Copper & Lumber Store Hotel

We are just coming to the end of our week in Antigua, and it has surpassed all expectations. A huge part of that has been the lovely accommodation and glorious setting of the Copper and Lumber store. Our room, the Georgian Studio, is a spacious, tastefully furnished oasis that has provided a relaxing and beautiful base from which to explore and enjoy the island. The staff have been an endless source of knowledge and support and have made us feel so welcome we shall miss them dearly. |Due to close soon for some works but should be top of the list for anyone looking for the ideal base for a visit to the island after they reopen in the autumn. |

We stayed in the Georgian Studio this week and it was spacious, clean and stunning views. Very welcoming and helpful staff and perfect location. Lots to do and see within walking distance and choice of great beaches within easy access by car or boat taxi.

A classy hotel in historic Nelson's Dockyard. High quality furnishing, v comfortable bed. We had a suite but the living area could have been a bit more cosy considering the quality of furnishings. ||This is a small quiet hotel right by the water. It offers only breakfast though an attached restaurant is open for lunch. Surprisingly there is not really anywhere to sit outside and watch the harbour. No loungers or sun chairs. Staff are very nice and there is a kitchenette but if you think high-quality B&B you are nearer the mark. It's in a quiet spot about 5/10 mins walk from main part of English harbour - which we really liked. We hired a car to drive around the west coast beaches.||There was also a water taxi to the lovely Galleon beach for $5 a go. Would have not worries about staying again but if money were no object there are more luxurious options

The drinks were delicious! Tony made the best Nelson Rum punch and Pina |Colada! |Was heavenly to sit beside the harbour in the shade with a cool breeze-looking at the boats, sipping on our drinks in the sun!|We didnt eat here, but the food looked great, too!

We popped in for a cocktail and Tony the bartenders rum cocktail was the perfect tonic to cap off our visit! His friendly personality charmed us just as much as his cocktails. You will have a great afternoon at the Nelson Boatyard! Stop by and say hi to Tony and grab a drink!

Tony made us feel so welcome and the coffee was presented beautifully and was delicious. I would highly recommend this gorgeous little gem of a place to anyone who visits Nelson’s Dockyard in Antigua. We will definitely visit here again the next time we’re here!

There is a great view of the docks and boats, a great breeze comes indoors. The historic building has great ambiance and plenty of seating for lunch. At the bar Tony gave good reccomendations and made great drinks. We had coconut daiquiris that were incredibly smooth.

Fantastic location in the heart of Nelsons Dockyard, tastefully renovated building full of historic touches. Comfortable room (ours was on 2 levels) Best thing about the place the Staff , Claudius/Gillian/Kalia & Tony wonderful service from them all , were made to feel like old friends from the moment we arrived. Breakfast was good if a little repetitive (7 day stay) waiting staff also pleasant & helpful. Only disappointment was the limited hours the restaurant & bar were open. Really feel the place is underused & has the potential to be much more. I questioned the hours of Bar/restaurant & it was explained that because the Antiguan Parks Department controlled the Dockyard & its buildings to give other businesses a ' fair crack ' Copper & Lumber limited its services. Have to say I found this a little hard to swallow but then I'm not Antiguan & maybe they're just so nice to each other its true ?? They were certainly nice to us & would definitely return .
