Hello Retro! Spiral staircase between two floors. Four bedrooms. Endless views.

Step back into a simpler time of avocado spa baths and gilded swan taps. Call down the spiral staircase for someone to bring another G&T through the swinging saloon doors. Put some Moody Blues on the stereogram and get moody. Sway in front of the wall of mirrors under crystal light sconces and chandeliers. Gaze at the sea views and the ships coming into the port – and marvel at the way it looks like a space station at night. Or watch Netflix. Also a perfectly good option.

FREE EARLY CHECK IN AND LATE CHECK OUT IF AVAILABLE – JUST ASK!

Better than imagined

This house is dated for sure (in the best way imaginable). The detail was endless, everywhere you looked there was something new and exciting to discover. Then once you get past the decor, the views were spectacular with floor to ceiling windows on both levels in room after room. Watch the ships come in and out of the shipyard was fun, especially at night. Would stay again 100%.
