Style Notes

White and with a historical seaside air. Bedrooms are made up with crisp white bedding and to hotel standard. Decor gives a nod to Georgian Charlestown, with a heavy gilded mirror in the bathroom and a naval map and oil paintings on the wall, alongside black and white photography. We love the simplicity and clever use of space.
