Was a quaint Inn. 1844. Everything you need and plenty of sites within walking distance. Fabulous oysters to be bought at The Wharf. Also prawns. Would have been great to have a microwave but really there wasn’t room for one. Nice staff.

Great Pub, clean & comfy room

Clean and comfortable, but somewhat dated. Check-in was quick & easy. Car parking was a hassle as there are more rooms than car-parks and we didn't arrive until later in the afternoon. Being a Friday night, the Pub was very busy, but we still managed to find a table for 2 in the decked beer-garden area, service and meals were very good.
