Manuel Towers

Manuel? He's from Barcelona… Fawlty Towers gags aside, this five-room waterfront B&B near Penguin Island is the real deal, with rough-hewn limestone walls, terracotta tiles, chunky beams, wrought-iron balustrades, fig trees and a Spanish host (OK, he's from Morocco, but he grew up across the Med). The downstairs breakfast room is marvellously atmospheric – a little slice of Catalonia in Shoalwater.
