The guest list at this gorgeous, 15th-century hotel has featured actors, writers, statespeople and kings. Painted wood and antiques fill the bedrooms, while the vine-fringed breakfast terrace has delightful harbour views. Ask for room 123 with its wraparound balcony – Winston Churchill and King Juan Carlos of Spain no doubt enjoyed their stay in it too.
