After a hard day exploring the Island, why not just relax and enjoy a delicious four-course meal in our fully licensed restaurant?

All of our food is lovingly prepared in-house using fresh local produce wherever possible. Our Chef has British, Italian, Thai and other cuisines in his repertoire, so there should be something on the menu to suit all tastes!

We are fully licenced and have a well stocked bar with draught beers and an interesting wine list for your quaffing pleasure!

There is so much to see and do on the Island whatever the weather or the time of year. Alternatively, you could just sit back and relax in the quiet surroundings of our beautiful hotel.
