I booked Sarah’s place at full moon in winter, so we could watch the moon rise over the bay. It did just that and was completely magical. It rained most of the time we were there (as hoped), which was gorgeous and snuggy - perfect for cooking, reading and drinking champagne.
We love walking and enjoyed our morning walk from Captain’s Rest into the little coffee shop in town, where they have possibly the best banana bread and muffins ever.
We also walked to the pub on the main street and back. The pub has good windows for people watching of an afternoon.
We went for a row on the boat between rain showers.
We walked at People’s Park.
We slept well in the comfiest of beds and cooked a lot too.
This place is fantastic for ‘just being’ for a little while. The town itself is very quiet in winter and there’s not a huge amount to do... but that’s the point of this place. Captains Rest is a perfect resting spot, as it says in the name. We adored it. Thank you Sarah!
