Imaginative cuisine and private beach for the ‘well heeled’. With a new cool taupe wash throughout, wooden floors, new look bar and small boutique shop the colonial-chic ethos embraces the traditional need for Games Room, Reference Library and Quiet areas. Panoramic views to uninhabited islands and the Round Island Lighthouse, bedrooms and public areas alike set our unique location apart. The hotel is a wonderful location to spend a holiday or a short break.
