We like the quaintness of the Antelope, we are old and we anchor after the past so this place suits us well

Lovely hotel though a mix of rooms! Breakfast is great, will stay again!
The hotel and staff are lovely & most rooms are lovely too. A few of us went for a festival. Was a great location on the harbour. The breakfast was included & the food was amazing, nothing we asked for was any trouble.…
