“Settled on a historic lane steps from the harbour, this 16th-century house reveals a beautifully decorated interior, smartly refurbished for comfort and function. Its three levels offer ample space, with a well-equipped kitchen and lounge area making it a practical base. The proximity to the ferry and local amenities adds a layer of convenience, while the thoughtful touches, like a deep bath, invite genuine rest.”
