David was an excellent host and the veggie breakfast that he cooked to order could not be faulted. His homemade bread is delicious. Our room was cosy, but had everything we needed. Good powerful shower :) Great location for eating along the quayside. David's restaurant recommendations were spot on.
5.0 / 10.0·Mar 2026
Georgian house now boutique hotel. Very welcoming owner/manager, who's furnished it with interesting art and other historic items. Good fresh full English breakfast. Short walk to harbour sea-front and to High Street shops.
