That meant the facilities weren’t fully functioning - no bar, no restaurant. In fact we were the only guests for the entire three days…a unique experience. Nevertheless, Brenda and Claudius made us feel most welcome. In fact, Claudius seemed to be there 24/7! Once they got over the shock of having guests again, nothing could be too much trouble - breakfast was brought to the room on a daily basis (an extended continental with additional items we requested) as there was no restaurant, and on one night Claudius played music outside our room to serenade my wife as we drank wine and ate a platter of meats and cheeses. We also saw them prep beautifully for a rehearsal dinner (inc fireworks) one evening, for a couple who were getting married nearby. As for the hotel itself, it is a period property that is traditionally decorated and furnished as such…do not expect a modern contemporary feel. But it was a treat to stay somewhere so atmospheric, that imbued that sense of history. We loved it. Thank you Brenda and Claudius! More

Gillian who was our main point of contact during our stay was fabulous, as was Brenda and Cornelius ( I hope I got that right!) All of the reception staff were super efficient, booking our covid test when it was out of hours and where also very friendly. We stayed for 5 night. The first room we had was called Hardy - a large split level room, with small kitchenette, large living area on one floor with tons of storage, a bathroom on the half landing and a large bedroom with vaulted ceiling on the top floor, far more space than we actually needed, and although lovely it was VERY dark with no view. After we decided to stay for a little longer I requested to be moved to a room with more light and a bit of a view , we were given a room called Brittania , all one level, again with a kitchenette, sofa, dining table and incredible views over the super yachts, perfect .It also had a great bathroom with a recently renovated shower stall, lots of lovely dark wood, which made you feel you were on a boat.The bed was comfy , little soft for my personal preference and did creak a lot when you turned over at night.The rooms are traditionally furnished with dark wood furniture, maritime themed pictures with classical soft furnishings, as you would expect from a hotel of this age, everything was very tasteful.

We didn't eat in the hotel, but breakfast was included and is served on the terrace overlooking the yachts.

We thought that were some missed oppertunities for additional income and would have loved to have seen traditional afternoon tea served on the lawn, something that is very popular on other Caribbean islands and would have fitted the hotel and its setting, as well as bringing in additional revenue.

The hotel is situated in Nelsons Dock Yard, A UNESCO World heritage site, the buildings within the dockyard are all spectacular, steeped in history.It is a short walk to a few bars and a small supermarket and about a 7 minute walk into English Harbour which has a larger selection of restaurants and bars.

We stayed in 5 hotels during our time in Antigua and this was by far the best for quality, service, location and value.

Thank you to all the lovely staff at this super hotel, your boss should be proud of you!

  I just can't say enough about the warmth of the staff at this place. We were welcomed by Gilli (sorry if misspelled) and throughout our stay she made us feel... read more like family. We really felt liked she cared about us and our happiness. She and all the rest of the team there were absolutely wonderful.

The place itself is gorgeous and it so cool to be in such a historic building. We had the 2-level suite which was wonderful as my mom and I could be on separate levels (which would also be great for families). The wood floor and all the finishing touches were exceptional. It also had an amazing range of tv channels (of course you don't come to Antigua to watch TV but when you can catch your football team playing in the playoffs on one of their channels, it is a big bonus!).

I highly recommend this hotel, and would like to say a special thanks to all the staff there.

The staff were lovely, warm and accommodating - we enjoyed it so much we went back for a second night. English Harbour is a great base and there’s plenty of cafes, shops, bakeries and restaurants within walking distance. The museum is also next door. Highly recommend.

  When we booked this of my 3 hotels on the trip it was the one I looked forward to the least. But if all of them, it’s the one i’d... read more recommend the most.

It has no pool, it’s not next to a beach, there’s no lively bar on site and it seems quite pricey. Firstly the price for the size and quality of room is really reasonable in such an authentic setting. No beach? Hire a car and explore the beautiful southern beaches. You could just about walk to Pigeon Point beach but i’d melt in the heat trying. It’s a 3 min drive away.

The rooms are huge with big beds and space to lounge around. Ours (Britannia) overlooked the water but some presumably don’t have a view of the sea.

We had a b&b rate but the included continental breakfast wasn’t as inticing as some of the food people were ordering. The restaurant wasn’t open in the evening apart from Friday Fish night. That was brilliant with lots of locals turning up to eat.

The building is set in the UNESCO world heritage dockyard that was great to stroll around.

Would I stay here again? Yes I think I would although the place up the road looks good too. I’d make sure I have a car to explore too though. More

  Only stayed a night before Antigua Sailing Week. Staff were very friendly and helpful and the food and drinks on premises were good value. The historical significance of the... read more premises is fascinating.

The room was very generous in size with water glimpses. It was tired and in need of renovation. In our room we had two beds which should have been replaced several years ago - neither if which were very comfortable.

Had lunch overlooking the water. Food was good value and drinks reasonably priced. Only issue was that this venue was not open for dinner, resulting in us having to wander outside for dinner. There are a couple of options within easy walk of the hotel.

Would revisit for a meal and drink again but not stay until the quality of the accommodation is improved.

  The Copper and Lumber Store Inn is one of the historic buildings, which together make up Nelson's Dockyard. Since during the day this place gets much visited, it is recommended... read more to spend here a night or more to enjoy the area in the quiet evening hours. Unlike day visitors the people, who are staying here, don't pay an entrance fee.

Gillian at reception was exceptionally friendly, when we checked in and she also helped us with the luggage up some stairs. No complaints either about the other staff working at reception on the next days. The only rather unfriendly person we met here, was the lady serving the breakfast.

Our room was the 'Badger'. For this we had to go up some stairs to the first floor. After opening the door to the studio there were more stairs inside. We didn't mind and the place looked aesthetically very pleasing with the shiny belt parquet and the sloping ceiling. There was a separate small kitchen and a quite big walk-in closet with many clothes hangers.

The bathroom had plenty of storage space, free toiletries and a good shower. We understood that there couldn't be a balcony in a protected historic building, but we still missed a place to hang up our wet bathing suits and towels after swimming in the sea.

The bed was comfortable and it we slept well, until in the middle of the last night an intermittent strong noise from some kind of machine (pump, air-conditioning?) kept us awake for quite some time.

A modest continental breakfast is included in the room rate and is served in the restaurant, which also has some nice outdoor seating. One day we had a good lobster salad there for lunch. For dinner though one has to go elsewhere.

  This place exceeded my expectations, partly because it is affordably priced. The hotel is a historical landmark, but the rooms are big, breezy and comfortable. there are lots of places... read more to eat nearby. A great place to stay in English Harbour.

To be upfront, the five-star rating is based on our stay in the wonderful Royal Sovereign Suite, with its postcard view of the yachts. We had spent one night in a lesser room, a two-story arrangement with the bathroom downstairs and more modest appointments with no view; that we would not have rated five stars. But the Royal Sovereign gets five with no hesitation, so shoot for that or the other suite across the hall if you can. The staff was unfailingly helpful -- Jillian (hope I spelled it correctly) stood out during our time there, but they were all great and deserve the accolades. Continental breakfast was not lavish, but perfectly adequate with eggs, pastries, juice and tea. After a later stay in the St. John's area, I would unhesitatingly return to Copper and Lumber on any future visit to Antigua.

  Stayed for 1 night. The room was perfectly ok. Clean and comfortable. The staff where very unfriendly and rude. It felt like they really couldn’t be bothered. The continental breakfast... read more was ok but nothing special.
