Nine rooms. No two the same.
Named rather than numbered, because after a hundred years they have earned it. Rates include breakfast and everything in the honesty cupboard.
The four kinds of room
If the one you want is taken we will tell you which is closest, honestly.
The Garden Room
Ground floor, own door onto the terrace, roll-top bath. The one people book a year out.
The Long Room
First floor front, two windows over the water, a bed you need a small run-up to get into.
Harbour Rooms
Three of them, all facing the boats. Wake up to gulls and a working quay, which is a feature or a warning depending on you.
The Eaves
Top floor, sloped ceilings, a single and a small double. Cheap, warm and oddly the most requested for solo stays.
Per room, per night, breakfast included
No single supplement, no resort fee, no charge for the dog. Two-night minimum on Fridays and Saturdays from June to September.
The Eaves
from, per night
Top floor single or small double. Best value in the house and the quietest room in it.
Harbour Rooms
from, per night
Doubles facing the water. Three available, so worth asking about midweek even at short notice.
Garden & Long Rooms
from, per night
The two big ones. Roll-top bath and its own door, or the double aspect over the harbour.
Breakfast, and the things nobody should charge for.
A cooked breakfast to order, bread from the bakery four doors down, and coffee that keeps coming. The honesty cupboard on the landing has tea, biscuits, a corkscrew and a shelf of paperbacks people have left behind.
Also included: parking behind the house, a drying room that has saved more walking holidays than we can count, boots and dog towels by the back door, and wifi that reaches every room because we paid to have it done properly.
The questions we are actually asked
Everything here we have been asked more than once, usually at ten at night.
Can we bring the dog?
Five of the nine rooms take dogs, at no charge and with no size limit. Tell us when you book so we put you in one of them. Marlow is friendly but he is not subtle about food.
Is there a lift?
No, and the staircase is listed, so there never will be. The Garden Room is on the ground floor with its own door and is the one to ask for if stairs are difficult.
Do we have to eat here?
Not at all. Dinner is one sitting at half seven, booked separately, and plenty of guests skip it and walk into town instead. Nobody will mention it.
What happens if we cancel?
Free up to seven days before you arrive. Inside seven days we try to re-let the room first and refund you if we manage it, which we usually do.
Is there parking?
Behind the house, free, and enough of it. The station is fifteen minutes on foot if you would rather not drive at all.
Can we arrive late?
Yes. Tell us roughly when and somebody will be up. If the ferry runs late there will be a sandwich, which is not a service we advertise.
Tell us your dates and we will tell you what is honestly free.
A reply from a person, usually the same day, with what is left and what we would put you in.
