Antelope Hotel by Greene King Inns

8/10 Good

Stunning Waterside Cottage in Poole Harbour

8/10 Good

"Lovely situation & house but needs some work. Stairs v steep. Needs banister rail at the top. Lounge cupboard should easily be a downstairs loo/cloakroom.There was 1 1/4 loo rolls for 4 people for a week. Someone's used loo roll. Yuck. No full-length mirrors anywhere. The mirrors there are too small & high.Nowhere to stand toiletries in bathroom, for 4 people. and needs a chair . There's plenty of room.Needs blankets in main bedroom. Mornings are quite cold.If you take the chest of drawers out of the main bedroom there will be a lot more room.No tin opener or baking trays/dishes in kitchen.NB This is my review, not big criticisms!"
