Freshly prepared and served by attentive staff.

The restaurant and menus offer the days catch and are well prepared with the finest ingredients. The restaurant is beautifully decorated and houses throughout a collection of paintings by the proprietor Frances MacDonald.

Dining heaven

Views to die for. Exceptional seafood. What else to say? Evening meals use freshly caught fish and seafood whist the breakfast kippers set you up for the day ahead.
