“The character of this harbourside establishment is undeniable, particularly the restaurant's commitment to thoughtfully prepared, garden-fresh fare. While some rooms lean towards the compact, the comfort and sea views from others, especially those in the Sail Loft, are quite something. It's the seamless integration with Clovelly's charm, complete with its land rover shuttle, that truly sets it apart for a unique escape.”
