you for a comfortable stay

Our rooms and facilities

Enjoy the maritime atmosphere throughout our house, all rooms, the hall, the lounge and the breakfast room are decorated in nautical style. There is a collection of captains pictures and interesting nauticaliae (nautical items) around the house, some with short explanations.

Our guestrooms feature wall to wall carpeting, chairs, dressing table, lounge rack, hairdryer, direct dial phone, tea and coffee making facilities, TV and double telephone sockets to plug in your laptop. In each guestroom there is a photograph of the sailing ship it is named after with some explanation. All bathrooms are tastefully tiled and consist of shower, toilet and washhand basin. Heating is central, with individual temperature adjustment possibilities for the room. For guests travelling with babies, we can provide a travel-cot and all rooms are spacious enough to accommodate it comfortably. We take special pride in the cleanliness of our house.

On the groundfloor you enter the hall with an antique bureau which serves as a reception desk. The floor surface throughout the groundfloor ( except the carpeted guestrooms and tiled bathroom ) is of laminated wood (japanese cherry). From the hall you reach the "Messroom" where we serve breakfast. The "Galley" (kitchen) is adjacent to the "Messroom". There are two fully wheelchair accessible guestrooms on the groundfloor. Both rooms are also very convenient for senior citizens. These rooms and the shared bathroom are accessed from a side lobby.

The guestroom ''Boa Esperanca'' is a single room'' (1 single bed ). There is a washbasin in the room and it shares the bathroom, which is adjacent, with the twin room. It is named after the portuguese replica of a caravelle, which serves as a sail training ship. The guestroom ''Eagle'' is a twin room (2 single beds). It also has a washbasin and shares the bathroom which is adjacent to the single room. The room is named after the United States Coast Guard Sailing Ship ''Eagle''.

On the first floor the landing features a series of prints illustrating the so called "Grain Races". These were races of sailing ships from Europe to Australia and back. There is some interesting explanatory text. A ''Captain's picture'' and information about this art form are displayed. On the wall there is a half model of aYacht ''Fair Winds", she was opened and memorabilia of her Sark Tall Ship Races.
From the landing you enter the residents lounge called "quarterdeck" and two guestrooms named "Asgard" and "Astrid". The "quarterdeck" faces the harbour and the Marina and the big window offers a magnificent view. It is like a small martime museum, yet a very comfortable room to relax in. It features ample seating around the main table, which is made of an original sailing ship's steering wheel, and a 3 seater couch. There is also a single, very comfortable armchair. On one wall there is an electric fireplace surrounded by a built in unit mahogany and teak, which houses literature, music cassettes and CDs for your use. The main features of the decoration are the sextant (nautial navigational instrument), several ''captain'' pictures'', compasses, a handheld harpoon used for whaling. All nautical items are originals and were actually used and infomation was provided. The whole room is very bright as there are 2 more windows towards Denis Quay.
