    Poole itself is not particularly of interest and is quite small with an old town area and harbour, but is quite a good base to visit other places in the area either by boat trips, by train or by car. It is easily accessible by train from London Waterloo and once there it is also close to other coastal resorts such as Bournemouth and Weymouth.

    Ideal for visiting Brownsea Island but it closes November to March. Check opening times! Easy access to Sandbanks with lovely long walk to Bournemouth. RNLI College Hotel is an experience in itself and cruise trip boats are within a short walk from it. Poole town is very ‘tired’ but a good base to travel around area.

    I nice area, with plenty to do. If you plan to go out in the week check which restaurants are open and / or which pubs serve food. As Poole is on the South Coast, please consider the Weather at the time of year you visit.

    This was the 2nd time my wife and I have stayed in Poole and we like it very much. The harbour is interesting and there is always something happening. There are plenty of boat trips around the harbour or down to Wareham or Swanage. The weather was too bad for us but it would be great on a good day. Poole Quay or close to it is an ideal place to stay with plenty of good restaurants and pubs. The historic old town is worth exploring and there are several museums and an interesting old church nearby. Although we didn't use them there were plenty of buses linking all the major attractions in the town. wwarehama or

    Poole Quay has lovely restaurants and bars. You can easily get to Bournemouth, Wareham, Swanage and Wimborne for days out. Good choice of shops and supermarkets. Good transport links and the Number one bus is great for getting around Poole Town Centre.

    Because the weather was wonderfully warm and sunny, it was busy, particularly around the Poole Quay area. Parking was easy, either within the Poole Quay, or just outside in large, spacious car parks overlooking the sea. Plenty of bars and eateries. So, so enjoyable

    Location was superb, just a short walk from Poole Quay. Juliet Balcony overlooking Hamsworthy Bay and a working marina. Apartment was very clean, well appointed and "Home from Home" giving you comfort with personal space and far better than just a hotel room. For January the weather was very kind that we could have breakfast on the balcony watching the sea and the world go by. Probablly one of our most favourite breaks.

    We ate one night in the restaurant which was fabulous. much better than expected. Although the hotel is old, it was very clean and comfortable with evidence of ongoing expenditure with new carpets and soft furnishings. The staff were very helpful, you knew immediately upon entering that you were in a better quality hotel.

    The room was attractive and comfortable and a better size than I expected from the website. The staff were friendly and helpful. The hotel was ideally located for the reason for our visit - a function at the Guildhall - and also for exploring old Poole. We enjoyed our visit and would stay at the Antelope again

    Chose this over Premier Inn due to the free breakast option and for a change. The hotel is pretty basic, bathroom a little dated but did what it needed to- comfy beds, clean, helpful staff and a reasonable breakfast. Bacon was tough as old boots but good selection available. Nice stroll to Poole Quay.
