“Navigating the property, particularly the attic rooms, requires attention to the original beams, a small price for the superb, tastefully renovated spaces with estuary views. The proximity to the Royal George for a fantastic breakfast experience is well worth the short walk, offering stunning bay vistas that captivate for hours.”
