The Quarterdeck restaurant specializes in locally sourced seafood and seasonal menus.
Historic touches include themed rooms and naval-inspired decor, linked to Lord Nelson's visits.

“I was particularly impressed by the bedrooms, some boasting exceptional balcony views over the beach and pier; the friendly team adds to the charm. While the downstairs interior could use a refresh, the sea-view rooms, comfortable beds, and delicious breakfast served on the balcony are truly memorable. Overall, it's a fabulous place to stay.”
