Admirals' Inn consists of three buildings situated in a secluded section of historic Nelson's Dockyard at English Harbour, on the south coast of Antigua. The main building is a three-story Georgian brick structure with a spacious terrace looking out over the water and the yachts lying at anchor. There are nine (9) rooms on the two upper floors, while the lounge, dining and kitchen facilities are on the ground floor. A ground floor annex just across the pillared lawn, houses four (4) more rooms, and adjacent to that is the Joiner's Loft apartment, with two double rooms, two bathrooms, a kitchen and a spacious living-room area looking right out over the harbour. Each room has a private bathroom with shower. Most are furnished with two twin beds, but three of the superior rooms have one queen. The annex rooms each have a small patio and garden entranceway, while the front rooms in the main building have a nice view out over the harbour. Air-conditioning telephone in rooms at the superior and moderate rate categories, while all other rooms are cooled by ceiling fans. We serve all meals on a la carte basis, with a varied selection of items. Our tree-shaded terrace is a delightful place to sit and dine, looking out over the water. Local seafood is our speciality, and we use fresh local produce whenever possible. A full range of wine is available. We provide evening entertainment in the form of steelband or local string flute band occasionally during the season, but in general the atmosphere is peaceful and low-key. Other late-night entertainment is available within walking distance. Admirals' Inn is quite unique, being housed in such lovely old buildings and located in such an interesting Dockyard. Staffed entirely by West Indians, it enables guests to become acquainted with both the unique heritage and the present day people of this little Island. We welcome people to experience a holiday that is off the beaten track, but not isolated in a resort situation.

SWIMMING AND SNORKELING. Our boat is available to take you to the beach at Freeman's Bay, at the entrance to Harbour. It is a white sandy beach with no road access, and there are good snorkeling reefs nearby. If you wish to have beach chairs, please ask the boatman to bring some with you. The boat will come back for you whenever you request. There is no charge to resident guests for this trip. There is also a lovely beach at Pigeon Point in Falmouth Harbour, now a National Park. Our car can take you there (about 5 minutes drive) and call for you later, or you may want to walk back through the valley. Ask at the desk for snorkeling gear and beach towels, and enjoy our beaches! WALK TO FORT BERKELEY (about half a mile). The footpath to Fort Berkeley, the fort at the entrance to English Harbour, begins by the southern wall of the Dockyard, on the Harbour side of the Copper and Lumber Store. Walk around the wall on the wooden dinghy pier and then follow the path up the hill and to your left along the ridge. From there on the path is clear and open. This is a pleasant walk with a good view at the end. The fort is interesting as a fine specimen of old time military engineering. An information sheet on the Fort is available at the desk. A collection of items pertaining to the Dockyard and the history of Antigua is housed in the Admiral's House. There is a more comprehensive Museum in the town of St John's. Bus service runs daily to and from St John's. We have a selection of small boats for your free use within English Harbour. It is also possible to arrange charters for day or half-day sailing, or for off-shore fishing. Apply at the desk for arrangements. A network of walking trails has been developed in the area which enable you to enjoy the natural beauty and rich heritage of the National Park. A trail guide is available. Please advise the desk of your plans, and always walk with at least one companion. VISIT SHIRLEY HEIGHTS. The fortifications here were the army counterpart to the naval installations at the Dockyard and there are various arched ruins to see. Stop at the new Dow's Hill Interpretation Center on your way up, and end up at the Lookout which has a fine view of the Dockyard and its surroundings, especially pleasant at sunset with cocktail in hand!

The building was planned in 1785 (the year after Nelson arrived in English Harbour as Captain of HMS BOREAS) and completed in 1788. The ground floor was used to store pitch, turpentine and lead, and there were offices for the engineers of the Dockyard upstairs. The brick passageway at the entrance divided brick-lined pits used for storing the pitch, which was in barrels. Some original pitch marks may still be seen at the foot of the stairs. The bricks used in the building were brought over from England as ship's ballast, and it is said that the ballast used on the return trip was mostly rum. The bar counter top is an original Workshop bench top found elsewhere in the Dockyard. One can still make out various ships' names carved on it by the Seamen of the time. a corvette built in 1867. A 5th rate 46 gun frigate, built in 1829. H.M.S. CANADA in the dockyard in April, 1882. This is the ship King. George V was serving on as midshipmen whilst at English Harbour. The ship's plan behind the bar is of Nelson's ship, H M S BOREAS (meaning the North Wind), a 142 foot 28 gun frigate built at Hull. This plan is a photographic copy of the original Admiralty draft of this vessel. Every ship had to leave a draft submitted to their Lordships of the Admiralty for approval of design. The frame surrounding the plans is of lignum vitae, and is an original door frame from one of the entrances to the building. The round pillars on the grounds once supported a large boat house with a sail loft above. The plans of this building may be seen in the museum. The roof was destroyed by earthquake in 1871, and concrete caps were placed on each pillar to prevent erosion. If you are interested in the progress of the restoration of the rest of this historic Dockyard, please visit the office of the National Park Authority, upstairs in the museum building Officer's Quarterad to accept any donations and give information. Each guest is asked to pay a small fee to enter the Dockyard initially. This will be added to your bill and paid to the National Park Authority.
