This quiet guesthouse occupies a lovely old timbered house opposite the Maritime Museum at the eastern end of the harbour. The rooms themselves are crammed with character via hand-decorated furniture and liberally applied colour on the walls and ceilings. There's a kitchen for guest use and an attached antique shop. Prices don't include breakfast.
