the hotel. I was diverted to a call centre which wasn't able to deal with my booking enquiry

Very spacious comfortable room for a very good price. Friendly, helpful staff.
Room was a bit airless, couldn't open the window fully as it's been locked to 5cm presumably to stop people with no brains from falling out of it (it can't be for security, on the 2nd floor...).

Staff couldn't be more hospitable, gorgeous pub in an amazing location. I hate birthdays now I'm over 50 but had a great time here for my 53rd 😱
We booked the superior room with a beautiful roll top bath but couldn't stay any longer than one night as there was no shower to wash my hair and the bed headboard was hanging off the wall and was only supported by the bed frame. It was a lovely room apart from that 😀

Excellent breakfast and a roomy room.
The dinner on the evening of arrival wasn't special, but what should we expect for £15.

It’s right in the centre of Poole town the room was huge and cosy.
It’s a bit noisy in the morning as you’re right on the Main Street going down to the harbour but it wasn’t a big deal

Nice property, very central location, close to the multi story parking facility.
The room we had was very large, it even had a sofa/ living space area within it.
Nice helpful staff and easy check in/ out.
The room was very dated but that was expected for the price.

The room was very clean
bed was very comfortable and we had a good night sleep
The bedside lights didn't work. couldn't find anyone to sort them out and had to be very careful with a piece of furniture as the legs were very unstable, seemed very short on staff

All the staff I encountered were excellent. The breakfast was very good. The room was large, warm, the bed was comfortable, and it was the fastest filling bath I have ever seen!
The pipes were a little noisy for me, but I'm very sensitive to noise. Otherwise I can't complain.

Really friendly and helpful staff. The room was great-if you have the chance go for room four with the bay window. Room spotless. Breakfast good with a wide selection on offer. The antelope is within easy reach of the station and the Dolphin shopping centre by foot.
I did mention it , but maybe the times for breakfast and dinner in the room. I know there are signs all over the place, but it would be easier rather than having the staff write the times out by hand. Also, some info about the wonderful building, history, etc. Please do something about the chair and the staining on the seat. Apart from a few things, a wonderful stay!!!

The room was lovely and plenty of room for our pet dog, we ate in the pub on the Thursday evening and thoroughly enjoyed participating in the quiz. The breakfast was amazing and the chef even delivered a sausage for our dog in a pet bowl - lots of personal touches, much appreciated.
Unfortunately, along the corridor from our room there was another dog that was left unattended on a couple of occasions causing it to bark incessantly.

- Excellent breakfast (you could order a cooked breakfast, and also mix and match with the cereals, baked goods and toast, Greek yoghurt).
- The bed was very comfortable.
- My ensuite bathroom was huge.
- The old-fashioned coaching inn areas have been sympathetically converted and well-looked after, which made for a lovely atmosphere.
- My room was next to the stairs that most of the guests must use to go downstairs so I could hear some foot-traffic outside of my room door. Never mind, it's luck of the draw!

The Antelope is a lovely cosy place to stay. We had a lovely few days. The evening meal was excellent and the breakfasts consisted of plenty of choice and were very well cooked. The lady who was on breakfasts for our 3 days was great, smiling and welcoming! A great member of staff! Thank you for a lovely stay.
It's a tiny thing but we were in a room up 3 floors and that always seems a bit of a trudge upstairs, but in the nature of an old building that is unavoidable sometimes! Not a big deal.

The room was ready for us early which was nice as attending wedding. Nice room top stairs comfortable.
Nice breakfast and friendly staff.
Minor thing bin in bathroom not empty full. However we could not get any hot water the next day. Husband had to boil kettle for shave and I was unable to have bath as no hot water. This room came with just bath so no shower or dual taps. Luckily we were locals attending wedding day before. Mentioned to manager on leaving. Boiler had apparently switched itself off. Manager rebooted but although water softener installed this happens.

Staff are great, food is always great, location is superb, clean room and warm and comfy.
There was a fair bit of noise from a room nearby, hot water ran out on a couple of occasions, shower room needs some work, great location.

Let's start with the positives. The full English breakfast we paid for was lovely. Ruth, the lady who ran the area, was really helpful and went way beyond what you'd expect. She really cared about making sure we're happy. We've brought our small dog with us, and she even offered to bring him a sausage so he could join in with the breakfast. My other half is gluten intolerant, Ruth had a tablet showing the options, although it was a bit flaky. I would definitely, highly recommend paying for the breakfast, if it's your sort of thing. We visited in October, but there were still plenty of places to eat, including a lovely pizzeria two or three doors down, which I'd highly recommend called Pizzeria Valona.
The pub itself is very clean and up to date. We visited midweek, so it's pretty quiet. Unfortunately, we can't say the same about the room itself. The bed itself was not particularly comfortable, but more importantly, the bathroom needed some serious attention. It wasn't particularly clean. One of the tiles in the shower itself was cracked, and there was mold growing in the silicone around the bath. The walls surrounding the floor were dirty, where it had been cleaned quickly, and the dirt had splashed up onto the side of the wall, above the skirting. Because of the location of the pub, the road outside is closed between 10 a.m. and 10 p.m., which unfortunately leads to all deliveries being made early in the morning, so we're often jolted awake around 6 a.m. by the pub's delivery lorry outside the window.

The bed was comfortable and staff were polite
The bathroom was a bit tatty and run down, (a towel rail closer to the shower would have been better.) And the partner had to hold the toilet seat up.
