A delightful Georgian townhouse on a narrow harbour backwater plays host to Paul Ainsworth’s restaurant. The small first floor bar-lounge has a clubby, masculine feel, while the cosy, intimate dining room has a slightly funky vibe. All of the tables have a view into the kitchen and diners are encouraged to step inside and talk to the chefs after their meal. Service is friendly and enthusiastic and the well-versed team strive to make your visit a memorable one.

Paul’s creative, original cooking is founded on well-honed classic techniques; he likes to play with traditional recipes and give them a contemporary twist. Dishes arrive attractively presented, ingredients are first class and flavours are robust and clearly defined.

Nearby, six luxurious, individually styled suites come with top quality linens and bespoke toiletries.
