Situated on the Seaside of the Seacliff Road right beside the Marina, The Boathouse is a unique and enchanting historical building dating back to the 1840s. One of the ultimate goals during its refurbishment in 1992 was never compromising on the character of these former Coastguards - Harbour Masters house. We are delighted it retains much of its historical charm with its interior tastefully decorated.
