About this property
Situated on Poole Harbour quay, The Antelope is just a 10-minute drive from Sandbanks beach. With a 500 year history the hotel’s comfortable rooms also offer free Wi-Fi access.
Still retaining part of the original 15th-century building, guests can enjoy a traditional bar with an open fire in the winter and a courtyard garden in the summer.
The nautical-themed Smuggler’s restaurant serves a large seasonal menu using locally sourced ingredients, including freshly caught fish, as well as Real Ales and fine wines.
Poole Harbour and the cross-channel ferries to France can be reached in just 5 minutes by car.
Couples particularly like the location — they rated it 9.4 for a two-person trip.
There are more repeat guests here than most other properties.
