We combine these with crunchy fresh vegetables and herbs, which are grown locally for us, and with great steaks and fine wine you won’t be disappointed.

With probably the best location in this picturesque village, all our bedrooms are en-suite with T.V.’s and most have balconies overlooking the beach and bay. We also have a lovely friendly pub which serves great pints, the perfect place to relax and watch the boats coming and going.

With six golf courses on our doorstep we are the ideal base for the avid golfer. We would be delighted to quote special rates for groups or halfboard

The segment of the wall inside The Reginald incorporates the only two remaining "sallyports" in the entire city. These were small gates leading to the river which was, at that time, just outside the walls and they were used by the vikings to launch their boats of "sallyforth" in order to attack the enemy.

Lunch is from £4.95.
