Photo of Captain Nickels Inn

“Grand historic house with water-front garden transformed into an impeccably-appointed inn. Delightful rooms are kitted out in period decor with four-poster beds, wainscoting and fireplaces; some have terrific sea views and balconies. Enjoy the on-site tavern, fireside parlours, porch and sun-deck.”
