Stayed here the other night following a very good seafood meal complimented by an enjoyable local wine. The building oozed history and was full of character. The bedroom was very clean and well maintained. We had the impression that if the weather had been any colder the heating in the room would have struggled to keep us warm. The owners... More

We stayed for 1 night and thoroughly enjoyed it. Very interesting building, comfortable room if a bit small, and excellent food at both dinner and breakfast.

As they do not serve dinner on Sunday evenings the proprietors disappeared after check-in leaving us in the spectral company of the bonneted old lady who has been living in... More

An oustanding location, a genial and convivial host, excellent service, comfortable rooms and above all, one of the best meals I've experienced in the UK made this one night ferry stop a truly remarkable experience! The confit of duck was to die for! Every effort was made to minimise fuss and increase our enjoyment. Many thanks!
