“This is a properly historic place-dating back to the 1700s-and it really delivers on charm with an engaging bar atmosphere that draws a local crowd. I especially like that they source seafood from their own trawler and involve guests in the process, plus families can settle into self-contained apartments, making it a practical choice. The hotel really shines with its commitment to events and service.”
