Classically beautiful...

...and bursting with charm!

Our Classic Sea View Rooms carry through all the little luxuries and comfort, stunning harbour views and finer rustic details as our King Room, just in a cosier setting. Watch dayboats come in, check out the visiting cruise ships, and catch all the comings and goings of a busy harbour - you'll never tire of it!

Accessible stays

We have one large bedroom with accessible facilities, including a wet-room.

Dog-friendly stays

We're pretty relaxed when it comes to holidaying with your pooch. We just have a few 'hound' rules we kindly ask you to follow during your stay:

Your four-legged friend is welcome in all areas of the hotel, apart from restaurant and the lounge (unless assistant dogs).
If you would like to dine with your pup, meals can be enjoyed in our Highland Park Bar.
Our team are armed with doggy treats - we'll always ask before we dish these out!
All dog-friendly stays must be pre-booked so that we can make sure you have the best bedroom for your stay.

We ask just one thing in return: please consider the comfort of other humans, keeping your hound on a lead where necessary and being sure to calm them if they become a bit excited! We understand, we're excited too, but it's always good to be considerate!

Dog-friendly bedrooms need to be pre-booked; a fee of £20.00 per night applies for each pup (2 pups max).

Please call 01856 872232 to book a dog-friendly room.
